By far the BEST vinyl cleaner I've used on our boat we've had for 20 years. We bought the boat new and I have tried every vinyl cleaner out there. This is by far the best product.
Softens the vinyl to accept vinyl paint more effectively. Works well but highly toxic fumes. You need more then a basic paint mask to protect lungs. Definitely not a product to use indoors.
Easy spray on. It cleans so good, I almost changed my mind about recoloring the vinyl in my Fiat Spider. It definitely leaves the surface ready for spray color. Color laid down nice and even. Amazon wants me to mention thickness?? It's a spray. And longevity?? I just used it. Maybe I can remark about ongevity in a year or too.
It matched perfectly my 14-year-old pontoon boat seats that were more of an off-white than white. After using the cleaner and spraying several coats and hid old mildew spots and match the rest of the seats that weren’t mildewedDoes not appear to flake or chip
I used this primer to coat boat seats before using the actual top paint. It removed resdidual dirt that I thought i had removed and left the surface very clean and pliable. I then top coated with vinyl paint and the result was very pleasing.
