Due to Carl C's issue with his vinyl seating, I put together an informal reference list of products to use and not to use on your vinyl seats and upholstery.
This list is not complete and I can add or change it at any time. If you disagree, let me know.
The data has mainly come from marine upholstery shop websites, some manufacturers sites, and some personal experiences. Keep in mind, this is just for future reference and just because someone has used a product with some success doesn't mean it is necessarily a good idea moving forward. :biggrin.:
Also, I am no expert in this field, so don't shoot the messenger.
