Clean & Protect Vinyl Boat Seats ( Properly ) | Revival Marine Care

[@SaltyPirate71]

Kinda surprised that you don't rinse the Purple Power before applying the 303 Aerospace. Also, I have a background in industrial cleaning and often have to use bleach when or where I had rather not. If you check with your local pressure washing supplies warehouse, they will carry a product designed to neutralize sodium hypochlorite that is significantly hotter than what you might use for mold and mildew or stains on a boat. It's easy enough to just mix a spray bottle full when you need to use bleach and immediately neutralize and rinse it away.

[@brendangustafson7389]

Used this on my new to me 2005 sea ray select. Didn't think the seats were that bad but man I was I wrong! Thanks for sharing!

[@scallywags360]

I’ve read on other detail sites that you should never use degreaser or magic eraser because though it does a really great job of cleaning, it also slowly takes off the protective coating in marine seats, which greatly shortens the life of the seat.

[@DrakesDetailing]

It’s either clean like this, or have dirty stained seats

[@opticmanz]

Why does that matter? he uses a protectant

[@chadgeetter308]

[@lousisanimalr718]

Sorry if this a stupid question do you just put tap water or distilled water. With the purple power

[@DrakesDetailing]

Tap water is fine, but both will work

[@DrakesDetailing]

Awesome! Thanks for watching! For the sun screen, you can try super clean and magic erasers. That should work, sun screen can sometimes stain seats bad. You can also try alittle baking soda on the stain, let it sit for a few mins on the stain, if it’s on a white cushion

[@hollyc9135]

Just wondering if you were able to get the orange sunscreen off? I have the same issue.

[@PaulBeckman1]

@@hollyc9135 I did, well most of it. First thing I learned was not to use bleach. I tried a bunch of stuff but the thing that worked for me was using a mr clean magic sponge and leaving it in the sun. Once I got it as white as I could I put a protector on it from star bright

[@eduardoguillen6385]

Thank you so much buddy!, I am a auto Detailer in Idaho and I have several customers that want me to detail their boat and I don’t have experience on marine detailing, but By watching actually 4 of your videos has given me confidence, and like you I don’t like to cut corners and do an average job but to excel in what I do so I can also change accordingly. Thank you and keep up the good work God bless you!.

When you’re talking around 10:00, the windshield on the center console(s) typically has that gap between the two. What’s the suggestion to get that corrected or cleaned properly granted theirs a quarter inch and say it may be oxidized? Remove windshield? If not possible to remove?

Kind of a hard spot, if you can remove the windshield that’s pretty much the only way to buff it

[@klausfriman8768]

Any ideas how I can get rid of the orange/brown stains from my seats? I have tried cleaners, but nothing works. I even tried backing soda.

Not criticizing but is there any concern of wear on seats from the magic eraser? I've used them on my hockey goalie pads with great success but people caution about overuse and wearing down the pads given it's basically just a super fine sandpaper

[@DrakesDetailing]

That’s a valid question! But I have never had a single issue in 5 years of using them on seats. The only time you will have problems is when you use them with bleach. But it’s not the eraser it’s the bleach.

No rinsing off the degreaser? Just wipe off with dry microfibre? Just bought an older ski boat, she is sound but aged and particularly dirty on the upholstery. I’m pretty much counting on you to bring her back to life from afar! Great channel mate, thanks from the land of Aus👍

[@DrakesDetailing]

I would say rinse off the degreaser if you do a heavier dilution of 3 to 1. The mixture that I put in my spray bottle was pretty light, so it will not hurt the seats once you wipe it off and clean it with a 303. Thanks for the comment

[@anthonydominguez89]

Will your technique damage the stitching ???

[@DrakesDetailing]

I’ve done too many times over the course, but life, or too rough it can. I do it very lightly, just enough to agitate the surface to extract the dirt. This is not a recommended practice on a routine basis. I also always go back over the seats with a conditioner to make sure they are rehydrated.

[@ubobski]

Did I get something majorly wrong here? Simple green and magic erasers? Because not only did one stain not come out, I have a big yellow spot where I used the magic eraser. Wish I could upload a picture of it, but it’s nasty.

You definitely don’t want to do it too hard, but and make sure the degreaser does not sit in there too long…

Iv never had an issue with the magic erasers, bleach will cause you issues with the stitching. I don’t really use bleach anymore. It’s hard to answer that question without seeing what you’re talking about, you can either try to just get your pad in there as best you can. Or you may have to just do it by hand.

Great great video. Best thing for mildew on the vinyl. I’ve tried everything and still have the spots. I read all the comments and found one comment you made about bleach. Most all cleaners have it or some variation of it. If used sparingly on light brown seats on a Key West, so think it’ll screw it up. I always wash thoroughly after those other cleaners and then use 303. Just can’t all the dang spots out. Haven’t tried magic eraser and bleach yet. Thoughts please. Again they are the light brown colored vinyl. Thanks in advance.

[@DrakesDetailing]

Hey Ronnie! If you do use bleach, be very careful, just a hint of bleach with hot water. On colored seats I would just stick to degreaser. I would feel more comfortable using bleach on white seats instead of brown ones.

You know, its funny because magic eraser or the foam its made from is actually about 30 or so years old. It has been used in the insulation industry for sound and heat. Being its made from basically 3k to 6 dinner plate grit. I dont recommend to my customers to use magic eraser on their seats unless absolutely needed. But I hate using bleach on the seats or back rests.. The eraser is like 3,000 to maybe 5,000 grit sand paper and works by causing micro abrasions, woman call it exfoliation but in the world of abrasives its called sanding...And it leaves minor scratches that cause boat covers to make mildew marks on the seats fairly easy, and it leaves tiny white pieces behind as it wears down...Have you ever thought about that or noticed these things.....Look at a piece of vinyl with a magnifying glass. Thats what our gel coat guy told use to do...Then scrub it with magic eraser, you will see what I mean it does change the surface slightly and makes it feel thinner if scrubbing, so we always got to be careful no matter the product. ...But the amount of work you put in it will only be truly appreciated only if someone does this themselves. Because there is a reason there isnt boat detail shops everywhere , even car detail shops...That should tell you something usually around here the only places that do it are our marina's. Until I picked up the local lake here and am doing it myself for people...the market is huge as folks just are not happy with the production paced, hurry up detailing Marina's usually do...because time is money...with us folks that do it as income or on the side...It is hard work and can take someone all day....But its worth it..and the end product is better than most marina's ...thanks for the vids..

Thanks!

Thanks for the comment! Unfortunately I do not know any detail that work with legendary in Destin. They have made it very expensive for detailers to work there, which is why we know longer service there. If you call the front desk they can give you a list of contractors that are able to work there. The best thing you can do to keep your boat clean is wash it at least once a week, never store it while it’s wet, also keep it protected with a wax about every 4 to 6 months and once a month spray McKees 37 Hydro pearl on the boat. Coming up in about a week I’m going to release a video specifically addressing this issue for boat owners to keep their boats maintained and cleaned. So stay tuned!

They said if you leave the degreaser on there without washing it off after that when the sun hits the degreaser it can do the same as bleach by drying out the seats and stitching.

Glad you like the videos! Yes, you might need to be a little more aggressive with the magic eraser on seats that are really bad. It’s typically not the best thing for them to be scrubbed really hard with a magic eraser but if they are that old then doing that is better then having them look bad! Just make sure to Always follow up with a protective coating like 303 after you are done scrubbing with magic eraser

@@DrakesDetailing OK, that makes sense. If you ever need an example boat of how to turn a zero into a HERO, I'm your test dummy!! 🤣 😂 🤣

Any degreaser can use on the vinyl seat?

I suppose but just be carful . I like to stick with purple power or simple green just because I know it works! Ha
