Z-care LVP is the only stuff recommended.

Boat Babes seat soap and a soft brush is my favorite cleaner, and I have tried a bunch of them. Can't say I have a fav conditioner/protector.

Is that something new Tim? I thought Babes and 303 was the way to go

G&T became the Z-care 5-7 years ago... it’s the only cleaner on the approved list since I’ve been keeping track (~2006).
Yes on the 303 for the protectant. |

Might not be recommended, but I used Simple green mixed 3:1 with water, and 303 as the protectant for 17 years, and upholstery looked new when I sold the boat. FWIW.

Speaking of vinyl cleaners and conditioners, I ran into a problem a couple days ago. I uncovered my X55 and both the deck (vinyl) and the skins have a bad case of mold/mildew. I did some searching looking at reviews as well as a couple youtube videos and came up with Marine 31. I ordered some but has anyone used the stuff? Here's a youtube I found.

Wow Pete. Ice must have really been thick and cleared out late this year- your a couple of weeks late getting the boat out! Might as well just put it away until next year I guess......

The starbrite mold stuff is pretty serious... has some bleach in it judging by the smell. Took out some pretty serious black staining that I assume had been there for some time. Can’t comment on the long term effects- short term, the vinyl remained supple. I followed quickly with z-care and 303.

Yup, Labor day is just a couple weeks out. Yesterday I stopped at Autozone and picked up a fresh supply of Staybil.
