I was looking for a good vinyl protector for my new hot tub cover. We don’t have it covered under the patio, so I didn’t want it to fade. This spray had great reviews, so I ordered it. It came super quick and well packaged. The scent smells almost tropical, which was a pleasant surprise. It was super easy to apply and dried quick! It’s exactly what I was looking for.

Easy to use, and can get multiple use on my spa cover…other products I have used only provide enough for two cover treatments at a higher price..

It’s definitely not “top of the line” but it also costs a a lot less than the top of the line stuff. As long as you properly maintain your things, this stuff should be plenty good. If you have some old, beat up stuff…I wouldn’t expect this to do that great of a job. But as long as you maintain you vinyl items properly, this will help protect and clean some light stains. I’m plenty happy with it, but then again, my stuff isn’t all beat up…

I used this vinyl protectant all over our 2012 GMC Acadia. It really made a difference on all plastic surfaces. It definitely restored the color as well as added a nice luster. The most noticeable is the back bumper where you see where half the bumper protectant was applied. I will update to determine how it holds up in the FL sun and heat. This protectant also added luster to or dinghy boat cushions. It’s not a cleaner and the pictures show those results. This protectant is good on vinyl, leather, plastic and rubber. It helps prevent fading and cracking. I feel it does look like it protects better than several other protectant I have purchased. Time will tell but right now the results look amazing. I’ll be bringing it to our big boat this weekend and will add more pictures. I have not used on carpet. It’s not for use on nonskid boat decks, brakes, or walking surfaces. The sprayer sprayed evenly on both settings. I used a microfiber rag and it applied easily. It smells like coconuts, I like it:). The smell eventually fades. I will update on how the product lasts. Seems priced a little high. Wish it was offered as a 2 pack with the cleaner.

My wife and I have been using our SUPs (stand up paddleboards) a lot this summer. Most everything involved with that hobby is either some form of vinyl or stainless steel, with a smattering of carbon fiber thrown in.SUPs involve the most area for cleaning and protecting. They get dirty from the lake, mud, grime, algae and moss from tying up to buoys, etc.PaddlesRopesDry bagsInflatablesLife jacketsPumps, components and various other partsAll the vinyl parts need UV protection and cleaning from time to time.This product can be used around the house and garage, including vehicle interiors, boats, jet skis and lots more.Since I just got it I haven’t had a chance to observe any long-term characteristics, but so far, it goes on easily (I shake it first) and the spray bottle is easy to hold and operate. I use very little product and sometimes just get my micro fiber towel damp and use that in a circular motion to deep clean and apply the protectant.It really cleans gunk off and adds a shine. I like it and recommend it and would buy it again.5 STARS!

As far as I can tell, the Vinyl Protectant by Better Boat works similarly to the original formula of Armor All, although unlike Armor All the label says this spray can be used on leather in addition to vinyl, plastic, and rubber. Simply spray the pleasant-smelling solution onto the target surface, spread evenly with a lint-free cloth, and allow to air dry. As also noted on the label, this solution is slippery and should not be applied to bicycle or motorcycle seats, non skid strips, gas or brake pedals, or other surfaces that are intended to be non-slip. In addition to slippery, the product makes surfaces very shiny, which does not match my personal preference although the shine can be reduced somewhat by buffing with a rough towel after the surface has dried. Although the listing title prominently says "Vinyl Protectant and Vinyl Cleaner," this product is really not a cleaner, and the manufacturer actually recommends using their separate Better Boat Vinyl Cleaner solution first. I used this spray on my riding mower's moderately soiled vinyl seat and saw virtually no difference in the amount of soiling before and after, although after using the Better Boat Vinyl Protectant the mower's vinyl seat was definitely more slippery and much more shiny. The label also claims that the product "restores color and softness to dull and dried out surfaces," but since we keep our cars garaged and keep our boat covered when not in use, we really didn't have any dull and dried out surfaces to try it on. Without conducting a long-term side-by-side test, we also cannot verify that the spray provides effective UV protection. However, we do like that the product is Made in USA by a family-owned company according to the label and the manufacturer's web site. As is the case for many products intended for boats, this one is fairly expensive, so we will probably only use it on our boat upholstery once or twice a season.

This Boat Vinyl Protectant and Vinyl Cleaner for Boat Seats Restorer didn’t work for me. My helm cushion was stained with mildew and this did nothing to remove the stains. It works to remove dirt, but any soap will do that just fine. As for UV protection and restoration, that’s a difficult claim to confirm because it would take a side by side study over several years comparing boat cushions with and without regular use of this product. I can say it cleans dirt, but does not remove stains. There’s no way to confirm UV protection.If you’re looking for stain removal, this product will not help.
