Axis Wake Research A20 - Carpets and Mats; Hull and Deck Finishes; Swim Platform

 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.
 Aer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

 Axisuseshighqualityberglassandrubber
compositestoconstructswimplaorms.These
durableplaormsshouldalsoperiodicallyreceive
athoroughcleaning.Useonlymilddetergentsand
warm water or marine-industry based cleaners that

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nishsurfaceofthehullanddeckisaberglass-reinforcedresin.Whiletheboat
materialissturdy,toensureanenjoyableexperiencewhileboang,theberglass-and-resinlayersandgel
coatnish(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nish.
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potenaldamage
from the high-pressure sprayer, and do
notusethesoapseng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.
