My cousin-in-law operated my SNOB several times last week (pulling me). When I looked at the driver's seat, there was a purple tint to the once white vinyl. My cousin-in-law was wearing a wind / splash top that seems to have bled onto the vinyl.

I used Meguiar's vinyl cleaner and Hot Sauce vinyl cleaner. Both products had little or no effect on the purple tint.

Any ideas or suggestions on how to remove the purple tint? I've heard that Soft Scrub works to remove vinyl stains, but I'm hesitant to use it as it contains abrasives. What do ya'll think?

Have you tried bleach or ammonia (separately of course)?

Bleach is tomorrow's project. Any feedback on the proper dilution ratio?

A few years ago my wife laid down on our sun deck with a new pink swimsuit bottom on and left behind was a beautiful pink triangle on our white vinyl. I even tried a Malco vinyl cleaner that I’ve always had success with and it did very little. In the end I ended up going for the magic eraser, which Isn’t exactly good for the protective layer of the vinyl, but it worked. I washed and treated the vinyl immediately, and everything is still holding together.
