Can I restore or recolor boat upholstery?

Rub ‘n Restore® is an anti-UV coating that conditions, recolors and protects marine vinyl and boat upholstery. Think of it like pigmented Aerospace 303® on steroids. It’s easily applied with a sponge and can conceal mold, mildew, leaf and chemical stains. This video review from a customer demonstrates:

Because Rub ‘n Restore® is a water-based product, sealing with Clear Prep+Finish™ is recommended, and the new finish must thoroughly cure before exposure to water or wet towels, bathing suits, bodies, etc. Please read about cure time. If prematurely exposed to water, the worst that will happen is a slight spot or discoloration of the area. It may disappear as it dries. If it doesn’t, simply touch-up that spot and allow sufficient time to cure.

Marine vinyls may need to be touched up more often because of their frequent interaction with water and chemicals found in most sunscreens. For this reason, dramatic color changes are discouraged.
