    CARE AND UPKEEP OF FIBERGLASS REINFORCED PANELS

    Keeping the exterior surface of Gel Coated finished panels is easy, with a little care and attention to detail.
    Following the simple periodic maintenance tips and practices listed below can minimize many of the detrimental
    effects of weather, the environment, general wear and tear. The Gel Coat is an acceptable weather resistant exterior
    that with proper care will give years of services.

    Tip #1 Regularly inspect your unit for signs of damage, nicks, scrapes, stains, deterioration around
    fasteners, breakdown of caulking or general signs of moisture intrusion into the panels.

    Tip #2 Although Tedlar is extremely stain resistant, the stain should be removed as soon as
    possible, as prolonged exposure in sunlight can modify some stains, making them more
    difficult to remove.

    Tip #3 When not in use, keep your Gelcoat surfaced vehicle out of the sun or covered with a canvas
    tarpaulin. Do not use sheet plastic or other non-porous materials, which can trap moisture
    between the cover and the surface.

    Tip #4 Wash the surface with a mild detergent. For best results, use a cleaner recommended for
    fiberglass, following the label directions. Do not use automatic dishwasher detergent,
    abrasives, bleaches, and strong chemicals with acid-bases or ammonia.

    Tip #5 Wash at least twice yearly to restore gloss and protect the finish. Use only wax recommended for
    fiberglass and follow instructions carefully, such as Mother’s California Gold Carnuba Cleaner
    Wax, Boat Armor Paste-Boat Wax and Mequiars Mirror Glase.

    Tip #6 Minor scratches and nicks can be easily repaired and painted over following simple
    procedures outlined in Fiber-Tech’s repair manuals. Visit our website at
    www.Fiber-Tech.net or contact Fiber-Tech’s Customer Service Department at
