Ok, I've tried just about everything to get these white vinyl seats clean. I guess I've neglected them and let the dirt and dropped goldfish bake into them. The magic eraser is not even working and I've tried off the shelf cleaners but nothing. If I dont find help with this, I guess I'm going to eventually come up with some kind of home brew that will eat the seats all together.

Please help!!!

A lot of those stains will bleach out from the sun eventually.

I clean mine every time out. Unfortunately, I still ended up with a little stain on the white portion. Magic eraser didn't take it out :( I'm looking around for a better cleaner

I had some discoloration on my prior boat and used oxyclean and a medium bristle brush...it got most off, but not all.....and never had any issue with stitches failing. Just a thought and for the most part it worked.

Currently i use 3m Marine Vinyl cleaner and treatment everytime i put her up.

I had luck with heavy amounts of Fantastic and a fairly course srubby pad. Agressive yes, but it got them clean. LOTS of 303 when I was done.

Bleach based cleaner = does miracles on fiberglass from drunk hot girls spilling wine.

I really want to try the magic eraser maybe I'll pick one up today
