What do you clean your rubber dingy with?

I have found no magic bullet. I use the following:
LA's Totally Awesome All Purpose Concentrated Cleaner (Family Dollar Store)
Amazon Inflatable Boat Cleaner
Spray Nine (Marine or Landlubber version)
I use a scrubby pad with a handle (from Wal-Mart) and try any of the above cleaners on various stains.
DO NOT use acetone. Lacquer Thinner is OK but I only use it on really tough stains.
Use lots of elbow grease. I spend 4-5 hours on my 9'3" Achilles.

Wow 4-5 hrs a season I hope. I have just about all those things, I'll go at it I guess. Is it normal for the white residue or is something happening?
Read "cleaning fenders with brush cleaner" as this subject is covered there. Its just down below here. Chief
Just use this stuff - it actually works as advertised. Then use the conditioner to restore UV resistance and plasticizers.

I have used this Aurora Marine product and it does work well. However, it is near impossible to find on any local shelf, and I refuse to pay the extremely high price for mail order plus shipping. Everybody has their limits, and this pricing is way beyond mine. YMMV.
