Removing rust stains from vinyl is near impossible! The reason is the stain is absorbed into the vinyl itself and you are trying to clean the surface leaving the rust stain that has penetrated into the surface. The best way to fix this is to dye the vinyl back to its original color. If you want it perfect, hire a vinyl repair company to do it for you. In most cases they can dye it and you will never be able to tell it was ever stained. If you feel up to the challenge, you can purchase a vinyl repair kit which will contain dyes. In South Florida we have a company called Doctor Vinyl and I have seen them dye entire seats making them look brand new!

Good Luck!
