The carpets and mats available through Axis are
constructed of durable, marine-grade material.
Occasionally washing with a mild detergent (such as
Dawn dishwashing soap) and warm water is required.
Commercial carpet cleaners (such as Woolite Spray
Carpet Cleaner) are also acceptable.
After cleaning, thoroughly rinse the detergent or
cleaner out of the carpet or mat and into the bilge.
Allow the boat to remain uncovered for several days
to air dry and avoid mold and mildew. See the Canvas
and Upholstery sections for more information on
mold and mildew development and how critical it is to
avoid.
Axis uses high quality fiberglass and rubber
composites to construct swim platforms. These
durable platforms should also periodically receive
a thorough cleaning. Use only mild detergents and
warm water or marine-industry based cleaners that
are approved for use on fiberglass and rubber.
Avoid using
ArmorAll or similar
types of rubber-
shine products. These will actually accelerate deterioration of
the product, rather than protecting it. Such damage is not covered under warranty.
The majority of the finish surface of the hull and deck is a fiberglass-reinforced resin. While the boat
material is sturdy, to ensure an enjoyable experience while boating, the fiberglass-and-resin layers and gel
coat finish (where the paint is embedded) is very thin—only a few millimeters in depth. To keep it looking
like new, it is important to keep it clean and waxed.
Only a mild detergent and warm water should be used to clean these surfaces. Avoid all harsh cleaners
as they will quickly erode the finish.
Use only a mild detergent, such as
dishwashing soap, and warm water
to wash the fiberglass-and-resin and
gel coat finishes on the boat. Harsh
detergents and cleaners will quickly
damage the finish, and this is not
covered under warranty.
If you choose to wash the boat at a car
wash, do so with care. Stay back from the
boat surface to avoid potential damage
from the high-pressure sprayer, and do
not use the soap setting as most car-wash
soaps are intended to deal with highway-
type debris such as salt, road tar and similar
environmental hazards. Wash the boat by
hand with mild detergent as noted above, and
then rinse carefully.
