| 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. ------------- Hotty Toddy lets go skiing! |

Is that something new Tim? I thought Babes and 303 was the way to go ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |

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. BKH ------------- Livin' the Dream |

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 https://www.marine31.com/best-boat-mildew-cleaner.html" rel="nofollow - Marine 31 . I ordered some but has anyone used the stuff? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StULTeSz_-U" rel="nofollow - Here's a youtube I found. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

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......  ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |

| 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.  ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |
