Interior Cleaner

[cc322]

Any recomendations on a good cleaner for the interior of the baot?

[riverbound]

Magic erasers and Simple green work wonders for me. then folow it up with some vinyl pretectant.

[voodoomedman]

Blue bottle of Meguire's works fine. So does the Dri Wash n' Guard stuff. If it's really dirty bust out some non soapy citrus cleaner and then follow up with the aformentioned stuff.

Wher do you get the Magic erasers?

[Phat Matt]

Wher do you get the Magic erasers?
Almost anywhere. Walmart, Target, probably even the grocery store. They work amazing. Even the knock offs. :)

[voodoomedman]

Magic erasers are the only thing I've found to use on the white rubrail.

Magic Erasure for tough spots.....but for every day use Zep Vinyl Cleaner/Protectant.......very good cleaner with built in protectant....
When I do need the Erasure, I follow it up with the Zep Vinyl Cleaner/Protectant.

I use the 3M marine vinyl cleaner/restorer. For stubborn stuff we use Tough Stuff, as someone above mentioned. The 3M absolutely makes the whole interior look brand new even after it has been thrashed on by several on the boat. The wife usually does the interior while I am wiping the outside, and she will use nothing else. She actually starts to freak if we get low on product. I always have a bottle or two stashed as back-up. We have tried several different ones but we both like it the best.
I have not, however, tried the 303 stuff - which is supposed to be real good.
Another think about the 3M is that is leaves a protective coat but is not greasy.

A good detailer is my recommendation as well............................ :) right INSman ?

[havaduner]

the cool thing about magic erasers, they will clean with just water, if you're in a pinch. I always have a couple in the boat.

Right !!!!
But, sometimes you just need a little "maintenance" cleaning after the big guy has gone in and done the full monty :D

[Not So Fast]

If you use the Magic Eraser and your boat has some years on it just be prepared to go over the ENTIRE upholstery because the thing cleans it (even in the little nooks and crannys of the vinyl) to bright white so spot use will show badly. NSF

I have all boat bling cleaners in stock here in aliso viejo, if u want any P.M. me for the hot boater deal. here is some info on the vinyl sauce.........
"VINYL SAUCE" is a biodegradable, ready to spray interior cleaner. "VINYL SAUCE" is non-caustic, non-butyl and works in numerous marine cleaning applications. It is gentle and safe to use on all paint, vinyl and metal surfaces.
"VINYL SAUCE" is great for cleaning upholstery, carpets and interior vinyl/leather panels and even doubles an effective engine, floor and all surface cleaner that excels as a de-waxing agent. For wax and polish removal reduce existing product 40:1. "VINYL SAUCE" can be applied directly from the quart bottle with the provided trigger sprayer-the simple spray on and wipe off process. Use undiluted on vinyl, plastic, leather and carpets. When applying to cloth or upholstery you can use undiluted or reduce the existing formula 10:1 for general cleaning. Your interior deserves all the attention the exterior gets; our special "VINYL SAUCE" is the simple solution.
NOTE on the VINYL SAUCE Product:
The VINYL SAUCE is such a powerful cleaner that we recommend that you dilute the product at least 2 parts water to 1 part VINYL SAUCE. Please ensure you wipe all VINYL SAUCE off and leave no excess residue. You will be AMAZED by this product!

I had some spots on the purple part of my engine cover and took the boat to Tammys in Havi. They said that using simple green probably caused it. I had to replace the whole cover. They use the Zep brand only.

[My Man's Sportin' Wood]

I love the vinyl sauce. But I am going to try the magic eraser when I drag the boat out of mothballs in a couple of months.

[Hardly Satisfied]

I agree, even if he forgets your side doors :D Hi Doug

[My Man's Sportin' Wood]

I wasn't real satisfied with the detail jobs I've paid for. I found I still had to clean it after them. Same with most housecleaners.

Have had some spotting caused by magic erasors too.I always wipe off all and follow up with 303 protectant

[TOBTEK]

note on MAGIC ERASERS........ dont use them on ther interior painted walls of your house. I did when we were selling our last home. They leave a weird sheen on the walls. Had to seal the areas and repaint.

You're too far away! :(

From much experiance, Vinyl Sauce works better than any product I used. I dilute 5 to 1. You can get from suppliers on these boards or directly from Patrick at www.boatling.net. Again, Vinyl Sauce is an amazing product

Oh, maybe so... Sorry :D
I was thinking that we were talking about Havasu :idea: ;)

Most detailers don't take pride in their work. When I show up to a job I put myself in the state of mind that the boat. car or rv is mine. so I detail it like its mine. Alot of detailers show up to a job and treat it as a job. My old man always told me 'Detail it like its your own. and you'll be just fine'

White rubrails-acetone then wipe dry!
