Cleaning a boat with Vinyl wrap

I have a Dufour 560 with It’s hull wrapped in white vinyl. From 9 months of no use from Covid etc, the hull is stained with dirt and teak bleeding from decks in rain etc. What is the best product to safely clean the vinyl without damaging it? Are there any generic chemical I can find in Europe or Turkey to avoid transportation chemicals from US? Yes, I know for you purists “who the heck would wrap a five year of Dufour ?” Long sad story and I promise to strip it and give it a new Algrip paint job if I can find a good yard in Turkey. Thanks

Re: Cleaning a boat with Vinyl wrap

I would suggest PVC cleaner. We use Serge Ferrari 500 on our vinyl batteline shades (as that was what was recommended) but probably other PVC cleaners are as good. Alternatively, a fender/RIB cleaner would almost certainly do the job (maybe as I think about even better).

I love the idea of vinyl wrapping a yacht. As for your question, I’d look up the specs from 3M or whichever product you used.

Blue Crew.
My boat is stuck in France for the moment - hoping to get it hauled for the winter and was looking into a Vinyl protection wrap for winter. So far neither the factory, the yard or a google search has found anyone to wrap a 51' Cat. Do you have a contact?
Thanks
