FYI I wanted to clean the boot for my Bimmini today so having an assortment of cleaners for the Vinyl boot I thought I share my test results. First none are protectors just cleaners So I tested each on a section of the boot The whole boot was dirty across the top and seems and as far as I could tell not cleaned in a few years, So tried the following and let them sit for 5 minutes. Now using two scales the first - a scale of 1 to 5 with 1 being low rated and 5 being the top end result. Then the cost measured in $ signs w/ $ being about 1.99 plus tax and $$$ being more that 5 dollars.

Marykate Ultra Vinyl Cleaner 18 oz spray rates 2 & $$$

MaryKate Heavy Duty Spray Away 32 oz. All purpose cleaner rates 1 & $$$
Spik&Span Clich 32 oz. rates 3 & $ (deleted the proper spelling)

Lysol 4&1 w/bleach 32oz. rates 4 & $

Greased Lightning Multipurpose 32 oz. rates 4+ & $

Re: Cleaner test results

Nice work...and info!

This should be in a more visited forum...since it is good advice for ALL boaters, and not really boat brand related.

Wish that you had tried Soft Scrub w/bleach....

Try some Spray Nine. Get it at Wal Mart for about $5. We get alot of meldue and mold with dirt here.It will remove all of it and dont smell bad. Ron
