One of the reasons I used vinegar and water to remove water spots… not only is it super effective, its super inexpensive.Great tips above.. Just remember, you don't have to spend alot of money on overpriced cleaners. Totally Awesome at the Dollar store.

Everything I have read is to never use bleach on the upholstery, as it will weaken the stitching.Mildew that builds up when stored is certainly a thing, so maybe I'll give that stuff a try. Once it sets in, scrubbing with a bit of bleach in water in direct sunlight works miracles though....but over my many years of boating, upholstery has always been white with dark accents. My 255XD has that tan chil-cool stuff for upholstery. As "cool" as that looks, I'm a bit skeptical as to how that will hold up over time. We'll see.
https://shurhold.com/ Check out Shurhold they offer lots of tools and products.So I just got my first boat Yamaha SX250 and pick it up from the dealer on 7/16. What is everyones cleaning methods?
I’ll be trailering it everywhere so do i wash it after every trip out? Whats the best cleaner for the hull? Interior?
Also there may be a couple trips a year where I’ll put it on salt water so whats the cleaning process after that?
Any help is appreciated
Could be. I’ve been doing it for decades and haven’t had an issue, but I’m just a data point of 1. I don’t use straight bleach. Just a capful in a bucket of water. And only on the affected area.Everything I have read is to never use bleach on the upholstery, as it will weaken the stitching.
Ive used soft scrub with bleach and a medium stiff brush on stubborn stains if the Star Brite vinyl polish won’t get it out.Could be.
