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 sufficient ventilation when cleaning vinyl. Wear eye
protection.
Remember that suntan oil will damage vinyl. Use suntan lotion instead
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 first. 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 fibers.
N OTT: Always roll up cockpit carpet before storing 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 first. Use a soft rag and always rinse the surface with
water. Ammonia based cleaners and abrasives will damage plastic parts.
Never clean plastic surfaces with a dry cloth or glass cleaning
solutions containing ammonia. Never use solvents or wipe with
abrasives. Damage to the plastic surface could result.
