Does that sound right?


We have a new product just for clear plastic windows called,

Marine 31 Clear Vinyl Restorer & Protectant


It can be applied by hand or machine but best results come from machine application especially if you clear vinyl windows are trashed.

While we do carry a brush that fits onto the Flex 3401 I don't remember ever showing it on Ship Shape TV to clean vinyl seats?

We also carry brushes that fit both the Porter Cable 7424XP and the Cyclo dual head polisher and I do use the soft flagged gray brushes on these two tools to clean vinyl.
