A. INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR GRP SURFACES
To maintain the factory new appearance of the boat all fibreglass surfaces should
be cleaned regularly. Normal accumulations of surface dirt should be removed by
simply rinsing with fresh water. The exterior deck surfaces should be rinsed down
with fresh water after every trip to prevent the build up of crystallized salts. To
remove dirt, grease and oil use 3M™ Marine Multi Purpose Boat Soap. Following
the manufacturer’s directions for mix ratios and application instructions.
Exterior fibreglass surfaces should be waxed twice a year with 3M™ Marine
Protective Liquid Wax or 3M™ Marine Ultra Performance Paste Wax to protect
against Ultra Violet degradation (chalking) and to maintain a deep shine on the
exposed surfaces. Apply according to the manufacturers instructions
recommended for each product.
To maintain and enhance the shine between wax applications apply 3M™ Marine
Clean and Shine Wax after each washing, this product can be simply sprayed on
and then wiped off.
