Rep Power: 372 Boat Detailing
I myself have never detailed a boat. I was wondering if anyone has. What do you guys use on the seats to get them clean again?

Rep Power: 0 the seats are vinyl right? the few boats ive done have all had vinyl seats, in which case i just used armor all cleaner and resist all vinyl protectant and a soft bristle brush if its bad. the bigger question is, what are you going to do if the boat has gel coat!! i hope it doesnt or if you know how to clean/shine gel coat let me know!

Rep Power: 372 I was thinking of using a cleaner that is like Simple Green. They are really dirty. My girlfriend only has a bimmini top on the boat...It is not a full cover. The seats are vinyl. and they are supposed to be a light creme color, well they are dark tan....Its gross. I will then use Vinyl X on them...She uses armorall but I am going to put a stop to that lol. As for waxing the boat, she has done that. She has some wax that she uses....What do you recommend. It is a 94 22 foot Stingray...

Rep Power: 0 yeah if the seats are that bad simple green is the way to go. i'd recommend putting nu finish on the boat, since this is a once in a while thing right. . you can use this in the sun also as it is not a wax, but a polymer based chemical which bonds with the finish. its in a orange bottle and comes as liquid or paste.
