Cosmetic Care & Maintenance
Interior Fabrics
Clean flat good interior fabrics with dry cleaning fluid style cleaners
approved for use with soft fabrics. Allow adequate ventilation and fol-
low the label instructions carefully. Use a soft cleanser with feldspar to
clean stubborn marks or stains on wallpaper. Normal interior vinyl
such as the headliner and head need a mild soap and water solution.
Rinse immediately with clean water and wipe dry. Always test an area
with a cleaner before applying it to a larger area.

WAXED GELCOAT SURFACES
CAN BE VERY SLIPPERY.

SUCH AS FLOORS, WALKWAYS,
STEPS, LADDERS OR SWIM PLATFORMS.
Routine maintenance is the only practical way to keep the surface of
your boat looking shiny and new. Most objects left outdoors will gradu-
ally deteriorate from exposure to the sun, water, dust and pollution.
Such outdoor exposure can cause your boat's gelcoated surface to
change or fade. Darker colors tend to fade more rapidly than lighter
colors because they absorb more of the sun's rays (ultraviolet and
infrared).
Basic maintenance includes monthly washing of the boat's surface to
remove normal accumulation of soil and stain.
