Can cracked vinyl be fully restored?

No -- a UV protectant conditioner can slow further cracking and improve surface appearance, but it can't reverse structural cracking that's already happened. Heavily cracked vinyl is a replacement, not restoration, conversation.

Can a pressure washer be used to clean boat canvas?

It's not recommended -- pressure washing can force water through canvas stitching and seams. A dedicated canvas cleaner and a soft-bristle brush is the safer standard approach.

How often should vinyl and canvas UV protectant be reapplied?

Roughly every 60-90 days for boats in regular sun exposure, though outdoor storage year-round may call for more frequent reapplication.
