Baller_ swbca Posted September 12, 2022 Baller_ Share Posted September 12, 2022 The bow section of our ProStar 197 has its canvas cover snapped on for the entire ski season , but some moisture gets in there causing mildew spots. I bought one expensive boat upholster cleaner that was no better than plain water. I have seen an effective cleaner used by a friend for years on his Malibu without damaging the vinyl, but he doesn't remember what its called and the boat isn't nearby.

Baller_ MISkier Posted September 12, 2022 Baller_ Share Posted September 12, 2022 Try a little baking soda mixed with water into a smooth paste. Scrub with a soft cloth and rinse. The worst slalom equipment I own is between my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller ReallyGottaSki Posted September 12, 2022 Baller Share Posted September 12, 2022 Not on the vinyl, it makes microabrasions that give mold an even better grip to grow in.after you address the mold apply 303 to seal out the yuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Jerry44 Posted September 13, 2022 Baller Share Posted September 13, 2022 Awesome (from Dollar General) and a scrub brush. A bucket of clean water and a rag to wipe it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ Rednucleus Posted September 13, 2022 Baller_ Share Posted September 13, 2022 Everyone over on the Malibucrew forum says magic eraser will damage the vinyl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Wish Posted September 13, 2022 Baller_ Share Posted September 13, 2022 Caution: Totally Awesome from dollar store is a solvent and IS harsh. It will clean the shit out vinyl but you have to have lots of water and towels at the ready. I only use it as a last resort on really bad seats if nothing else works. Condition after for sure.

Baller 2tracmind Posted September 13, 2022 Baller Share Posted September 13, 2022 I place an rv dehumidifier and moisture absorber in my bow and storage locker to prevent the mold from forming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
