Optional Acrylic Enclosure
Acrylic Windshields: washing and care.
1. If you have been offshore, be sure to spray the windshield liberally
with a hose to melt and wash away any salt crystals.
2. Mix a little detergent in a bucket of warm water. If there is any debris
stuck on the windshield, take some time to wet it out and soak before
removing it with a microfiber cloth. Use an up and down motion to
clean the windshield. Do not over-clean since this will add more
scratches.
3. With a dry microfiber cloth apply a good acrylic polish such as Novus.
This polish comes in three variants: #1 for everyday clean and shine,
#2 to remove fine scratches and #3 for heavy scratches. These will
be available at most marine stores. The rule of thumb is that if your
fingernail hangs up on the scratch, it is not repairable.
4. Crazing:Thisiswhentheacrylicglintsasyougotowardsthe

be sure to provide some ventilation since fuel vapors attack acrylics.
Crazing is not repairable.
