Windshield
Care Instructions - Regular cleaning with fresh water and a soft cloth will keep and protect your
windshield, window or hatch for years.
•
Glass - Use commercially available glass cleaners or a mixture of fresh water and
vinegar. Do not use abrasives, harsh chemicals or metal scrapers. Regular cleaning will
help assure clarity of the glass for safe boating.
•
Window Channels - Clean window channels with mild detergent only. Channels can be
sprayed with silicon aerosol.
•
Metal - Polish with commercially available metal polishes. A boat or car wax applied
periodically will offer extra protection against the elements.
•
Painted Surfaces - Clean with fresh water periodically. Touch up scratches and areas
where paint has chipped off with touch-up spray paint. Touch-up kits are available from
the windshield manufacturer.
•
Boat Top Clips – Never slide boat top clips along windshield framework. To change a
clip location, snap on and off the aluminum top track.
•
Grounding - Never ground windshield with any electrical devices or appliances.
•
Attaching Any Type of Metal Component to the Frame - Whenever attaching any metal
component to the windshield frame, the windshield manufacturer recommends bedding
all metal fasteners in contact with the aluminum frame with Tef-Gel to prevent the
possibility of rust, galvanic corrosion, seizing of moving parts, blistering of painted
surfaces, etc. between these two dissimilar metals.

One of the best ways to keep Sunbrella brand fabrics looking good and to delay the need for deep or
vigorous cleanings is to hose fabrics off on a monthly basis with clear water. This practice will help
prevent dirt from becoming deeply imbedded in the fabric and eliminate the need for more frequent
vigorous cleanings. In most environments, a thorough cleaning will be needed every two to three years.
When it's time for a thorough cleaning, Sunbrella fabrics can be cleaned while still installed on your boat.
It is important to observe the following:
•
Brush off loose dirt.
•
Hose down.
•
Prepare a cleaning mixture of water and mild soap (Ivory Snow, Dreft or Woolite - no
detergents). Water should be cold to lukewarm. Never more than 100 degrees.
•
Use a soft bristle brush to clean.
•
Allow soap to soak in.
•
Rinse thoroughly.
•
Air dry. Never apply heat to Sunbrella fabrics.
If stubborn stains persist, you can use a diluted chlorine bleach/soap mixture for spot cleaning of mildew,
roof run-off or other similar stains. Prepare a special cleaning mixture:
