WINDSHIELD (IF EQUIPPED)
In cleaning tempered glass windshields, the normal glass cleaners (from spray bottles or aerosol cans) work best. While the
glass is very strong, it can be scratched if anything abrasive is used. Harsh chemicals or solvents should be avoided because
they may affect the vinyl gaskets, anodized or powder-coated finish on the extrusions.
SEADEK MAINTENANCE (IF EQUIPPED)
SeaDek should be handled only with clean hands. Oil, grease, or dirt may leave permanent imprints on the surface.
SeaDek Marine Products recommends using Dek Magic
TM
cleaner, which has been specifically developed for easy cleaning of
PE/EVA nonskid materials and is effective on a variety of stains. Dek Magic is available for purchase on seadek.com. For best
results, wet with water then spray Dek Magic liberally over the entire area. With a medium bristled brush, lightly work the
product in. Let the cleaner sit for 3-5 minutes then use water to dampen the area and lightly scrub again. Rinse the cleaner
off thoroughly and dry with a clean towel. If you encounter a stubborn stain, repeat these steps as needed. If Dek Magic is
not available, see the below steps for other cleaning options.
Dirt and Footprints
Use an all-purpose cleaner, degreaser, or dish soap along with warm water and a medium bristled brush. Thoroughly work
the soapy mixture into the SeaDek until stain comes up. Rinse with clean water and repeat if necessary.
Suntan Lotion, Grease, and Oils
Use an all-purpose cleaner or degreaser alone with a medium bristled brush. Put small amount of the cleaner on the oil
stain and use a medium bristled brush and warm water to scrub until the oil is out. Rinse with clean water and repeat if
needed.
Rust Stains
Wet the affected area and apply a dry, powdered Oxalic acid (such as Barkeeper’s Friend) to the rust stain. Use a medium
bristled brush to work the powder into the stain and allow to soak for 3-5 minutes. Rinse with water and repeat if necessary.
When applying oxalic acid, use care to avoid getting acid on the edges of the pad, as it could damage the lamination or PSA.
Please follow your state and/or country regulations for proper chemical handling. Wear vinyl or nitrile gloves and eye
protection when necessary.
USE WITH CARE
• Although highly effective, using a pressure washer to clean SeaDek pads can cause damage if not done properly. DO NOT
exceed 1200 PSI. Spray from the middle to the outside of the pads. Do not point the pressurized spray under the edge of the
pad.
• Acetone (if it must be used, avoid the edges of the pad to protect the adhesive)
• Oxalic Acid (if it must be used, avoid the edges of the pad to protect the adhesive)
• Bleach (if used, dilute 1 cup with 1 gallon of water)
