So I have a couple of questions.

1) what do y'all suggest for cleaning the vinyl on my 2006 Launch? It seems to have collected a little bit of mildew during the repairs, as well as a couple of oil spots over the years.

2) I have some strange green stuff on my floor panels. It showed up about a week after using the boat on a random weekend this summer. I hosed the floor down, but had to put the cockpit cover on (it has a plastic vent on it) before it had totally dried. The panels have been dry and sitting in the garage for 3 months now, and the green stuff is still there. It doesn't smell, or rub off on to my hands. I have no idea what it is, and I'm not sure how to get rid of it. Any suggestions?

Sounds like mold/mildew. It can be tricky to get out because certain strains will act certain ways to certain things but generally what works well for me is using vinegar. Use distilled vinegar, mix approximately 1:1 with water, spray on liberally and leave for an hour or two then clean it. Bass boat forums have pretty good advice for cleaning boat carpets (since bass boats probably get the dirtiest). But if you just want to kill the mold then just spray on the vinegar, let it sit, and hose it down with water.

Subd. I used to use exquisite vinyl and carpet cleaner but since they went out of buisness, and I'm om my last bottle, I need something good. This stuff was the best and finding a equal working replacement will be tough
