Isinglass (Windscreen Material)
When maintaining the Isinglass material, maintenance means "rinsing" with cold water and trying not to rub the
dirt into the Isinglass. Never "Dry" dust the Isinglass panels. Any rubbing acts like sandpaper to plastic so keep
rubbing to a minimum. Always use lots of cold water and a very very soft cloth when rubbing is required. Do not
use paper towels or Terri-cloth towels. Try not to use any cleaning solutions, as most will cause yellowing and
cracking.
When you have to store the panels of your windscreen and curtain package, always "roll up" the material to
prevent creases. Do not fold the Isinglass as this will permanently damage the Isinglass material. Do not roll up
the panels when wet, as the material will turn white or fog up. Dry the panels off first using a very very soft cloth
before rolling them up. A few hours in the sun will get rid of the whiteness or fogginess in most cases.
Vinyl
Interior Vinyl - Cabin Headliner
Clean periodically to maintain the appearance of the vinyl and to prevent the build-up of dirt and contaminants.
Any stain, spill or soiling should be cleaned promptly to prevent the possibility of permanent staining. When
cleaning, always scrub gently using a soft cloth or nylon bristle brush.
Caution: Powered abrasives, abrasive cleaners and steel wool will damage vinyl, as do strong
solvents, lacquer solutions and inks. Lotions, suntan oil, waxes and polishes, etc., contain oils
and dyes that can cause stiffening and staining of the vinyl. Never use steam, heat guns or hair
dryers.
For additional information regarding the care and maintenance of this product, please refer to the Morbern
brochure provided in your owner's package for recommended methods to clean specific types of stains.
Exterior Vinyl – Upholstered Seats and Cockpit Bolsters
Vinyl requires periodic cleaning to maintain its neat appearance and to prevent the build-up of dirt and
contaminants that may permanently stain and reduce the life of the vinyl if they are not removed. The frequency
of cleaning depends on the amount of use and on environmental conditions to which the vinyl is subjected. The
procedures used for cleaning are dependent upon the end use circumstances.
For normal cleaning, most stains can be cleaned using warm soapy water and a clear water rinse. Moderate
scrubbing with a medium bristle brush will help to loosen soiling material from the depressions of embossed
surfaces.
For stubborn stains, use either Fantastic or Mr. Clean, which are commercially available mild
detergents, in accordance with manufacturers instructions.

Cloth
Cabin Cushions and Bolsters
The manufacturer of the materials used in making the cabin cushions recommends the following cleaning
procedures:
Spot clean only with water based shampoo or foam upholstery cleaner. Pretest a small, inconspicuous area
before proceeding. Do not over wet. Do not use solvents to spot clean. Pile fabrics may require brushing with a
non-metallic, stiff bristle brush to restore appearance.
Note: Water extraction or steam cleaning is not a recommended cleaning method. Cushion
covers should not be removed and laundered. To prevent overall soiling, frequent vacuuming or
light brushing with a non-metallic, stiff bristle brush to remove dust and grime is recommended.
When cleaning a spill, blot immediately to remove spilled material. Clean spot stains from the
outside to the middle of the affected area to prevent circling.
