The babe's works good.

X2 on the babes, i also use a magic eraser on spots that wont come off with the cleaner like fly crap, some people think that the erasers are too abrasive but you just have to be careful.

Use 303 Aerospace Protectant for UV protection

I personally am not a big fan of the Babe's seat soap but I do like the conditioner. I love the boat bright though.

Thanks for quick response

Thanks for the quick responses. I am a new Tige owner and it is great to have other owners who are so helpful. Thanks again!!!! I have taken advice and orderered both exqusite and Babe's products.

303 works well to help keep the tower from oxidizing in the salty Florida air as well. What boat did you get and where will you be using it? If you get a real stubborn stain I've used liquid comet spray gel with great results. I don't see any seam or thread problems with it either. I only leave it for a few minutes then rinse the area thoroughly.

303 is great to protect the vinyl also. Babes cleaner is just ok IMO. I found mild soap and water to work great with a little bit of magic eraser on the darn frost panels which are dirt magnets After trips we wash down and the apply 303 and it looks good. When boat is on water for a week I have a Maurice Leonel Cookie bucket and Dawn with a clean rag or so. When we come in for a bit or at the sand bar I wash the seats and rinse with lake water from Bullshoals as an example. Not only do I keep seats clean, I get to test the bilge this way I only wash this way when on a clear water lake in northern WI or the Southern Ozarks.

I've personally had good results with both Babe's products. On tough spots, i use the vinyl cleaner and a soft fingernail brush. That said, i recently had a few spots that i couldn't get out, so I'm going to try the Exqusite cleaner to see if it works better on these spots. I wipe down all my vinyl after every outing, which helps prevent the build up...so for maintenance, the Babes works good for me.

clean with fantastik and scrub brush and then use 303 for protection

Isn't Fantastic roughon the thread? I seem to recall it not being reccomended due to seams and thread. I could be wrong
