I just can't seem to regain the whiteness out of my upholstery . Soap is not doing the jobe and I'm reluctant to use something stronger .

Any Ideas ?

Magic Eraser worked for me last year. Just make sure you rinse after. Then get 303 aerospace protectant. The only product actually endorsed by the makers of the fabrics. Its like sun cream for vinyl/rubber. You can get it a Canadian Tire.

Also for your carpet you can get Fabric Guard. Only thing Sunbrella recommends for all their materials. They make most of all boat covers and bimini tops out there.

I haven't seen any 303 products at Canadian Tire in SW Ontario. Can you get them in Ottawa stores?

Cdn tire told me they discontinued the 3m product line. Really sucks because they priced it well and it was convenient. Probably have to goto marina now and they will charge and arm and a leg.

Try e-bay for 303 products. I just bought some. Freight makes it a little pricey, but couldn't find it locally.
Also, check out Corrosion X and Rejex for other maintenance potectives.
