Correct Craft recommends that you use something like fantastik. It is not too harmful to your seam threads. A lot of stuff will clean it, but it is usually to harsh for the materials. Thats what I use on both my boats and no problems so far. Hope this helps.

I use simple green. Works great and I have never had any problems with harm to the interior.

I'll also go with the magic eraser. But it doesn't hurt to follow it up with some 303 protectant after you're done cleaning. A lot of the cleaners are harsh on the vinyl and thread. Using a conditioner/protectant afterwards can help keep "clean" vinyl soft and let it live a little longer.

for oil and greeze I have always used "hand cleaner" followed up by portectant. as long as its none abrasive it won't hurt it.

Mine has white interior. So far, nothing more than a wet rag & little bit of elbow grease has gotten everything clean. Including motor oil, shoe smudges, mud, etc.....

simple green works great just make sure its diluted you can buy it either way. i heard non diluted can damage the color of your vinyl

mine is white with a couple small stripes. I use the magic eraser but in combonation with meguires lether cleaner/protectant. one step process and it comes out clean even in the stitches.
