lead pencil on vinyl

[Lynn]

Hi Everyone,
I have a problem that I hope someone can help with.
A client supplied a full set of replacement covers for his Correctcraft speedboat. He got the covers on a warranty claim twelve years ago (yes I did say twelve years!) and they have been sitting in a tote ever since.  Problem is the light grey vinyl was marked out using a regular lead pencil and now everywhere that it has touched over the years has left dirty marks. I have some really good vinyl cleaners and they aren't working. I tried varsol but that only works on oil, grease or glue marks. Of course the biggest piece in the boat - the doghouse- is the worse!
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks
Lynn

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. I've had lots of luck with it. Worth a try anyway.

A dab of silicone spray on a rag and wipe off.

I've heard lot's of positive comments on that.  I've got to get some and try it.

How did the MCME do with the finish? I've tried them a couple times on seating and it has scrubbed the coating off the vinyl and left a dull spot.

I couldn't see any visible difference on the vinyl, but it was a matt finish, I guess it might make a difference on glossy finish vinyls.

ive also heard you dont want to use it regulaly on your vinyl as it will ruin it over time. majik eraser that is.
