Holly 36 #1 Posted December 12, 2018 Here are pictures of the 312-8 I got for $200 one owner 580 hours. This was after I cleaned it today. Thanks to the guys that gave me info the last few posts.

oliver2-44 9,898 #15 Posted December 13, 2018 Wow, you did a great detail job and that cleaned up like new. You really did steal it. I've used the 3M Vinyl Repair Kit with good results repairing cracked boat seats with very good results. I have a WH seat I'm about to use it on. Then I want to give the WH seat a couple of soaking with a vinyl rubber conditioner to see if it will soften up a little. https://www.walmart.com/ip/3M-Leather-and-Vinyl-Repair-Kit/19864141?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=0&adid=22222222227026962132&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=43324409072&wl4=pla-82772174912&wl5=9004042&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=8175035&wl11=online&wl12=19864141&wl13=&veh=sem&gclid=CjwKCAiAo8jgBRAVEiwAJUXKqHip7gnlswQzyrj7QswhABCs0P5s5qGlCaLDJcoI6ozBrcFXvuLQzxoC_vIQAvD_BwE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sarge 3,464 #16 Posted December 14, 2018 If you want to prevent vinyl from cracking - use Aerospace 303. It can be a little tough to find, but some automotive parts stores are starting to carry it. Not slick, doesn't attract dirt, no build up and it has some excellent UV protection. Works on all that black plastic stuff too. This stuff is made for aircraft and marine use and has been around a long time - those markets don't accept failures, believe me. I've used it for years on vinyl inside/outside, rubber stripping, tires and black or colored external trim on cars - nothing will fade or crack if it is treated twice a year and even in Illinois it works, which really says something. On plastic/black parts - it will bring back the color, but not attract dust or dirt and is not sticky whatsoever, which is uncommon in most coatings. Hate to sound like a commercial, but this stuff is one of those rare things that actually does what it says it will do on the bottle, love it. Ranks right up next to Sil-Glyde for rubber and Permatex Anti-sieze compound. Sarge 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
