Wonder if you can still get "Decasol" used to use it on badly stained and grubby vinyl car seats and it worked wonders, also you need to watch out for any solvent type cleaners, they clean it really well but can remove some of the plasticisers and make the vinyl go brittle and crack more easily.

"Astonish".. its about £1 a tub in hardware stores. Says its oven cleaner.. but it also says its hand cleaner, so dont panic!
Maybe try on a test bit first, and only for the vinyl. We always used it with no downsides.

Starbrite Vinyl Cleaner is very good then follow up with Starbrite Vinyl Protector. I've used it for many years and my flybridge seating looks as good now as it did when I bought the boat 8 years ago. I also use it to clean the leather sofa.

Astonish is good also but does leaves a white deposit which has to be washed off many times and will leave white staining if used on carpeted side linings which I found to my cost!

A product called Magic Eraser, made by JML and available on line or in Woolworths/Asda etc. Absolutely amazing stuff, cut off a piece from the sponge block, dampen it, lightly wipe it over the vinyl, let the chemicals do their stuff, and wipe it off with a clean cloth. Like I said, amazing results with no effort.
