Use a soft rag and always rinse the surface with water.
Ammonia based cleaners and abrasives will damage plastic
parts.
INTERIOR FABRICS
Clean flat-good interior fabrics with dry cleaning fluid style
cleaners approved for use with soft fabrics. Allow adequate
ventilation and follow the label instructions carefully. Use
a soft cleanser with feldspar to clean stubborn marks or
stains on wallpaper. Normal interior vinyl such as the head-
liner and head need a mild soap and water solution. Rinse
immediately with clean water and wipe dry. Always test an
area with a cleaner before applying it to a larger area.
CORIAN
FIBERGLASS & GELCOAT
Routine maintenance is the only practical way to keep
the surface of your boat looking shiny and new. Most
objects left outdoors will gradually deteriorate from
exposure to the sun, water, dust and pollution. Such
outdoor exposure can cause your boat’s gelcoated surface
to change or fade. Darker colors tend to fade more rapidly
than lighter colors because they absorb more of the sun’s
rays (ultraviolet and infrared).
Basic maintenance includes monthly washing of the
boat’s surface to remove normal accumulations of soil
and stain. Use a mild detergent such as dishwasher powder
or liquid. Do not use automatic dishwasher detergent.
Avoid any kind of alkaline cleaners such as tri-sodium
phosphate (TSP), abrasives, bleaches and ammonia. For
best results use cleaners that are recommended for
Regal has chosen Corian countertop material because of
its elegance and durability. Periodic maintenance will
ensure its beauty. Corian withstands heat much better than
ordinary countertop materials but you must still use a hot
pad or trivet when taking materials directly out of the oven
or stove top to protect from damaging the surface. Avoid
cutting directly on the surface.
Another feature of Corian countertops is that the material
is non-porous. Therefore, dirt and germs do not penetrate
it. Corian will not support the growth of germs and
mildew. To disinfect, wipe the surface with diluted
household bleach with a ratio of 1 part bleach to 1 part
water. To clean the surface of water marks, wipe it down
with soap and water and towel dry. For stains use soapy
water or ammonia based cleaners.
You can use a Scotch-Brite pad to remove stubborn stains.
The Corian is a matte or satin finish. To remove scratches
and nicks, sand the surface with 180-220 grit sand paper
until the nick is gone. To restore the finish use an abrasive
cleanser and a green Scotch-Brite pad. Wrap a piece of
sandpaper around a block of wood while sanding the final
finish to obtain a flat finish.
