Chapter 7
Powdered abrasives, steel wool, or industrial strength cleaners are
not recommended for cleaning our vinyl. Lacquer solvents will cause
immediate damage. Dilute chlorine bleach before using. Do not wax
the vinyl as it may cause cracking. Always wear protective gloves and
make sure there is su cient ventilation when cleaning vinyl. Wear
eye protection.
Remember that suntan oil will damage vinyl. Use suntan lotion in-
stead of suntan oil. Exposure to the sun is a natural enemy of vinyl
upholstery. Keep the vessel covered with a cockpit cover when not
in use.
Cockpit Carpet
Use approved cleaners on carpet. Always try on a test area rst. Many
spots and spills can be removed using a cleaner combined with a
clean, white terry towel. Try not to soak an area excessively and do
not use solvents because most interior carpet is rubber backed and
glued in place. Solvents and abrasives will break down the backing
and bers. Note: Always roll up cockpit carpet before towing your
boat. Store carpet in a locker.
Plastics
Use plastic cleaners and polishes recommended for marine use
only. Use proper applicators. Read all instructions carefully. Test
the product in a small area rst. Use a so rag and always rinse
the surface with water. Ammonia based cleaners and abrasives will
damage plastic parts.
TO AVOID PROPERTY DAMAGE NEVER CLEAN PLASTIC
SURFACES WITH A DRY CLOTH OR GLASS CLEANING SOLUTIONS
CONTAINING AMMONIA. NEVER USE SOLVENTS
OR WIPE WITH ABRASIVES.
