483.0. "Try This For Top Cleaner" by MAMTS6::WFIGANIAK () Wed Aug 23 1989 09:54

    I know there is a note on cleaning tips so someone may want to move
    this. I have an 86 SeaRay 268 with the white vinyl/canvas type covers
    and they do get really dirty. This past weekend, one where it hasn't
    rained here in Maryland, I used Wesely's white wall tire cleaner
    and it looked like a TV commerical. One side of the top was almost
    new looking while the other side still had that "before " look.
    If you havent tried it, do. It really made things look good again.
    Don't forget to follow up with some clear coat. I used the Wesely's
    vinyl cleaner/sealer. This stuff is just sprayed on then rubbed
    in. It has a UV block in it.
    Safe Boating.

483.1	I'll try anything	NRADM::WILSON	Southern NH, The Mass. Miracle	`Wed Aug 23 1989 11:11`	7
	Thanks Walt, I'll give Wesley's a try. My boat is only 4 months old, but already I've had problems with the removing the black stuff that accumulates on the top. Neither Fantastik or Simple Green worked very well. I'll post my results here after trying it. Rick W.
483.2	Great stuff	LEVERS::SWEET	Capt. Codfish...GW Fishing Team	`Wed Aug 23 1989 13:28`	7
	Wesley's also works for removing all types of scum and dirt from fiberglass hulls. Like excess teak oil that has gotten dirty next to trim or left over herring chum..... Capt. Codfish

483.4	try this stuff!	WILKIE::CERIA	2*(454+4bbl)=$0	`Fri Aug 25 1989 08:13`	8
	There is some motorcycle cleaner called 'S100' . Its about $8. for a 16 oz bottle. This stuff is an all purpose cleaner and will leave a shine when dry that is incredible. It the best stuff I have ever used by far! It was developed by a West German chemist who used to work for Proctor and Gamble. The S100 wheel cleaner is the only wheel cleaner recommended by Mercedes Benz. (I sound like a salesman?) It can be found in most motorcycle shops, its in a white bottle with a spay top.
