Seadoo recommendations...

Hey guys,
I purcahsed set of Adobe .pdf's from a site hoping my boat would be covered, luckily I the 03 and 04 models are pretty much identical and mine was included.

In one of the supplemental .pdf's it came with was a section on cleaning the vinyl. Here is what Seadoo recommends. This is for their jet boats but I'm sure fits for the PWC's too.

Vinyl Cleaning Recommendations
For general purpose cleaning, use Vinyl Finish Vinyl Cleaner, Fantastik, or warm water with a mild dish soap such as Dawn or Ivory. Gently scrub with a small, soft bristle brush. For dirt build-up, use Vinyl Finish Vinyl Cleaner or equivalent. Let soak for approximately 10 minutes, then gently scrub with a soft bristle brush. For specific stain removal, refer to your cleaning and care card. Do not use 409 (the bottle states not to use on vinyl), kerosene, gasoline,or acetone. They will remove the protective marine top coat.
Do not use any silicone-based protectants. They will extract the plasticizers, leaving the vinyl hard and brittle, and eventually cracking will occur.
