The following guidelines discussed in this section 
will protect the investment you have made by preserving 
the beauty and performance of your new boat for years to come.

Interior

Carpet

Your Malibu boat is equipped with a top quality, all-weather indoor/outdoor carpet. It is
essentially waterproof and fade resistant. Occasional vacuuming and scrubbing with soap
and water will remove embedded dirt and grit.

Vinyl

All upholstery items aboard your boat are made of a tough marine vinyl that is easily
cleaned with a mild detergent and warm water. After washing the vinyl, be sure to dry 
it thoroughly.

Our materials are mildew resistant, but there are no products available to us that are
mildew proof. Therefore, we also recommend that you dry the upholstery thoroughly at
the end of each day’s boating activity to prevent mildew which will rot the upholstery
threads and backing. We also recommend that you tip up all seat base cushions on edge
after each use to allow any accumulated water to drain.

In some instances, color or dye transfer can occur when wet
clothing comes in contact with vinyl. If this occurs, the vinyl
should be cleaned immediately to avoid permanent staining.
Unfortunately, due to the porous nature of the upholstery,
you may find that the dye has set into the vinyl surface, and
you cannot remove it. If this should occur, it is recommended
that you contact Final Finish/MSG to get assistance in
cleaning. 

Upholstery finish stains caused by secondary sources are not
covered under your Malibu Boats Warranty.
