Bought a used pontoon. Seats in perfect shape just stained. Marine 31 made them look like brand new. Only complaint I had was my dried out cracked working hands. burns. I suggest using gloves. Great product!!
Bleach is made from several different chemicals. Each company that makes bleach has their own formula. I believe the bleach smell in Marine 31 is from the primary ingredient used in making bleach. There's controversy on the effect bleach has on the threads. Many claim that bleach degrades the stitching over time. I sent an email to Marine 31 specifically asking about the bleach smell and chemical they use relating to the issues with the threads used sewing boat vinyl together. In their reply I was told that it was perfectly safe on the thread material when you follow the instructions on the label. I think the key is to flush the product thoroughly after it sits. I would strongly suggest using a vinyl conditioner immediately after the treated areas are completely dry. Marine 31 has been an amazing product for me. Not only does it work great on vinyl, but it also works great on non-skid surfaces and removing those black spot that seem to come out of nowhere on the gelcoat. It may even work in the bilge area.
I dont have water spots "yet" but if I did, it's obvious of what I'd use. . I'd clean the mildew up with the 31 and keep it clean with something easier to use.

Can't find the Marine 31 Mildew Remover anywhere. They either stopped making it or changed the product name.
It's on Amazon.
