15.1  GENERAL POINTS

15.1.1  Polyester

- Regularly brush the deck using a gentle de-greasing agent then rinse the deck with fresh 

water.

- Use as few cleaning agents as possible.

- Don't use solvents or aggressive detergent agents.

- Don't discharge cleaning agents into the water: Consult the harbourmaster's office to find out 

the conditions of water use and the maintenance area for cleaning your vessel.

- Don't use a pressure washer.

15.1.2  Plexiglas (PMMA)

- Rinse plexiglas with fresh water.

- Use a polish paste for thin scratches.

- Consult your dealer concerning deep scratches.

15.1.3  STAINLESS STEEL

Stainless steel is an alloy of iron and carbon (steel) with the addition of chromium. This 

chromium provokes the formation of a protective film which separates the steel from the 

atmosphere outside. This coating is usually invisible as it's so thin. So in spite of its name this 

steel is not stainless and requires a minimum of maintenance:

- The use of chrome tools is preferable whenever handling stainless steel ;

- Re-nourish the protective film regularly with passivation paste.

ADVICE-RECOMMENDATION

Never use solvents, alcohol, acetone or detergents on the plexiglass.
