Gloss refers to the shine of the surface. This can

change from sanding action, chalk, residues, or

exposure.

Blistering refers to a condition in which the unpro-

tected gel coat surface below the waterline has

absorbed water and formed bubbles. See Sec tion E-2

for additional information.

Follow the instructions below for boats that have

weathered and chalked.

1. Wash.

1. Avoid working in direct sunlight. This dries out the

wax or compound, and can stain the surface.

2. Use clean pads or cloths to apply a thin coat ing of

wax or rubbing com pound to a small area such as

three feet by three feet. Re move any excess, and

per manently dam age the surface.

3. After applying compound, always follow with

waxing.

NOTICE

If using a power buffer, use a low RPM buffer

with light pressure. Keep the pad wet and the

buffer moving at all times to prevent heat build

up.

NOTICE

When sanding, DO NOT use a power or belt

sander. Gouges, uneven areas, or other

C. Stains

Stains can appear anywhere on the exterior of the

boat and may be a result of contact with tar, plant sap,



Surface stains may be removed with hand dishwash-

ing soap, mild cleansers, or some house hold deter-

gents. DO NOT use chlorine or ammo nia products.

These products can affect the color of gel coat.

Commercial car washes use strong cleaners and

should be avoided.

To remove stains, refer to the procedures below.

1. Wash area with hand dishwashing soap.

2. Begin with a small area such as three feet by three

feet and apply a mild cleanser.

3. Rinse with clean water.

4. Follow with compound and waxing as out lined in

procedure above.

If the stain is not removed by the hand dishwash ing

soap or mild cleanser, then the next proce dure is to

use either denatured or rubbing alco hol. If this does

not work, consult your Scarab dealer for professional

assistance.
