Last week I went to check on my boat at the storage unit (outside). Since I no longer have a tow vehicle, and my friends and myself are caught up with school and work, it had been sitting outside a couple months. It has been raining cats and dogs here recently so I took the cover off to allow the boat some time to breathe and get rid of all the moisture. Unfortunately, mildew began to buildup on the vinyl in the bow, driver's seat, sundeck, and other various spots in the boat. Although it was wasn't as bad as some of the pics I've seen on WW, it was enough to make you think, "Aww...my poor baby! Don't worry, I'll clean you up buddy!"
I did a little research on here, searching old posts to find a tried and true mildew remover. Many people suggested the magic eraser, so I went with that. Aside from the erasers, I brought Greased Lightning, which people also suggested, and an all purpose cleaner.
First target was the driver's seat. I was astonished at how easily the eraser wiped away the mildew. I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. You barely have to apply any pressure and it will take off the stain/grime/mildew. I compared it to the all purpose cleaner and greased lightning by initially trying to clean a spot with one of the two, then going over it with the eraser. Scrub and scrub with a towel and liquid cleaner, yet you won't get as good as a cleaning from the eraser. Also, I was able to clean water stains and marks from wear and tear that have been there for YEARS! It couldn't wipe away everything on the white/tan vinyl sundeck, but it looks the cleanest it has been in a long time! I drove away with a big smile on my face
