CHAPTER 7
Powdered abrasives, steel wool, or industrial strength cleaners 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 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.
Keep the vessel covered with a cockpit cover when not in use.
Use approved cleaners on carpet. Always try 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 because most interior carpet is rubber backed and glued in
place. Solvents and abrasives will break down the backing and fi bers.
Note: Always roll up cockpit carpet before towing your boat.
Store carpet in a locker.
Use plastic cleaners and polishes recommended for marine use only. Use
proper applicators. Read all instructions carefully. Test the product in a
small area fi rst. Use a soft rag and always rinse the surface with water.
Ammonia based cleaners and abrasives will damage plastic parts.
