Home Depot sells an industrial cleaner that will do a real nice job. It is ZEP Industrial Purple, and sells for $8-10 a gallon. Mix it with an equal part of water, and it will clean vinyl seats, car tires, and any type of grease. I use it for any kind of heavy cleaning needs I have.

I clean with diluted fantastic and protect with 303.

I have used Starbrite Mold and Mildew remover and that stuff works great.

303 can be purchased at Marine stores or I have seen it on-line. Best way is by the gallon.<br /><br />check out http://www.303products.com/main.php?infopage=retailersearch <br /><br />or <br /><br /> http://www.303products.com/store/category.cfm?Category=7&CFID=802798&CFTOKEN=77697193

For those pesky black spots that no ammount of scrubbing will remove, best product I have found is X-14 but it is getting hard to find, a close second is Tilex Extra Strenght, sold in the paint section at walmart for under 3 bucks. Just spray it on and walk away, do not scrub. Then in an hour or so was em down with a mild soap and water solution. Use protectant if you want, but be advised that it has been reported that it actually magifies UV and hastens detioration.
