I finally have the sled here at the house, with my shop getting complete and want to take all the cushions completely out, as well as all the junk, and clean it 100%. Regardless if I sell it :notam: at least it will be clean. I was thinking soapy water and a soft scrub brush first then what for a final deep clean?

I've been using Folex Carpet Stain Remover. I was cleaning a spot on the carpet and was too lazy to get out of the boat to get the vinyl cleaner so I just used the Folex, been using it ever since.

I was going to use that on some of the scuffs... the scrub brush is a soft bristled brush that will not hurt or mark anything...just get into the cracks and such. I use ZEP vinyl clearner but if its not already somewhat clean it just smears the dirt around.

This flite cleaner works great I bought it off the net and of course Eliminator told me about it. I have had trouble with girls nail polish leaving marks on the seat then I have used meguiers leather cleaner and just rubbed the shit out of it and it has came clean.I never tried the Mr. Clean but worth a try..

I actually had an adult with makeup on her LEGS?!?!? If thats not weird enough it made a nice tan area on the seat. Thats all cleaned up but I have the opportunity to clean this thing all the way down. All the crap...everything...comes out! We fired up the AC/heat unit yesterday and my garage is nice and toasty....time for some work.....
Nice and toasty time for a few drinks and some manual labor. Damn adults are just as bad as the kids. I havent seen my boat in about 2 months Im gonna drive up to check on it today..

I hear ya...this one has only spent 3 or 4 nights out while we were vacationing...other than that, inside is the only way. It sounds like allot of us are pretty anal about keeping things clean and in order.

hmm...that is the question of the moment. I am considering three or four...
Trident....when I fly into town in two weeks I hope Wes will be around to show me his new project.
E-Ticket....I am trying within the same trip to go see Larry....
HTM...little leary on this one...seems the company might be "restucturing" and I dont want to get in the middle of something like that...
I wouldnt mind getting the new 30' Magic deck...but they are a little too proud for my wallet.
I am looking for twin HP525(to Whipple later) or Llmor V-10's. Each one of those is 300lbs lighter and that is VERY attractive.
Decisions, decisions...besides, i need to sell my sled first....according to my wife.

Eliminator 4 Life

12-05-2004, 12:37 PM

Yea that Trident looks pretty sweet I hope he has something at the LA show. I would like to see it in person.
E ticket I think they were mean to Bre one time so forget them :sqeyes:
I have always like HTMS since they first came out but yea I agree what does the future bring I hope they make it through it all.
You dont want to get another Ultra?

i use 3m clean and shine works great it also cleans the threads and pours within the vinyl. I hear that magic erasure works good i also heard it cleans so deep thast it removes the uv protection thats built into the vinyl not good...derek
I'm going to use very mild warm water with dish soap(get the easy stuff off), then work into the pads... I've ruined enough stuff with harsh cleaners.... thanks for the heads up tho...

I would take another Ultra over anything else....just John doesnt have a deck top for the Shadow yet. If he would do it, I would take it....DONE. VERY few people have my trust like John does..I am sure I could just make a phone call and not have to worry about what he's doing...its always top notch.
Nashville's right. One phone call to John West and everything is taken care of. Period.
Nashville have you talke to john about a deck top???? Are they think about doing it any time soon???? Maybe by the time you actually get your sled sold......

We talked breifly when i first wanted to list my sled on his site...he said he's a few years out. If thats changed, I do not know. My last ad for the season expires tomorrow...and thats it for advertising till April. Thats going to screw me if it sell in the beginning of the season.

DITTO....The things work great!!

12-07-2004, 07:23 AM

Since Magic Eraser is a cleaner (a very good one), it doesn't 'dress' the vinyl. Step 2 is to take a Turtle Wax product called '2001' Leather/Vinyl dressing. It takes only 5 minutes to spray on & wipe off & your upholstery looks showroom. It also lubricates & has UV protection to boot. It comes in a green spray bottle & you can get it at Pep Boys or any auto parts store for around $4. :idea:
