Clear Vinyl Care

• Never store the clear vinyl pieces wet, as this will cause a milky film to develop.
• Never fold or crease the clear vinyl pieces as cracking will occur.
• Clear vinyl is not intended for use when the boat is in storage or being moored.
• Clear vinyl does not hold up well against ultraviolet rays.
• Under direct sunlight conditions, do not let the clear vinyl touch the framework. The frame-
work radiates heat and can burn the clear vinyl.
After each use, especially in saltwater, rinse the clear vinyl with cold freshwater. Before stowing, let the clear vinyl
air dry completely.
• The clear vinyl can
be rolled or laid out
flat for stowage.
• Never fold or crease
the clear vinyl parts
as cracking
will occur.
Regularly clean the clear vinyl to prevent dirt, pollen, and etc. from marring the surface. Generally, it is easiest to
clean the clear vinyl while it is installed on the boat.
1. Hose down the clear vinyl with freshwater.
2. Using a soft cotton cloth (paper towels are abrasive and should never be used on clear vinyl), gently wash
the clear vinyl with soap and water.
3. Rinse thoroughly to remove the soap.
4. Before stowing, the clear vinyl must be completely dry. Air drying is best, but you can also carefully dry the
vinyl with a chamois or soft cotton cloth.
• Ask your dealer about products available to keep the clear vinyl polished and looking new.
