TM
. Many cosmetic
care topics including exterior hardware,
upholstery, fiberglass and canvas are
described. Also, major equipment and
systems are covered. As always, refer
to the owner’s information pouch and the manufacturer’s
owner’s manual for detailed procedures.
UPHOLSTERY
Cockpit and interior vinyl require periodic cleaning to
maintain a neat appearance and to prevent the build up of
dirt and contaminants that may stain and reduce the vinyl
life if they are not removed. The frequency of cleaning
depends on the amount of use and conditions to which
the vinyl is subjected.
Most common stains can be cleaned using warm, soapy
water and clear rinses. Scrubbing with a soft bristle brush
will help loosen soiled material from embossed surfaces and
under welting. If the stains are not removed with the above
method use a mild cleaner such as Fantastic. This cleaner
should be used only as needed and not the normal means.
With more stubborn stains, rubbing alcohol or mineral
spirits may be tried cautiously. Widespread solvent use can
severely damage or discolor vinyl.
Try to remove stains immediately before they have a chance
to penetrate the surface of the vinyl.
Powdered abrasives, steel wool, or industrial strength clean-
ers are not recommended for cleaning our vinyl. Lacquer
solvents will cause immediate damage. Dilute chlorine
bleach before using. Do not wax the vinyl as it may cause
cracking. Always wear protective gloves and make sure
there is sufficient ventilation when cleaning vinyl. Wear
eye protection.
Remember that suntan oil will damage vinyl. Use suntan
lotion instead of suntan oil. Exposure to the sun is a
natural enemy of vinyl upholstery. For maximum life, keep
the vessel covered with a cockpit cover when not in use.
CARPET
Use approved carpet cleaners only. Always try on a test area
first. Many spots and spills can be removed using a cleaner
combined with a clean, white terry towel. Try not to soak
an area excessively and do not use solvents because most
interior marine carpet is rubber backed and glued in place.
Solvents will break down the backing and fibers.
PLASTICS
Use plastic cleaners and polishes recommended for marine
use only. Use proper applicators. Read all instructions
carefully. Test the product in a small area first.
