Clear Vinyl Care
•

Before stowing, the clear vinyl must be completely dry. Air-drying is best, but you can also carefully dry the vinyl
with a chamois or soft cotton cloth.
•
The clear vinyl can
be rolled or laid out
flat for stowage.
•
Never fold or crease
the clear vinyl parts
as cracking will
occur.
Cleaning Clear
Vinyl
Regularly clean the
clear vinyl to prevent
dirt, pollen, and etc.
from marring the sur-
face. Generally, it is
easiest to clean the
clear vinyl while it is
installed on your boat.
1. Hose down the
clear vinyl with
freshwater.
2. Using a soft cot-
ton cloth (paper
towels are abra-
sive and should
never be used on
clear vinyl) , gen-
tly wash the clear
vinyl with soap
and water.
3. Rinse thoroughly to remove the soap.
4.
Before stowing, the clear vinyl must be completely dry. Air-drying is best, but you can also carefully dry the
vinyl with a chamois or soft cotton cloth.
•
Ask your dealer about products available to keep the clear vinyl polished and looking new.
•
NEVER store the clear vinyl pieces wet, as this will cause a milky film to develop.
•
NEVER fold or crease the clear vinyl pieces as cracking will occur.
•
Clear vinyl is NOT intended for use when your boat is in storage or being moored.
•
Clear vinyl does NOT hold up well against ultraviolet rays.

Under direct sunlight conditions, do NOT let the clear vinyl touch the framework. The
framework radiates heat and can burn the clear vinyl.
