B. ACRYLIC PORTLIGHTS, WINDOWS & HATCHES
1. First rinse off with fresh water and then wash all Portlights, windows and
hatches with 3M™ Marine Multi Purpose Boat Soap, use a clean soft cloth
and apply only light pressure. Rinse with clean fresh water and dry by
blotting with a slightly damp cloth or chamois.
2. Never use window cleaning sprays, scouring materials or solvents such as
Acetone, Benzene or Lacquer Thinners on acrylic materials
3. If masking tape is put on to acrylic material it must be removed as soon as
practicable as the glue could cause dulling of the acrylic surface.
4. Acrylic materials can be polished to a high grade finish and slight scratches
removed. We recommend the use of McGuire’s Mirror Glaze No. 17.
Polishing should be done by hand as excess heat generated from machine
polishing could cause distortion of the acrylic material and subsequent
water leaks.
5. We recommend the fitment of External Sun shades to the Coachroof Side
windows, this will help to reduce the build up of heat within the vessel and
prevent deterioration of the Acrylic Window seals from the effects of Ultra
Violet (UV) Rays.
C. VINYL, UPHOLSTERY FABRICS AND CARPETING
1. All interior vinyl, upholstered panels and carpeting should be regularly
cleaned. Any spills should be cleaned immediately to prevent possible
permanent staining. The carpets should be regularly vacuumed to remove
dirt before it becomes trodden in to the material.
2. Regular cleaning with 3M™ Marine Multi Purpose Boat Soap diluted as per
the manufacturer’s instructions is recommended. To remove stubborn
marks and stains moderate scrubbing with Scotch Brite™ No.63 Cleansing
Sponge will loosen the mark or stain. This must be tested on a sample of
material before commencing to use in visible areas. To restore and protect
vinyl apply a coat of 3M™ Marine Outdoor Vinyl Cleaner, Conditioner and
Protector. This will build up a barrier against normal dirt and stains and will
retard UV damage.

UPHOLSTERED PANEL, CARPETING or FIBREGLASS SURFACE:
