Quicksilver® 555BR — Maintenance
31
After each use, especially if used in salt water areas, rinse the canvas completely with fresh cold
water.
On a regular basis, brush off any loose dirt, pollen, etc., and hose down with water and clean with a
mild solution of a natural soap in lukewarm water (maximum 38°C). Allow the canvas to soak,
however, do not let the soap dry. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water. Let the canvas dry completely.
Do not store any of the canvas pieces while wet.
The effects of ultraviolet light can sometimes be reduced by chemical treatment of canvas items.
Consult your Quicksilver® dealer or check your canvas manufacturer’s manual before using any
chemical treatments on your canvas.
To clean stubborn stains, soak fabric for approximately twenty minutes in a mild solution consisting of
no more than 30 ml of bleach and 15 ml of natural soap per liter of lukewarm water (not to exceed
38° C). Rinse thoroughly in cold water several times, then allow the fabric to air dry completely.
Retreat the fabric using an air curing product such to ensure water and stain repellency. Refer to the
canvas vendor’s recommendation for additional information.
Zippers & Hardware
Lubricate zippers and fasteners periodically with a clear silicone spray. In the absence of silicone spray,
a wax candle can be used to lubricate the zipper track. Replace any missing fasteners or any fasteners
showing signs of corrosion.
DO NOT use petroleum based products, such as petroleum
jelly, on the zippers or fasteners.
Vinyl Windows
The canvas on your boat may incorporate Eisenglass polycarbonate windows. Regular cleaning,
utilizing compatible cleaners, coupled with proper maintenance techniques will significantly improve
the vinyl’s service life.
Never use regular window cleaners, detergents, abrasives,
petroleum based products, or alcohol to clean your vinyl
windows. Do not handle vinyl with sunscreen on your
hands. Sunscreen will permanently cloud the vinyl where
handled. Do not fold vinyl panels. Store flat or rolled with
smooth paper or soft cloth between layers when dry.
Rinse vinyl thoroughly with clean water to remove any dust, dirt particles, salt water or environmental
agents before applying cleaning products. This should be done frequently to avoid build up of salt
water, dirt and other environmental contaminants. Using a soft non
- abrasive cloth, wash windows
inside and out with a mild soap and water solution. Rinse completely with cool water. DO NOT USE
DETERGENTS.
Use separate clean, soft cloths or sponges for application of cleaners and polishes (Use the
manufacturer’s recommended products). Only use a small amount of cleaner or streaking may occur.
If you get streaking or a leftover film, rinse the window with clean water.
