Optional Acrylic Enclosure
Acrylic Windshields: washing and care.
1. If you have been offshore, be sure to spray the windshield liberally
with a hose to melt and wash away any salt crystals.
2. Mix a little detergent in a bucket of warm water. If there is any debris
stuck on the windshield, take some time to wet it out and soak before
removing it with a microber cloth. Use an up and down motion to
clean the windshield. Do not over-clean since this will add more
scratches.
3. With a dry microber cloth apply a good acrylic polish such as Novus.
This polish comes in three variants: #1 for everyday clean and shine,
#2 to remove ne scratches and #3 for heavy scratches. These will
be available at most marine stores. The rule of thumb is that if your
ngernail hangs up on the scratch, it is not repairable.
4. Crazing:Thisiswhentheacrylicglintsasyougotowardsthe

be sure to provide some ventilation since fuel vapors attack acrylics.
Crazing is not repairable.
