For the inlay, note:
• Inlays do not require oiling or special sealants.
• Inlays can be maintained by pressure washing.
• Do NOT place hot metals of any kind on the inlay surface.
This will create a permanent mark.
• Do NOT use acetone to clean the inlay (or berglass surround).
• Do NOT use oil, bleach, varnish, paint or lacquer.
• Do NOT use a power sander.
Most spills will brush away with soap and water, using a bristled brush and
boat deck cleaner. After cleaning, rinse with water and allow to air dry. Sanded
areas will appear lighter after sanding and will blend in with the surrounding
areas within a day or two. If a chemical stain is allowed to dry and soap and wa-
ter do not remove it, the surface can be lightly sanded with 60-grit sandpaper.
Sand the stain in the same direction as the black caulk seams. Sanded areas will
appear lighter after sanding and will blend in with the surrounding areas within
a day or two.
If bleach is used on areas surrounding the teak inlay deck, rst spray the
surface with water to dilute any bleach that may run onto the deck surface. After
cleaning the other area(s) with bleach, re-spray both the bleached surfaces and
the teak surfaces to rinse away any bleach residue. Note that bleach should
never be applied directly to the teak!
Fiberglass Swim Platform
The berglass swim platform requires the same kind of regular—and gentle—
cleaning that the rest of the boat needs. After cleaning o any environmental debris,
wash with mild soap and warm water. Avoid the use of ArmorAll or similar types of
rubber-shine products as these will speed the decay of the rubber rather than protect-
ing it.
Windshield
In cleaning tempered glass windshields, the nor-
mal glass cleaners (from spray bottles or aerosol cans)
work best. While the glass is very strong, it can be
scratched if anything abrasive is used. Harsh chemi-
cals or solvents should be avoided because they may
aect the vinyl gaskets or powder-coated nish on the
extrusions.
More care should be taken when cleaning the clear
Eisenglass curtains, which are an option on some boat
models. Eisenglass curtains are usually made with
clear vinyl sheeting, which is much softer and more
prone to scratching and hazing than the windshield
glass is, only soft cloths and mild detergents should be
used.
