I was using this product to prep a hull for boot-stripe paint. The stern of my boat has a 3" thick vinyl rub-rail which had 10+ years of stain and mold that had resisted all vinyl cleaners I had tried. While removing wax from the hull, the solvent accidentally touched the vinyl and, voila, cleaned it back to white where it touched! I used it to restore the whole piece of vinyl to like-new condition in just a few minutes, and it did not leave the vinyl sticky. An unexpected bonus from a good product.
