I would go with the Meguiars products. They have a fiberglass restoration kit that included an oxidation remover, polish and wax. I have been using the flagship wax with good results. I would use all three the first time and then continue to wax it throughout the season. I am a bit anal so I wax mine after every 2 uses.

Excellent,

Thanks for the advice, my boat will continue to be the shiniest on the Loch.

Cheers,

Before I learned about this site, I used good old Turtle Wax.
But I would Try Meguiars (spelling).

After using the Magic Erasers on the Vinyl, I used #57 Vinyl and Ribber Protectant, and WOW, it sure did make a difference.

Sounds like I am headed to the store to get some and put it to the test

Thank you to whoever had suggested these to me. I went and bought a few of them when my boat was left uncovered for 2 weeks while i was unable to get back to the river to get to it and it completely came clean. I thought i had ruined it but its all back to normal now. Hoping to get some pics uploaded pretty soon. about to winterize it had it out all summer filled it up twice and did not have the first problem at all. MARIAH'S ARE THE BEST

What protectorant do you use?

I fell in love with the Magic Eraser about three years ago. The only problem I had was I just wanted to get one small spot out of my sunpad. The magic eraser took the spot right out but then I had a very white spot and ended up having to clean the entire sundpad which I didn't realize was so dirty...
If you want to get real blown away, try them on your hull. Little scuffs that appear to be right into your gelcoat will come right out. My boat had several scuff from the trailer guides and from the tonneau cover snaps, also the black marks that arise around your snaps...everything came right out with the Magic Eraser.
Just like everyone else mentioned, go heavy on the vinyl conditioner afterwards. The key ingredient of the Magic Eraser is Amonium.

Thanks, Firth's Impression. Magic erasers are unbelivable. What vinyl conditioner do you use?

[Firth's Impression]

3M Outdoor Vinyl Cleaner, Conditioner and Protector. I found this one to work well because it doesn't just clean and protect, it also has the conditioner included. Don't use ArmorAll that we use in our cars on your vinyl. My upholstery guy said that, yes it'll make it shiny and clean but will take away it's subtleness and eventually cause it to dry out.

I'm using 303 Aerospace Protectant. It's a little pricey but my vinyl feels and looks great plus, it works on fiberglass as well.

The main thing is whatever you use, make sure that it has UV protection in it. I'm always interested in hearing what everyone uses.
