+1! Buy a gallon of the hot sauce and get a spray bottle for it. Spray it on and wipe the boat down every time you pull it out of the water and you will be good to go. You get addicted to the smell of it too, kind of like Red Bull or Monster or something. Congrats on the new boat!

Definitely order this stuff by the gallon! It's a life saver on your evening boat clean up!

Up & Up unscented baby wipes from Target is what I use on the interior. You can get like 800 of them for $15. I think you can get a single 200 for something like $2.50. I keep a pack in the boat, one in the truck, one in the car, a couple in the camper, basically everywhere. They're dirt cheap and work like a dream. No oily residue, no overspray, no bottles. They keep the vinyl soft and supple as a baby's butt. FWIW, I used to use the Meguires 57 until I found baby wipes. I've never looked back.

For the inside: 409 and follow it up with some 303.


All jokes aside, it works.

I think the 409 used to be recommended, but then had a formula change that slowly harms the stitching. Iirc, the bottle even says so in the small print.

A fine brush and any cleaner works best on the vinyl. I like Malco vinyl and leather cleaner with the 303 to follow it up.
