Good chance its stained.
Try some engine degreaser and a scrub brush. If that doesn't get it out nothings going too. An DONT wait any longer. The longer you let that shit sit the better the chances of it NOT coming out are.

Soft Scrub with bleach.
last weekend i was "introduced" to the works by ntwotrance and cobra320. I had stains all over the place, went home got the soft scrub WITH BLEACH, carefull on the carpet. Make sure to condition after...hope it works:cool:

bleche white whitewall cleaner or X-14 mildew remover both are strong oxidizers with enzimes . dont leave it on too long but let it work a min before whiping it off . and dont get it on anything you dont want white .
Good luck.

that happened to me a few years back - it'll come out on its own with normal wash and wipe. For faster response, pm warlock 25.

gotta agree with CT here, use the whitewall cleaner if the soft scrub isn't working. dont' ever use engine degreasers and the like on your seats! after you finish make sure you use a good leather cream/conditioner.....

@ Walmart they have Mr Clean brand little white sponges. They kick ass. Only thing to remove the tuff stuff. Worth a try. Let us know if you try it.

I used some of that oxy-clean crap mixed real strong and kept spraying and scrubbing with a stiff brush over and over. Made the original white vinyl in my 30 yr. old boat look like it was only 10 yrs!:D :D :D

The same thing happened to me a few years ago. Tried everything I could to clean it. It got a little better with the cleaning, but the stain didn't come completely out. It made me sick, but after using the boat a few times with the sun beating down on it, the freakin stain just faded away. If it doesn't come out, give it some time before you go to the expense of replacing the vinyl.

Rposton,
Hope you love the new SW... Barry told us to use Fast Orange with pumice on the interior when you couldn't get it out with 409,etc... I would be careful not to scrub to hard for long periods of time... I have used it in our boat for marks on the seat and seems to work pretty well !!! I do agree things seem to disappear with use... :) :D Barry knows alot of tricks if all else fails call SW... Good luck. Hope to see you at the regatta !!!

only use the simple green when all else fails, and be sure to use a vinyl/leather conditioner right afterwards....;)

The Best thing I have found to clean your seat is the Orange hand cleaner, the stuff with a little grit in it. Just rub it in with your hand. It kicks ass on my trouble spots.

you have to be careful with that stuff around the seams/pipes and have to not rub to hard as it pits the material...but also works when all else fails....;)

It will start to fade and eventually go away. I was wearing new hawaiian print shorts about 6 wks ago...got up and saw my seat now had flowers stained into it. I put a towel on the seat everytime I drove it since, and you can't really see the stain now.
