<< I have used Acetone, and lacquer thinner in the past, but as Judy
mentions
they seem to remove a thin layer of the weathered vinyl, and also seemed
to discolor again rather soon, and the fumes from the more volatile
solvents
seem to get to me a little more than I like.. I liked the apparent
water solubility
and absence of fumes from the West Marine stuff. >>
Check whats in the West Marine Stuff. What is it?
If you must scrub to remove gook you also take a part of vynil off. Scrubbing
is like sanding.
Only way to retain color is to wax and keep out of rain. Rain has acids and
black oil that attach to it again as it flows overit.
