[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 507708, member: 21536"] I haven't used what you are asking about, but if the Star Brite stuff says it doesn't play nice with polyester, then I would be a little leery. I know you are frustrated over this happening to your newer cover. In truth it is hard to blame the cover for this. No matter how good the cover is, gooey sap falling on it is going to make a mess. I suppose some slick vinyls might be easier to clean. But most breathable fabrics, no matter how good or expensive they are, are likely to have a similar issue. The good news is that goo is on the cover and not on the boat! The borax, vinegar, & water mix you mentioned in an earlier post seemed to have some good results. Maybe give it a scrub with that home brew. Fingers crossed. [/QUOTE]
