 Yeah I'd keep bleach off the vynl. You could try any of the commercially available "Bug & Tar" removers. I use the 5 Star brand "Bug, Tar & Grime" remover and it works a treat, cheap as too.....

the super cheap bug and tar remover works as well, but dont scrub, just ease it off

I've used straight from the bottle the a standard canopy wash and a good scrub and hose off no bleaching or colour loss . like most cleaners it depends on the degree of soiling and how long it's been there.

I use the boat canopy wash available from BCF or any boat dealer
