    magic eraser. I use walmarts version of the eraser. Works great.
    If it doesnt have wheels, swim, or run naked in the woods, I don\'t know anything about it.

    Re: mildew on seat (blackram)

    A good friend of mine who does upholstery for a living uses nothing but Murphy's Oil Soap. Here is how he explained to use it.....2 oz's of Oil Soap in the bottom of bucket, add half gallon of warm water, and ONLY use the suds on top of water with a soft bristle brush of rag to clean....

    Just wipe clean with a wet rag and he states that you will never jeopardize drying out the material and ruin the stitching.....worked very well for me !!!!

    Hope this helps

    Very bad on vinyl seats, shortens the life of them and really bad on stitching so I concur with C@TCH

    Magic eraser, is abrasive and will take the sheen of the vinyl.

    Try scrubbing bubbles bathroom cleaner works like a charm, even if your seats look clean spray some SB on them and wipe off your rag will be black, then when done cleaning use some lemon pledge to shine them up make sure it's lemon

    The Seat Covering guy told me Low Oder Mineral Spirits and then 300 Protectant. Never used it but would like to try it? Does this sound right?
