Exterior Carpets; Cleaning And Maintenance - Scarab SB Series Owner's Manual

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 recom m ended. Dry cleaning fluids and lacquer sol-
vents should not be used as they will remove the printed pat-
tern 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
products can contain dyes that stain permanently. Care should
be exercised and boat covers should be utilized.
