The acrylic sheet, which forms the surface of your
bathtub, provides one of the most durable surfaces found
in modern bathrooms. Keep it bright and smooth with mild
liquid household detergent, soap and water, or foaming
cleansers. NEVER USE aromatic solvents, abrasive
cleaners, scouring compounds or pads, strong liquid
cleansers, or other material that could damage or dull the
surface of the shower.
Restoring Surface Gloss
- Restore surface gloss by
applying a very fine rubbing compound and polishing the
surface by hand or with a power buffer. Finish with an
application of a good quality automotive wax.
Minor Repairs to Surface
- Remove minor scratches
and scuffs as follows. First, wet sand the area with 600 grit
wet sandpaper until the surface is smooth. Then, restore
the gloss as described under
RESTORING SURFACE
GLOSS.
Fasten the acrylic unit to the framing using drywall
