Do not use abrasive cleaners on smooth fiberglass
surfaces. They will dull the surface and allow dirt to
penetrate the surface.
3. Rinse the boat with fresh water.
At least once a year, apply a good grade automotive or marine
wax to the smooth fiberglass surfaces. Follow the directions
supplied with the wax. After a period of time, when your boat
has been exposed to the sunlight, the gelcoat surface will fade,
dull, or chalk. This will require a heavier buffing to bring back to
its original luster. To accomplish this, a fine cleaning compound
such as Mirror Glaze ® #1 and a power buffer will be required.
Follow all directions supplied with the cleaner. After buffing,
apply a coat of wax to all smooth surfaces.
Hull sides and transom should receive the same cleaning as the
other fiberglass surfaces.
A pamphlet called, Congratulations, Welcome To The Fiber-
glass Fleet, is included in the literature packet. Read this
pamphlet for more information on the care of fiberglass.
If the fiberglass or gelcoat surface should need repair, contact
your Fishing Boats dealer or another qualified
marine service facility.
6 . 4 . 2 . Plexiglass
The hatches and portholes in your boat are made of plexiglass
and must only be cleaned with mild soap and water, or plexiglass
cleaner.
Keep all strong solvents such as acetone, and strong
window cleaners such as Windex
®
, aw ay fro m
plexiglass surfaces. They can cloud and cause
crazing in the plexiglass surface.
