CLEANING & CARE
We understand that maintaining your boat's pristine
condition is essential for optimal performance and lon-
gevity. This section will provide you with valuable insights
and guidelines on how to properly clean, care for, and
store your boat, ensuring it remains in top-notch shape
for countless adventures on the water. By following
these recommendations, you'll not only enhance your
boat's appearance but also safeguard its components,

Fiberglass Care
Washing and waxing the boat hull and deck regularly will extend the life and beauty of your Supra. It is a good
routine to rinse your boat with fresh water after each day's use.
It is recommended that the hull and deck be cleaned and waxed after every 25 hours of use. This will decrease
water friction and lesson the potential for staining or spotting on the gelcoat surface.
When the original gelcoat shine cannot be restored by waxing, the shine may be restored by hand buffi ng with
a commercial polishing compound. Be sure to apply a new coat of wax containing Carnauba over the area that
has been polished.
IMPORTANT: Porcelain cleaning powders are too abrasive for use on gelcoat and may cause permanent discol-
oration if used. Household detergents containing ammonia or chlorine should not be used on gelcoat. Never
use acetone or ketone solvents to clean your boat fi nish.
Washing Your Boat
The easiest way to preserve the beauty of your boat is to keep it clean by frequent washing. Wash the boat with
luke warm or cold water. Wipe the boat down immediately after washing to avoid water spots. Avoid using hot
water or washing your boat in direct sunlight. Avoid using strong soaps or chemical detergents. To avoid spot-
ting, all cleaning agents should be thoroughly rinsed from the surface promptly and not allowed to dry on the
fi nish.
