I have an Achilles white hypalon and have tried everything I can get my hands on. Spray 9 does the best out of any of the cleaners. MAS Expoxy's bio acetone substitute also does very well. Just make sure you wash off the residue or it will leave a sticky feeling to it. In spite of scrubbing and using all sorts of harsh chemicals on it there still remains countless spots and stains that refuse to come out. I've had the dealer tell me it's mildew but none of the common products will touch it. Sometimes a spot will come completely clean but I've not been able to duplicate a process that will work overall. I'm at the point that I feel the ugliness, which doesn't impact performance, may just serve as a theft deterant. Can't imagine anyone stealing it when there are so many nice looking alternatives out there. I'll never get white again.

Really guys , I haven't found anything that equals carpet cleaner for an all purpose cleaner. It will take soap scum off ceramic wall tile, remove the grime from a bath tub or shower base, cleans whatever I track into the house on my shoes. Sometimes when I carry a fresh turkey from the downstairs refrigerator up to the kitchen it drips bloody water on the carpet and I don't see it for a few days. This stuff will remove all traces of it. We had a plague of little black ants in the house a couple of years ago and I found the stove looking furry. There were thousands of the creatures on the spots we hadn't cleaned well. I didn't want to spray poisons so I used the spray bottle of carpet cleaner and had instant kill on the whole colony.
A friend of mine, who's a big boater, told me about this stuff called X-14 - it's a mildew remover. It's not easy to find, but you can get it on the internet. I was having a real problem with mold on my fiberglass, tried many products. Then I heard about the X-14. You spray this stuff on, wait a few minutes, and rinse it off. I tried it, and I was truly impressed. My boat hasn't looked that good since I got it. It does have bleach in it, plus other stuff, but it is not caustic like some heavy duty boat cleaners. It's made by the WD-40 Company.
Thanks for the help guy's, sounds like I have some work to do. It will have to wait though, winds s at 15-20. Man must have priorities!
Try Softscrub Total Kitchen
My grey hypalon Avon dingy was really dirty. Used this new to me softscrub with a brush, rinsed off and looks like new! I don't know how it would do on white, but it worked well on the grey. I have a white strip on the rub rail and it got it pretty clean.
