* Always remove stains immediately. Upholstery must be kept CLEAN AND DRY!
A = Medium sof brush, with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry.
B = 303 Fabric and Vinyl Cleaner. Rinse and dry.
C = Wipe or scrape o excess (chill gum with ice before starting).
All cleaning methods must be followed by a thorough rinse with clean, warm wa-
ter. Failure to care for your vinyl properly, or the use of improper cleaners may void
your warranty, as well as damaging your vinyl.
Certain household cleaners, powdered abrasives, steel wool, and solvent clean-
ers can cause damage and discoloration and are not recommended. Dry cleaning
fluids and lacquer solvents should not be used as they will remove printed pattern
and gloss. Waxes should be used with caution as many contain dyes or solvents
that can permanently damage the protective coating.
Do not clean with power washers as they can generate 3,500 P.S.I. and could
damage the surface of your interior. Do not use kerosene, gasoline or acetone, as
they will remove the protective marine top coat. Do not use any silicone-based
protectants. They will extract the plasticizer, leaving vinyl hard and brittle, and
eventually cracking will occur.
Your satisfaction is directly related to regular care of the upholstery!
Vinyl upholstery should be covered when not in use to protect from further sun
exposure, tree debris, air pollutants and acid rain.
For storage, vinyl should be cleaned, protected, covered and stored in a dry, well-
ventilated area.
