- Streak-free & controlled: Fine foam for precise work without over-wetting; ideal on upholstery, trim and carpet zones in cabin and cockpit.
- Strong in the system: The perfect base for VinylGuard (vinyl care) and TexLock/CoverGuard (fabric protection) and it makes future cleans noticeably easier.
Vinyl/textile cleaner lift salt, lotion & everyday grime safely
A vinyl/textile cleaner like THE FINISHER VinylTexClean works with mild surfactants and controlled foam: residue gets bound into micelles while the surface stays cool and grippy. On marine vinyl you lift sunscreen film, sweat and salt haze without a greasy shine; on tough fabrics you pull stains without over-soaking the fibres. The product flashes off residue-free so the care and protection products that follow can grab evenly for a calm, clean cockpit look.
Using it on board dose, dwell, wipe clean
How to use it: Work in the shade with the surfaces cool. Put the product on a microfibre cloth, or for heavier soiling spray it sparingly onto the area, let it dwell briefly and work it with a soft brush or cloth. Wipe off straight away with a clean side of the cloth, go over it with a slightly damp fibre if needed and pull it dry. Avoid over-wetting so you don’t get streaks. Plastic windows (polycarbonate/acrylic) belong to SeaYou don’t clean those with this.
Finish & system prepping for care and protection
Finish & system: After cleaning, the surface stays grippy-clean, not greasy. Then condition the vinyl areas in the cockpit with VinylGuard for a rich, non-smeary look. Lock down heavily used fabric zones (seat surfaces, carpet runners, berth entry and exit) with TexLock or CoverGuard once fully dry. That cuts down re-soiling, and future washes go noticeably faster.
