303 Water Strider Boat Cleaner Directions
and Additional Information on Vinyl
Directions:
Rinse thoroughly to
remove loose particulate solid/debris. While the area to be cleaned is
still wet, apply 303 Cleaner evenly over the entire area. Agitate
lightly with a damp soft nylon brush, terry cloth rag or sponge. Rinse
thoroughly with clear water until no foam is observed. For very
difficult soiling (bird droppings, tree sap, oil, food and beverage
stains, mildew, air pollution), after rinsing apply 303 Top Cleaner
direct to the area and let stand for 10-20 minutes, then scrub lightly
to loosen the soiling/stain. Again, rinse thoroughly (always rinse
before the surface dries).
Note: warmer
temperatures, agitation and longer dwell times aid the cleaning action;
in cold climates (below 55 degrees F.) allow 303 Top Cleaners to work
longer before rinsing.
Caution: Do not scrape
fabric or vinyl with tools, sandpaper , steel wool or cleansers which
may cause permanent damage.
Additional
Information:
Vinyl is a plastic
made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Vinyl is manufactured in different
ways in a number of forms and in varying qualities for thousands of
uses. A vinyl's topcoat holds in plasticizers, softening agents which
keep vinyl supple.
Vinyl is a UV-sensitive
material which degrades when exposed to sunlight. Maintaining the
integrity of the topcoat and protecting against UV damage are the keys
to keeping vinyl looking and performing "like new".
Simple Cleaning:
Keeping vinyl clean is
an important part of routine maintenance. Dirt acts as an abrasive and
can also wear out the thread in seams. Mildew grows on damp, dirty
vinyl.
Recommended vinyl
cleaning method:
-
Rinse with cool
water.
-
Wash with soap (not
detergent) and water
using a soft cloth
or sponge. For
stubborn dirt, a
soft bristle brush
may be used.
-
Rinse thoroughly
with water and allow
to dry.
-
Avoid harsh
cleaners, abrasives,
petroleum
distillates and
alcohols.
