Interior gelcoat surfaces should be cleaned periodically with non-­‐abrasive cleansers and smooth
areas should be waxed. Formica should be cleaned with non-­‐abrasive cleaners.
Wood
On unfinished teak, scrub off the gray weathered look and dirt with water and a stiff scrub brush,
then apply one of the many available teak cleaners.
On oiled surfaces, additional coats can be easily applied with a foam brush or sponge. For an
even finish the oil should be rubbed with a rag shortly after application.
On varnished surfaces, consult your dealer or a professional as to the best procedures. It takes
great care, time, and patience to do the job correctly.
Bilges
Bilges are painted with air-­‐dry gelcoat to prevent water permeation and accumulation of mildew.
They should be washed regularly with strong solvents to keep them smelling clean and to
prevent the fouling of bilge pumps.
