Messed up my vinyl deck!

[p4gilbert]

Man, I really screwed up cleaning my pontoon's vinyl deck last weekend! Figured the fastest way would be to hit it with my pressure washer's turbo nozzle, the same one I use on the concrete driveway. Total rookie mistake. Now the deck looks all scuffed and hazy. Is there anything out there that can actually fix this vinyl, or am I stuck just trying to hide the damage? Open to all insights and suggestions!

Yeah I get what you mean, easy mistake to make! You might be able to reduce the haze and scuffs with a gentle cleaner and some elbow grease, look for something made for PVC or marine vinyl. A. protectant can help mask the damage and bring back some shine tooa. Just aoid anything too abrasive so you don't make it worse.

That's a tough break!
Honestly, a fix in the sense of making it look brand new again might be a stretch, but you can definitely make it look a whole lot better and hide that damage.
You can start by cleaning it properly with a soft brush and a dedicated vinyl cleaner to get any remaining haze or residue off, like @Reasonable-Screen83 suggested.
After that, your best bet is a good quality vinyl protectant or restorer.
Check out brands like 303 Aerospace Protectant or even some of the specific marine vinyl conditioners.
They won't magically erase the scuffs, but they'll often restore some of the luster and color, making the hazing a lot less noticeable.
Think of it less as a repair and more as a restoration and protection job.
All the best!
