Tired brittle PVC Cratch cover

[Hartlebury lad]

Morning all!

 

The cratch cover on the boat is now getting rather tired.

 

I wash it two or three times a year, and recently had the zips upgraded/repaired and a few new studs. The main Dark Green (PVC tarp?) body of it is very tired now though, starting to become slightly opaque in parts, and quite stiff and not very pliable.

 

I don't fancy forking out for a replacement yet. Anyone got any wonder products or old wives tales to recommend for it, and slow down the inevitable?

A boater told me that he used this on his PVC covers to them supple.

Cheers Joe.

I have actually just bought this for my van. It is actually a white cream, and seems to have similar properties, and does a great job.  I may do a small test area on the cratch cover.  If no joy, will try the Autoglym product.
