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 beofre they have a
chance to penetrate the surface of the vinyl. Try a test area fi rst.
Powdered abrasives, steel wool, or industrial strength cleaners are not
recommended for cleaning our vinyl. Lacquer solvents will cuase
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 suffi cient 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
and bow cover when not in use.
Optional Cockpit Carpet_________________________
Your Regal has an optional carpet feature that covers select portions
of your hull in carpet. The three carpet pieces attach via eyelet snaps
on the deck of your boat.
Use approved household cleaners on carpet. Perform on a test area
fi rst. 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. Solvents will break down the backing
and fi bers.
