Treat Vinyl Before or After Storage

303 protectant hands down. I clean with "Amazing", "Awesome" (both Amazon Prime cleaners) or Simple Green. For spring cleaning I use a bucket with a little soap, warm water and Simple Green on the entire interior including the rugs, compartments and under seats, etc... then a lot of wet vac work!.

Regardless of what you use to clean 303 all the way for vinyl (they also make a great leather protectant that I use on leather motorcycle bags)

I agree, "Amazing" from Bio clean has gotten stains out for me that nothing else would. Including 303 cleaner. They also have a pontoon (or aluminum) cleaner that I haven't tried yet. But 303 protectant for sure.

The best product have user for the last 15 years for general cleaning and removing mold and mildew for both vinyl and the gelcoat is Great Value Mold & Mildew Remover (Walmart).
It is a slightly diluted version of tilex and much cheaper. For vinyl, I spray, wait a few minutes then wipe off. For textured vinyl, I use a soft scrub brush then wipe off. I always rinse thoroughly after each use, followed by sealing the vinyl with 303 sealer protector. The vinyl has remained soft an supple all these years without any cracks.
The gelcoat gets moldy where the mooring cover contacts it, I also use the mildew cleaner, rinse then wax it. Works great.
