Hello All,
Reviving an old thread, but I am a recent convert to Malco!
I posted a bit of the 1st post on this thread, and this post is the reason I decided to try it.
If you missed this thread when new, the first page is worth going back to read.
The first page.
Here is the link to the original thread:
"Results are in on the best vinyl cleaner"
I added my reply to to bottom of the thread, but I guess since it was in the archives, it didn't show up on the recent posts, so I decided to start a new thread.
Seriously HateNPain, 'weekly deep cleaning'... wow!
Your recommendation was the one that made me try Malco Leather and Plastic Cleaner.
The boat has been in outdoor storage with the transom literally hanging over a seawall, with the original 12 year old cover on it, for 2 years.
Mildew ran rampant. It has been 2 1/2 years since it was cleaned.
BTW, I did all of this with one hand (I had a beer in the other hand).
Don't try this at home, I'm a professional.
First, this is the juice:

Before:
well, I had just sprayed it down with the Malco, and took a few swipes with the brush on it.
The left side of the picture didn't even get hit with the brush, so you can kind of tell what it looked like before I sprayed / brushed it.
I let it soak for about 1 minute.
During:
I took a paper towel, and took a swipe at it....
After:
I sprayed it off with a garden hose, (the dirt literally washed off, without rubbing), then I hit it with some 303...
WOW!
All this in less than 5 minutes with one hand! I didn't even get the beer finished!
Thanks HateNPain for the write up, you saved me alot of work, and possibly the $$ on a new interior!
Looks and feels new... the seat looked worse than the before picture shows, and now looks better than the after picture!
Malco is not easy to find, but well worth it.
I figure the rest of the boat is a 4 beer project, but I don't want to rush it... so maybe a 6 pack?
