How to Clean Boat Cover?

**explorerlyon** · 05-05-2013, 03:15 PM

I am looking for tips on how to clean my boat cover (sunbrella fabric). The pic below is not mine, but you get the idea. With the boat sitting all winter in a covered storage tent, there is a lot of dust and dirt that accumulates on the cover.

Should I clean the cover on the boat? Remove it and lay it out on the driveway?

How do you clean your boat covers?

I have always cleaned them on the boat with 303 vinyl and fabric cleaner and a long handle scrub brush. Let it dry completely then 303 fabric guard. I never let it get that dirty so it's usually a quick process

303 is a good choice, I would also consider Ragg Top if its cloth

Check out there website for care and cleaning. They also have a stain chart, and how to remove them everything from wine to bird poop to lipstick. You can use bleach and acetone for some stains.

Amazing Roll Off.

Amazing roll off is great, but from what I have read on autogeek is it leaves some sort of layer even after you rinse. If your going to use 303 Fabric guard you have to use a cleaner that rinses with no residue. Someone with some more experience with amazing roll off can chime in on the technicalities of it.
