[@shawnhodges4]

Thanks so much for sharing your technique and products! I have applied them to my boat for cleaning for at least a few years now with outstanding results!

[@jenmchic22]

I really appreciate your sense of humor and great personality! You are fun to watch and very informative. Thank you for your attention to detail and for being so willing to teach others.

[@IanBlakeBaldwin]

Great info and good advice on proper applications. Thank you sir!

After using super degreaser, what product(s) do you use to protect the seats going forward from UV, sunscreen, future dirt etc?

[@DetailxpertsNet1]

Boat detailing can be done by yourself or better yet - by a professional. A lot of boat owners prefer to hire a professional to perform boat detailing for various reasons. One major reason would be it’s time consuming. Another good reason is that most boat resale value actually decreases because its owners don’t know how to properly care for it.

[@davidandersen9186]

what do you do with the part of the boat that is blocked by trailer fenders

[@johnhfish79]

Mr Clean magic erasers work well for this as well. Really brightens vinyl upholstery as well as fiberglass.

[@themobileboatguys6186]

Magic Erasers aren't good for fiberglass surface, especially on finished product because its abrasive all you are doing is scratching the surface and in the right light you will be able to see where you where rubbing with the Magic Eraser and then have to correct the surface. But yes in a sense you are right they will remove stuff from gel-coat surfaces.

[@davidrasmussen2975]

the magic eraser is abrasive and will take thin shiny layer off vinyl.

I have a 1980 VIP. I was told the fabric was Naugahyde. What do you know about this material? The seats are still in good condition

[@matthewkloiber8884]

Have you encountered orange stains left from the cover on the seats of a boat and if so can it be fixed.

[@jeffwilliams9213]

I have the same problem, did you get a answer?

[@MrJeepsterman]

pretty sure that was not an accurate 4:1 ratio. you would only need to fill the bottle with degreaser to the next line above the 4

[@jeanetteweloglavetz6241]

Hello, where can we buy the cleaning supplies?

[@WarbirdPylonRacer]

What do you use afterwards to condition/protect the Vinyl especially from sun after you've cleaned it?

[@rippinbass9713]

You are not supposed to let Super Degreaser dry on any surface. It must be rinsed off. It says this right on the bottle.

[@vadimnesen8060]

Than leather conditioner or 303 protector

[@Danielaragon]

I've always understood that you fill the bottle to just below the "ribbed" grip part for correct dilution ratio.

[@autofetishdetail]

Check it out yourself in a separate measuring cup and report your findings back to us... So by "correct" you mean 4:1 or do you mean 10:1 regarding the ribbed part of the bottle?

[@samsen201]

Why don't you use Marine 31?

[@gaelmartinezj5496]

Help my friend, how much can I charge for a 21 foot boat?

[@oDirtyHarry]

I would never use a scratch pad vinyl... All you need is some Spray Nine and a magic eraser.

[@wilson3032]

I used Spray Nine and wiped off almost immediately. Yellowed one of my seats. Beware.

[@sinhalo]

Good video for beginners, but you need to be careful next to any stitching when you use a brush. You can break the stitching or create little fuzzes. If anything sometimes little color can be pulled from the clean and bleed into the stitches.

[@autofetishdetail]

John O'Connor Valid points, although some people enjoy that extra tickle those little fuzzes create.

[@sinhalo]

hahaha :) Very true! Just for the amateurs that view this they should brush with care over. Love the Meg's APC though!

[@thomasanderson9296]

Just FYI, Formula Power Boats interiors ARE leather

[@coreysolomon2818]

can i use car wash to wash a boat

[@Tomberland84]

Fred Solomon Yes you can. Boat shampoo is more expensive eventhough it contains the same stuff in the bottle than car shampoo. Only the picture on the bottle/can is different and the price.

[@samsen201]

Anything with "Marine" name added to it, has a magical multiply effect by 2 to 4, on price tag! Go figure out why!!

[@rippinbass9713]

You CANNOT let Super Degreaser dry on the surface, it must be rinsed off! This is stated right on the bottle. Come on man, really?

[@Evadingmoto]

Yes this guy is kind of funny lol

[@sumpunkster]

Why not just use a steamer?

[@dantezambrano1772]

Steamer gets the Vinyl super dry, its actually really bad for it.

[@southwestfloridaaerial3601]

thank you captain obvious,,,,,,,lol you say a lot of nothing

[@autofetishdetail]

South West Florida Aerial And yet, here you are...back for more "nothing".

[@anthonyjackson2329]

I drank the koolaid and bought this Super Degreaser. Tried different mixtures and found that Dawn dish soap worked better. Waste of money.
