N - 4 EXTERIOR UPHOLSTERY CARE
A. Cleaning Vinyl
The vinyl material used on the exterior upholstery can be
easily cleaned using mild detergent and water. Be sure
to thoroughly rinse the seats after washing to remove all
soap film. Periodic spraying of the seats with Lysol Spray
Disinfectant™ will help retard mildew.
NOTICE
DO NOT apply vinyl protectants such as
Armorall™. The manufacturer does not recom-
mend this product because it removes the oils
present in vinyl that keeps vinyl soft.
A recommended “Cleaning Kit” includes:
• Ivory Dishwashing Liquid™ and water
• Clean, white towels
• Medium-soft brush
• Fantastik Spray Cleaner™
• Denatured Alcohol
• Tough Duty Cleaner™
(to locate the nearest distributor, call 800-537-8990)

NOTICE
All cleaning methods must be followed by a thor-
ough rinse with water.
Certain household cleaners, powdered abrasives, steel
wool and industrial cleaners can cause damage and dis-
coloration and are not recommended. Dry cleaning fluids
and lacquer solvent should not be used as they will re-
move the printed pattern and gloss. Waxes should be
used with caution. May contain dyes or solvents that
can permanently damage the protective coating.
Additional cleaning information is provided by the manu-
facturer and is included with this manual.
Four Winns offers a variety of optional weather covers for
protection of the boat and associated equipment. Con-
tinued exposure can damage the upholstery and seating.
The seating can become thoroughly saturated with water
if not adequately protected. Refer to Section O - Weather
Covers for more information.
NOTICE
The appearance and longevity of the exterior up-
holstery will be affected by water saturation.
Protect these items appropriately.
