15.1 GENERAL POINTS
Alcohol, solvent or acetone-based solutions must not be used to clean/maintain the outer
surfaces of the boat. A warm, soapy, water-based solution is best for this purpose.
15.1.1 GRP
- Regularly brush the deck using a gentle de-greasing agent then rinse the deck with fresh
water.
- Use as few cleaning agents as possible.
- Don't use solvents or aggressive detergents.
- Don't dump cleaning agents into the water: Consult the harbourmaster's office to find out the
conditions of water use and the maintenance area for cleaning your vessel.
- Do not use a pressure washer.
15.1.2 Plexiglas (PMMA)
- Rinse plexiglas with fresh water.
- Use a polish paste for thin scratches.
- Consult your dealer if deep scratches occur.
15.1.3 Stainless steel
Stainless steel is an alloy of iron and carbon (steel) with the addition of chromium. The
chromium creates a protective film which insulates the steel from the surrounding environment.
This coating is usually invisible due to its thinness. Thus, despite its name, this steel is not
stainless and requires a minimal level of maintenance:
- Chromed tools are preferable whenever handling stainless steel;
- Re-nourish the protective film regularly with passivating paste.
ADVICE-RECOMMENDATION
Never use solvents, alcohol, acetone or detergents on plexiglass.
Passivating paste is an acid-based product whose purchase and/or use
may be subject to regulation.
Please contact your dealer.
