Need to clean my icky boat. What to use?

[Shelle&Dave]

We just acquired a 17' boat. DFiance loves to fish and jumped at the chance to get it. I think it's ok, but boy is it dirty! It was left uncovered under a bunch of trees. The seats are mildewy, the carpet needs to be replaced and it's full of pine needles and leaves. I asked DF if we could just unhook the fish finder, take out everything that's not strapped down, cover the wiring and take the nasty thing to the car wash! He looked at me like I was nuts.

So anyway, the only thing I've found that kind of works on the vinyl seats is the Magic Eraser. DF was using some kind of Clorox cleaner w/o bleach on the outside and I guess it looks a little better.

I've read the threads about products people on this board use and their inventive ideas, so I'm hoping for some good advice. I have tomorrow off and hope to make some progress. What would you use to clean it inside and out?

A "For Sale" Sign would be my advice. It worked for me

Try to find a cleaner called KRC-7. I works great on almost all kinds of surfaces except for aluminun (like shower door tracks) and formica(It can discolor both). I worked at a plumbing supply house and we sold it there. It should be readily available at a plumbing supply-it works great on fiberglass tubs, tile,linoleum-juust about anything. If you can't find it or need more info-just PM me-I have a couple of bottles in my closet.
