Fiberglass Care
Washing and waxing the boat hull and deck regularly will extend
the life and beauty of your Supra. It is a good routine to rinse
your boat with fresh water after each day’s use.
It is recommended that the hull and deck be cleaned and waxed
after every 25 hours of use. This will decrease water friction
and lesson the potential for staining or spotting on the gelcoat
surface.
When the original gelcoat shine cannot be restored by waxing,
the shine may be restored by hand bung with a commercial
polishing compound. Be sure to apply a new coat of wax
containing Carnauba over the area that has been polished.
IMPORTANT: Porcelain cleaning powders are too abrasive
for use on gelcoat and may cause permanent discoloration
if used. Household detergents containing ammonia or
chlorine should not be used on gelcoat. Never use acetone
or ketone solvents to clean your boat nish.
Washing Your Boat
The easiest way to preserve the beauty of your boat is to keep
it clean by frequent washing. Wash the boat with luke warm
or cold water. Wipe the boat down immediately after washing
to avoid water spots. Avoid using hot water or washing your
boat in direct sunlight. Avoid using strong soaps or chemical
detergents. To avoid spotting, all cleaning agents should be
thoroughly rinsed from the surface promptly and not allowed
to dry on the nish.
Rub Rail Care
Use a sponge or other soft material to wash and wax the rub
rail. To wax, use a commercial automotive bumper wax.
NOTICE: When tying up to a dock or another boat, always
use cushioned fenders (dock bumpers) to protect your
boat from hard surfaces.
Windshield Care
All Supra windshields are constructed of tempered safety
glass to ensure passenger safety. The glass surfaces should
be cleaned regularly to ensure that visibility is not obstructed.
Use a commercial glass cleaner to remove any spotting or
stubborn stains that develop on the windshield. Never use
abrasive cleaners on glass surfaces.
