CLEANING
AND
MAINTENANCE
________________
A periodic cleaning and maintenance sched-
ule of the interior and exterior surfaces of
your 352 MY is recommended. Not only will
it maintain your yacht in pristine condition,
but it will also result in a higher resale or
trade-in value when you decide to purchase
another Silverton yacht. A clean yacht is
both pleasing to the eye and a source of
pride in ownership. Cleaning and mainte-
nance of your 352 MY is described in the
following categories:
Interior Cleaning/Maintenance
Exterior Cleaning/Maintenance
Canvas Enclosure Cleaning/Mainte-
nance
Interior
Cleaning/Maintenance
There are several different types of surfaces
in the interior of your 352 MY and all require
a different method of cleaning. The surfaces
and their respective cleaning and mainte-
nance procedures are as follows:
Fiberglass
Wash with a mild soap and water solution.
Thoroughly dry with a soft cloth and apply
a coat of good quality wax designed for
marine use.
DO NOT use abrasive
cleaning agents on fi berglass surfaces,
as they will scratch and dull the fi nish.

Wood
There are many wood surfaces in your 352
MY, such as galley cabinets, entertainment
cabinets and trim. Care and cleaning of the
wood surfaces is identical to the mainte-
nance of the wood surfaces in your home.
Frequently remove dust from the wood with
a feather duster or similar cleaning tool.
Apply a good quality furniture polish, such
as Liquid Gold, to all wood surfaces on a
regular basis to maintain their beauty and
lustre.
Nautolex (Vinyl)
Gently wash with a mild soap and water
solution and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth on
a regular basis. DO NOT wait for the vinyl
surface to appear soiled before you clean
it, as stains and ground-in surface dirt may
be diffi cult to remove.
DO NOT use cleaning
agents containing bleach, as they will
remove the color tint from the vinyl sur-
face, causing a blotching appearance
and will dry the material, resulting in
surface cracks.
Upholstery
The upholstery in your 352 MY is high qual-
ity and stain resistant. Frequently vacuum
the upholstery to remove any dirt before
it accumulates and becomes imbedded.
Stains may be removed by using a quality
household stain remover. Be certain to fol-
low the manufacturer’s directions concern-
ing its use.
