Maintenance Care for Vinyl Upholstery

Vinyl upholstery should be cleaned and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations and instructions.

Vinyl should be cleaned regularly with warm water and a mild dish soap or VINYL FINISH CLEANER using a soft clean cloth then rinsed with water and a soft clean cloth. For dirt build-up, spray VINYL FINISH CLEANER, let soak for approximately 10 minutes, then gently scrub with a soft bristle brush. For specific stain removal, refer to the cleaning and care card enclosed in your owner’s literature.

To further protect the vinyl from early degradation, use 303 VINYL PROTECTANT. Spray on, then wipe dry. 303 VINYL PROTECTANT should be applied every 3-5 weeks when boat is in use. Regular cleaning with mild soap and water or VINYL FINISH CLEANER will not remove the 303.

DO NOT USE 409 (the bottle states not to use on vinyl), do not use kerosene, gasoline or acetone, they will remove the protective marine topcoat.

DO NOT USE any silicone-based protectants. They will extract the plasticizers leaving the vinyl hard and brittle, and eventually cracking will occur.

Certain household cleaners, powdered abrasive, steel wool, and solvent cleaners can cause damage and discoloration and are not recommended. Dry cleaning fluids and lacquer solvents should not be used, as they will remove printed patterns and gloss. Bleach will deteriorate the thread.

Vinyl upholstery should be covered when not in use, to protect from further sun exposure or nature acts of tree debris, air pollutants, and acid rain.

For storage, vinyl should be cleaned, protected, covered and stored in a dry, well ventilated area.
