What's best cleaner to use on seats
 
These are actually golf cart seats I need to do some cleaning on 70 golf carts and I needing to find a good cleaner? It's a very soft vinyl/leather cover. They are kind of off white seats and they are kind of dingy. Any Help is appreciated? Thanks

typically on vinyl you can get away with a diluted degreaser/all purpose cleaner and a medium stiff brush to remove any dirt/grime.

after they're cleaned a water based vinyl dressing would be the way to go. I work for a chemical manufacture and can help you out, but lets keep that offline as I don't want to violate vendor policies here.

I've acutally setup more than a few golf courses with a program using our APC and Vinyl product just for keeping their carts nice for members. You can shoot me an email if you want and I'll give you some pointers.

Again - if this is beyond the site rules or stepping on any toes mods - please let me know.

I use warm water and liquid dish detergent with pretty good results.

Randy,
I don't know the long term effects of this but I have used "bleach white" tire cleaner in a lot of things to clean them off then wiped em clean with soap and water. Id try it somewhere unnoticeable first.
I also used Mr. Clean sponges on my boat seats and it worked good for some mildew I "found" around the edges of the seat last year. Same thing though wipe it again with soap and water.

Thanks guys for input, I've tried leather/vinyl cleaner. I've tried simple green. I've tried soap and water. I even used a pressure washer on them too. They still have some grime on them. Bleach white my be an idea. I'll keep trying stuff I guess. I may have to order some stuff from Dylan. Thanks Randy

Tilex works good, let it set for a few minutes but don't let it dry, rinse well

Bleche Wite will have them looking brand new. These tires were never cleaned since new. No scrubbing, just spray. I also use it on my Caddy's white top.
