| My buddy said he used a small steam cleaner on his boat seats and it worked awesome. Anyone else ever try this method? Just wondering if it was a safe option. |

Wow, you must have some pretty dirty vinyl!    Pesonally, I'd try some of Babe's products first to be safe. Check out the CCfan store. ------------- /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 < |

Pete I have already tried a multitude of cleaners. I have even tried the hotsy!!!! Not really. This is just a little hand held device. I had to go look at his and was amazed at the job it did. I think I will try it on a inconspicuous spot and report back. |

We have one of those shark steam mops and it is pretty great on the floors. Would probably do well on vinyl if I had to guess. ------------- http://correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=2383&sort=&pagenum=7&yrstart=1996&yrend=2000 - 1998 Ski Nautique (Red & Silver Cloud); GT-40; Perfect Pass Stargazer; Acme 422. |

Yes, whatever you use, use a brush to get down into those tiny pits. Just wiping with a towel just doesn't get it all. ------------- Tim D |

These are bad for the clear coat of the vinyl. If the seats are shot anyway, these are OK. Otherwise, they are too abrasive. ------------- “Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.” Ben Franklin |

| The vinyl is in pretty good shape for the age. I do have to wonder though if they had clear coated vinyl in 1969. |
