If you have used Dr. Vinyl to repair damaged uphol-
stery, do not use the following cleaners on the re-
paired area as they will damage it.
• Denatured alcohol
• 3M Citrus Cleaner
• Ammonia and hydrogen peroxide
To care for the exterior vinyl on your boat, refer to the
cleaning recommendations in the following "Vinyl
Cleaning and Care" insert. The insert also contains
specific information on removing certain types of stains.
The treatment for additional types of stains is described
below.
Grease and Pencil Marks: Use a medium-soft brush
to apply either a solution of fresh water and Ivory Soap
or Fantastik Spray Cleaner.
Tough Stains, Adhesive, Teak Oil and Rust: Use
3M Citrus Cleaner; rinse with soap and water.
Avoid saturating the exterior cushions with water. To
enhance the appearance of the exterior cushions and
upholstery, occasionally treat them with an approved
vinyl protectant.
Rinse the bridge and deck carpet with fresh water when
cleaning the other portions of the boat's exterior. When
the exterior carpet becomes soiled, remove the carpet
from the boat and wash it with hot water and any brand
of carpet detergent suitable for hot water extraction. To
remove stains from the carpet, refer to the carpet OEM
information.
White Vinyl
White exterior enclosures are made from vinyl coated
materials. Clean the enclosures using a sponge dipped
in a solution of fresh water and mild soap. To remove
heavy dirt, use a vinyl cleaner. Treat the vinyl with a
vinyl protectant twice each season.
