Hey guys, I just wanted to alert you all to a tire black-vinyl treatment this is pretty darned good! I have no affiliation with Yamaha whatsoever, I actually stumbled across the product to use on my boat's vinyl. I gave it a shot on my tires and was very surprised. It makes them a deep black, without the great oily look, and it lasts! I just heard that it may be discontinued. Maybe if you guys give it shot, and like it. They will reconsider.

First thing that comes to mind is why would they discontinue if it's that good?

Knowing Yamaha like I do (30+ years in the marine industry), I'm sure it is a good product.

But like everything else they sell, it is most likely 1 1/2 times the price of other similar products.

I'd gladly pay extra for a Yamaha outboard. They just do not fail. But for vinyl cleaner? Yama-Nope. ;)

I wonder if it's a repackaged product. Duragloss 253?

I don't even think they marketed it for boat use. I became aware of it through a motorcycle ad! I bought it for my boat (knowing the quality of Yamaha products) and gave it a shot. I was impressed. In fact, since I heard it may be discontinued, I just ordered 2 more bottles.

It’s a 4 stroke v6 Yamaha SHO, I have one on my bass boat and it’s a reliable beast

Yamaha has been on the top of the outboard engine market for decades.

And it's not just a "Japanese" thing. Honda outboards are plagued with problems.
