Caring for your Marine Glass or Acrylic Windows, Windscreens & Doors
Acrylic
Here at ALFAB, our recommended cleaning method of your acrylic boat windscreen or marine windows is to use soap or household detergent in warm water and to wipe down using a soft clean cloth or cotton wool. Regular cleaning with fresh water and a soft cloth will protect the product, keeping it looking newer for longer.
- Materials or brushes of a harsh nature are not recommended as they will abrase the acrylic surface.
- Organic cleaning agents, such as acetone or thinners must not be used as they will attack all grades of acrylic sheet.
- Cleaning or polishing agents in pressure cans are also not recommended.
Glass
Regular cleaning your marine glass with fresh water and a soft cloth will protect the product, keeping it looking newer for longer.
- Use commercial glass cleaners (eg, Windex).
- Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasives or metal scrapers (eg, razor blades).
Maintenance
- Keep the tracks and seals free from grit, dust and grime.
- Lubricate tracks and contact surfaces with a silicone spray regularly to assist the moving glass panels.
- Do NOT use harsh cleaners with high alkaline or acidity content (ie. Truck Wash) to wash windows or tracks.
