FYI...I have used Clorox Clean Up on my mildewed vinyl before...but I have a friend that has used diluted bleach on his interior since his boat was new (1996) and his white vinyl is YELLOW. It has cured me from using it.
Someone in another thread mentioned using denture whitening tablets disolved in water.
Good luck

12 years of using it will do that. I would not use it on a regular basis or as my main vinyl cleaner. I use it as needed in extreme circumstances and use 303 after.

After you get it clean, Whats a good conditioner to use? Doug[/QUOTE]
Hey Doug,
Please try my Conditioner when you get a chance. I think there's a few threads here and I know some good before and after shots in the Leverage Photo thread.
Here's a link to a vinyl thread with pics.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Lot's of good suggestions here. Will work on it tonight and post my results. Leaning towards Mineral Spirits or shaving cream. Can I use a magic eraser with these?
Have always used 303 in the past but may be time to try some Leverage.
Thanks all

Yeah, I used Leverage to clean all the vinyl and protect it. I still have little stains that look like mildew. I don't know what to do. It actually looks like I have more stains after I cleaned the sunpad. I'm wondering if the stains were covered up with something and when I used the cleaner it took off the cover up?
