You can’t. Best way to clean the non-slip is a scrubbing brush.

If you watch Drakes Detailing on YouTube he buffs the non-slip with the edge of a wool pad. Then seals it with a sealant.

Yup - as Dino says wool pad on a big polisher - not random orbital. I use a Makita
The idea is to polish around the grip grains. So up and down the surface first, then left to right, then diagonally. Using the edge concentrates the effort. Don't forget to seal the surface to prevent further chalking etc.
I get my wool pads from Makita Wool Bonnet 180mm
Any other polishing foams(Lake Country) I get from www.in2detailing.co.uk
Both firms have been great.

Lake Country do an excellent grey foam pad for the DA polisher. It’s a heavy cut pad but seems to work really well on oxidised gelcoat.

Having a boat named "Sea Start", do you often get asked to fix other boats that have broken down?

It will help stop the glass mat weave showing through the wafer thin gel coat……good plan

You need a boat to stop you posting shit.

You are not wrong there!
I'm not sure boat ownership improved the quality of Roy's posts tbh.

Dino thanks for the link to Drakes Detailing. I watched their video on cleaning vinyl seats and had a go over the weekend. Looking at them I didn't think mine were that dirty but boy was I surprised. Instead of Purple Power I used his other suggestion of Simple Green. Having spoken to the retailer he recommended to use the Simple Green Crystal. Used a 1:10 ratio and the results were brilliant. Followed by the 303 aerospace to seal and protect.
