The very best stuff to use is 3m Citrus cleaner with scotch anti abrasive pads and a j cloth. then use 3m vinyl gel conditioner to protect them. maybe not as good as new but i can guarantee the closest to it.
I have tried the 3m stuff and it is good, although I have descovered something better: Starbright Inflatable Boat and Fender Cleaner. It smells like detol and looks like cream cleaner. You apply it like a polish; small amount on a pan scourer which you rub in. Really gets the dirt off, and leaves the tubes looking really good; acts like a polish too - leaves the the colour really deep and not "dry" as you sometimes get.
Only downside is it's not cheap at £11 per 450ml bottle. You'd only need one bottle on that size of boat.
Half way own the page. Seems I was done; I paid £11 they charge £7.50, plus about £5 for delivery if I recall. You might find it down at your local chandlery....
As Ribshop is suggesting, I bought some Rib Revive from Steph last season and it works fantastically. It's also really easy to use. Boat looks like new.
