Mark on seat vinyl from wheel chock

[bmead21]

Like a bonehead, I removed the trailer wheel chock and set it in the boat. I then forgot about it until the next morning. The chock is made out of rubber and left a huge mark on the vinyl seat. Any ideas on that would remove it? I’ve already tried MaryKate vinyl cleaner a half dozen applications.

I just did a quick google search on melted rubber/vinyl and found suggestion regarding goo gone and other solutions. Maybe google and see what you find. I found this tennis ball approach on vinyl floors. Maybe worth trying a

Ronson lighter fluid and cotton rag. Don't do anything abrasive. Lighterfluid will take off scuffs of all kinds on all surfaces, remove lipstick, crayon, gum, adhesive residue. I would be surprised if it didn't work with ease.

I have the same thing happen on my filler seat cushion for the bow. I left our spare tire sitting on it for a few months. Same brown color and it won't come off. It is more like a stain, than rubber transference, so I don't think that tennis ball trick will work. Tried rubbing alcohol, Butane (lighter fluid), degreaser. Probably going to try this next, said it removes stains.

Thanks guys. I've ordered the lighter fluid and will update after that gets delivered.
