Care

- Algae, mould and mildew stains damage the sprayhood and tarpaulin, reduce watertightness and increase the risk of mildew on the sail.
- Professional cleaning is expensive and takes weeks; self-cleaning with special tarpaulin cleaners is cheaper and protects the seams better than chlorine cleaners.
- Regular impregnation every two to three years prevents moisture penetration, makes cleaning easier and reduces the breeding ground for algae and mould.

- Dirty GRP anti-slip decks cannot be cleaned sufficiently with normal brushes and polish, especially in the recesses.  
- Water-based abrasive polish without wax, with a hard brush in a cordless screwdriver, alternating the direction of rotation and working in small areas is effective.  
- Then remove polish residues thoroughly with water, dry, apply polymer sealant and check the result; mask off wooden parts beforehand.
