So I purchased these red dock lines from BAYLINER.com and they stained my light gray vinyl with countless orange spots. Does anybody have any suggestions. Tried soft scrub, amodex, wesleys bleach white, magic eraser, scrubbing bubbles with bleach, mothers vinyl cleaner, mineral spirits, brushes, steel wool. All to no avail. Should I go after the manufacturer? Through my insurance agent? Will I get anywhere that way? Thanks for any help again!

How about some light gray dye?

with colored lines, before using them...

soak them in a bucket of HOT water with a little laundry detergent them rinse well and let dry in the sun.

wet them with fresh water and rub them on a light colored towel to see if they're still bleeding, if the are, repeat the soak, rinse and dry.

btw.

red pigments are the worst for bleeding and staining and also the most unstable in respect to fading.
