Default 7 Deadly Sins of Boat Maintenance

Sea Ray sent my latest quarterly magazine with an article on cleaning
materials to avoid. What do you think about their statements?

Disclaimer: Yacht Brite is mentioned several times so it may be a Sea Ray
product or it may be a product they just happen to believe in.

1. Dish Soap: Harmful to fiberglass. Try Yacht Brites Brite Wash instead.

2. Windex: Harmful to plastic. Unless your windows are made of glass, try
Yacht Brites Serious shine.

3. Paper Towels: Too harsh for Isinglass and windshields. Try washable
microfiber towels.

4. Not important.

5. Soft Scrub: Too abrasive. Try Yacht Brites Pro Polish to clean, seal,
and polish fiberglass and gel coat surfaces.

6. Pledge: Damages Isinglass. See no. 2.

7. Procrastination and Neglect. Even a quick rinse is better than nothing.
Break boat chores into small projects.
