™
All cleaning methods must be followed by a thorough rinse
with clean warm water.
Certain household cleaners, powdered abrasives, steel wool
and industrial cleaners can cause damage and discoloration
and are not recommended. Dry cleaning fluids and lacquer
solvents should not be used as they will remove the printed
pattern and gloss. Waxes should be used with caution as
many contain dyes or solvents that can permanently damage
the protective coating.
*Suntan lotion, tree pollen, wet leaves and some other prod-
ucts can contain dyes that stain permanently. Care should
be exercised and boat covers should be utilized.

NOTICE
When docking or mooring your boat be aware
of your surroundings i.e. trees with pollen, wet
leaves, berries etc. These and other items can
contain dyes that stain permanently. Utilize
weather covers whenever possibly to protect
vinyl from potential stains.
NOTICE
ALWAYS CLEAN STAINS IMMEDIATELY! DO
NOT use 409 Cleaner™ or Armorall™ on vinyl.
