Default Cleaning Hypalon dinghy?

I agree with Ed - make a paste with Soft Scrub and a little water, apply
with a scrubbing brush and let dry in the sun for a couple of hours. Then go
over it with the brush and more water and rinse off as you go. I then spray
Aerospace protectant on after it dries.

Our brand new (well, two years old now...) dinghy is looking a little
dingy.

Does anyone have any suggestions for cleaning a hypalon dinghy? Will
bleach hurt the hypalon?

Note that cleaning materials that work on PVC (or decitrex) may harm
Hypalon and vice versa. I am interested in hypalon cleaners...

Also note that I have been specifically advised to avoid cleaners which
contain silicones (eg ArmorAll) to minimize problems with future patches
