Cleaning Fenders/Buouys

Anyone ever had success cleaning up white fenders? I don't need them to sparkle, but they are kinda grimy looking. I tried Spray 9 and good old fashioned dish detergent but no success.

    You can use any citrus cleaner and they come out like new. I also found that if you wax them they stay cleaner and do not mark up the side of your boat.....

    Around here, most people try a few different cleaning products, then give up and buy fabric covers.  The covers look nice, and they reduce the amount of squeaking so you can sleep better when rafted up with other boats.

    I had white ones I was using to keep the swim platform from bumping the dock. They were half in the water and looked bad. I hit them with a little brake cleaner and a rag  because I didnt really care about them.  They came up beautiful! They were stained horribly.   After I sprayed a little 303 on them for protection.

    Oxyclean doesn’t do a bad job bringing them up.
