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.
1. Dish soap removes wax... I agree. I use Woody's Boat Wash
2. Used it for many years and never had an issue.....disagree
3. Same as #2....disagree
4. Agree this is unimportant
5. Agree.... I use Magic Eraser
6. Same as #2 ....disagree
7. I was going to wash the boat but I read this newsgroup instead
