Q - 1 HIGH-PRESSURE LAMINATE CARE
Many interior counter tops, table tops, head door, closet
door and drawer fronts consist of a high pressure lami-
nate, “formica” like material. The formica has a “matte
texture” finish and can be cleaned with hand dish wash-
ing soap and water or other cleaning solutions such as
Fantastik™. Always read the label before using any prod-
uct.
NOTICE
DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or solvents on
formica. DO NOT use Soft Scrub™ soap or simi-
lar cleaning products; they will scratch the sur-
face and remove the shine.
Q - 2 CHERRY
Four Winns utilizes cherry trim for Vista® model interi-
ors. The wood is prepared with a light stain followed by a
polyurethane finish. To clean, a damp cloth will usually
suffice. Care should be similar for cherry as it is for fine,
household furniture.
Q - 3 STAR BOARD™
Star board is a high density polyethylene (plastic) and is
very durable and fade resistant. Star board requires little
maintenance, and is being used in place of wood in many
areas of the boat. It is currently being used for trim, step
pads, hand rails, and seat supports.
To clean star board, use a solvent-free, nonabrasive cleaner
such as hand dish washing soap or Fantastic™. Read
the label before using any cleaning product.
NOTICE
Star board will stain when exposed to certain oils
or chemicals. Always wipe up any spills immedi-
ately.
WOODWORK AND COMPOSITES
Q - 4 SYNTHETIC CHERRY
A synthetic-type of cherry is used in the dash panels
and switch panels. This provides the rich look of cherry
without the maintenance. To clean, a damp cloth will
usually suffice.
Q - 5 “ALEXANDER” CABIN GALLEY COUNTERTOP
The 298/328 countertop for your cabin galley is made of
laminated fiberglass with an exterior skin of “Alexander”
grain coat gel. This makes for an extremely strong yet
light weight countertop. The grain coat gives the ap-
pearance of “granite” and is both temperature and stain
resistant. It can be cleaned with hand dish washing soap
and water or other cleaning solutions such as Fantastik™.
Always read the label before using any product. Please
read the notices below.
NOTICE
DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or solvents on
countertop. DO NOT use Soft Scrub™ soap or
similar cleaning products; they will scratch the
surface and remove the shine.
NOTICE
DO NOT set hot pans or dishes directly on the
countertop. The countertop may become burnt
and/or discolored. Use of a hot pad will prevent
any discoloration from occurring.
NOTICE
DO NOT use countertop as a cutting board. The
knife will leave gouges/marks in the surface of
the countertop. A cutting board that fits over
the sink is provided.
Q - 6 “AVIAN” COCKPIT GALLEY COUNTERTOP
The 328 Vista® cockpit galley countertop consist of
“Avian”, which is an acrylic type material. The “Avian”
gives the 328 a rich look and makes for an extremely
strong yet light weight countertop. It can be cleaned
with hand dish washing soap and water, or other cleaning
solutions such as Fantastik™. Always read the label
before using any product.
