Not infrequently this is a deterioration of the vinyl itself rather than anything on the vinyl. The surface looses the oils in the plastic and becomes sticky. Over time you may be able to rejuvenate it with a vinyl restoration product like those found at big box stores and auto paint stores. The auto store spray cleaners do little to correct the underlying root cause. If you can get the sticky ness to abate then the surface will begin to clear up. I would not use the harsh cleaners listed as they may do more harm than good.

I have a seat here with a rough vinyl surface that I cannot figure out how
to clean.
I went through the following steps and nothing seems to remove the unknown
staining that looks like a combination of mold/mildew and general dirt to
me.
1) Dish detergent and small brush...nope
2) Spray 9, an other wise excellent vinyl cleaner...nope
3) Comet with a toothbrush in a small area...nope
4) Resolve...generally an excellent carpet cleaner...nope
5) Javex/Clorex..on a small area...didn't make any difference

ANY suggestion would be appreciated
