Clear Vinyl Care
•
After each use, especially in saltwater, rinse the clear vinyl with cold freshwater.
•
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, pol-
len, and etc. from marring
the surface. Generally, it is
easiest to clean the clear
vinyl while it is installed on
your yacht.
1. Hose down the clear
vinyl with freshwater.
2. Using a soft cotton
cloth (paper towels
are abrasive and
should never be used
on clear vinyl), gently
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 yacht 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.
