Rust stains on white vinyl

Does anyone have an idea as to how you would remove rust stains from white vinyl seats? We bought a boat and I has a few stains on the back cover. Before I try to get them out or possibly set them in I thought I'd ask around. It looks like someone left some tools on it.

Tried Mr. Clean Magic Eraser? If you use it, be sure to use a UV protectant afterwards.

I have the same thing. I have a small rust ring on my vinyl, i just went outside and tried the magic eraser, it made the vinyl look great but the ring remains.. The rust stain remained but that eraser made my interior look almost brand new again.

Don't know what to tell you if M.E. won't take it off. Probably looking at replacement.

I've seen it take off one tree sap stain and then not take off another. It won't hurt your stuff even if it doesn't take the sap off. Remember, though, UV protectant afterward.
