liquid or flakes, and lukewarm water. Allow to air dry. Never use any
type of abrasive cleaner as it will scratch the “vinyl” glass. There are
many cleaners and scratch removers on the market specifically for
clear vinyl. Handle the clear curtains carefully. They are soft and prone
to scratching.
Canvas parts are designed with zippers. When zippers are new they
can be a little difficult to use. Zip carefully without forcing the zipper
or the material. They will loosen with use. A zipper lubricant may be
used to help new zippers as well as maintaining used ones. The most
vulnerable part of the zipper is the starts. Use care when starting the
zipper.
Canvas snap fasteners should be unsnapped as close to the button as
possible. Never remove canvas by pulling roughly on the edge of the
material. This can damage the canvas as well as the fasteners. Use
petroleum jelly on snaps to keep them from developing corrosion
especially in harsh environments.
Hull Bottom
Never use wire brushes or highly abrasive scouring pads on your hull
bottom. It could damage the gel coat surface or the bottom paint.
The bottom of your boat needs to be clean since the build up of
natural coatings from water or marine life can potentially create drag
and affect your boat’s performance. Contact a marine professional or
Regal dealer for more information.
Metal
Keep all stainless steel and other metal parts rinsed and wiped dry. To
maintain their finish annually polish the stainless steel and other bright
works at least annually. Use commercially available metal products and
read the labels carefully before use. Refer to the flyer in the owners
information pouch. Most marinas and boating retail outlets carry metal
care products.
