Greetings Everyone:  Hopefully someone has a suggestion for removing a rust stain from one of the seats at the helm. I am not sure what the actual material is, other than describing it as vinyl.  It is the factory helm seat on a 2000 340.  Thanks

I would try Malco Leather and vinyl cleaner, if that does not work you could try oxyclean mixed in water. malco leather and vinyl cleaner usually takes out most stains on vinyl. If it is on the fiberglass portion of the seat, try FSR(Fiberglass stain remover), I would not use FSR on Vinyl.

Thanks Don, I will give it a try tomorrow. I do not recognize the name Malco, is this at a big box or marine store? I'll try the oxyclean tomorrow.

The Malco vinyl and leather cleaner is hard to find, I buy it on the internet. I was made away of it from the person who does my upholstery on my classic cars. It is an excellent product. I just googled it so you can check it out, this was the first place it came up at https://detailsupplyplaza.com/products/malco-leather-plastic-cleaner-gallon?variant=16119508205614&msclkid=6af92d6d92641cf8e21b708b75be4f30&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=**LP%20Shop%20-%20Malco&utm_term=4576167401946526&utm_content=shopify_US_1680342712366_16119508205614%20%7C%20Malco%20%7C%20Leather%20%26%20Plastic%20Cleaner%20-%208%20oz%20%7C%20%244

I found a product called Marine Strip for cleaning seats ad power cords, etc. super strong but will clean stains and make seats look new again. I would only use it occasionally. You can find it online.

Thanks for the info. This is great membership forum . It saves a lot struggling trying to sort something out and avoid trial and error. I'll look the product up, and clean the power cord. Florida weather takes it toll on everything.

Use Mr. Clean Magic Eraser pads and a cleaning product called Fabuloso. Together they will make your seats look like new!

Be careful with Magic Eraser on your vinyl. I rubbed right through the color in a spot on mine.

Yes, go light for sure! Mine is white also. I was trying to remove a stain and ended up removing more! I know people advise against this, but I use bleach on everything white. It comes out beautiful! Been doing it for years.
