All cleaning methods must be followed by a thorough rinse with
clean, warm water. Failure to care for your vinyl properly, or the use
of improper cleaners, may void your warranty, as well as damage
your vinyl.
Certain household cleaners, powdered abrasives, steel wool, and
solvent cleaners can cause damage and discoloration and are not
recommended. Dry cleaning fluids and lacquer solvents should
not be used because they will remove printed pattern and gloss.
Waxes should be used with caution because 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, because they will remove the protective ma-
rine top coat. Do not use any silicone based protectants. They will
extract the plasticizer, leaving vinyl hard and brittle, and eventually
cracking will occur.
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.
