windshield manufactured recommends LanoCote, which is commercially available at West

Marine.



When washing the powder-coated surface, use fresh water and mild detergents, and rinse

thoroughly. Rinse within one hour of application.



Use only soft cloths to wash or wipe the surface.



Use cleaners containing naphtha hydrocarbons (free of aromatic compounds) to remove greasy

or oily substances, or to remove glue or adhesive tape residues. Quickly remove them from the

powder surface.



Be sure that all water drain openings are free from debris. It is important to not allow water to pool

and lie continuously against the finish.

DON'Ts



Do not drill or break through the powder-coating film unless absolutely necessary. As much as

possible, fastener holes should be drilled or punched before powder-coating.



Do not use organic solvents containing esters, ketones, alcohols, aromatic compounds, glycolic

ether, or halogenated hydrocarbons.



Do not use excessively alkaline or acidic cleaners.



Do not use detergents at more than 77° F.



Do not allow contact with teak cleaners.



Do not allow wet cushions or covers to be in constant contact with the powder-coat.



Do not shrink-wrap or tightly bind painted or powder-coated surfaces with plastic wrappings.



Do not use abrasives or abrasive cleaners.

Accelerated life tests have shown that powder-coat materials are particularly susceptible to the following products

and they should not be used on the powder-coated surfaces:



Sodium Hydroxide



Ammonia

Tempered glass – Most of the windshield sections are made of tempered glass (i.e., the windshield vent

assembly, the two front windshield panels and the two aft panels. Each of these panels will have a very small,

discreet label that states that they are made of tempered glass (i.e., FLT Glass Tempered). The two curved

panels are made of acrylic, not tempered glass and should not be treated in the same manner.

To clean the tempered glass panels 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.

Acrylic – The two curved sections are made of acrylic. They DO NOT have a tempered label affixed to them. The

windshield manufacturer recommends that you hose down the entire windshield assembly on a regular basis. If

any grit or grime is present, avoid grinding it into the surface as you carefully dislodge it. Allow the acrylic panels

to air dry.

If further leaning is required, use a very soft cotton cloth and clean with a mixture of warm water and mild dish

washing soap such as Ivory or Dawn. Make certain that there is no cross contamination on the cotton cloth.

Then, allow the acrylic panels to air dry.

Grease and adhesives may be removed with kerosene, hexane or white gas (not gas you burn in your boat, car,

or lawnmower). Never use solvents such as acetone, silicone spray, benzene, carbon tetrachloride, dry cleaning

fluid, lacquer or paint thinner, or any chlorinated solvent on acrylic since they may dissolve the material.
