Vinyl Restoration

[Dshriber]

I used a boat detail company and they used soft scrub and a magic eraser on my vinyl cushions. They now have cark blemishing. Previously in great condition. Boat is only 5 years old and very well maintained. Any suggestions on a product or method to get the original white color back over the blemishes?

Thanks!!

Try this.
Works wonders on my golf cart seats.
Just spray it on. Let it sit for 30 minutes.
Rinse.

Thank you very much. The vinyl is decolored from being cleaned too hard. Its not stains as much as it is discoloring. Do you think it would still work?

Thanks

Do you think the dye was removed?
If so you'll have to have it re-dyed.
Contact a local car dealership.
They'll put you in touch with a local vendor who does that.

However, this Star Brite stuff might also help.
I would try it first.

Star Brite products are the bomb!

Soft scrub and a magic eraser sounds pretty brutal on vinyl.

I'd be surprised if anything brought the vinyl back if they got on it that hard with soft scrub or a magic eraser. No way I'm getting anywhere my vinyl with an abrasive.

This star brite chemical, it's absolutely amazing, no scrubbing required.

I like Starbrite products but if the vinyl was damaged by an abrasive like Soft Scrub or a Magic Eraser I’m not sure how a stain remover is gonna help.
