Operating Panel Openings

Read the below information thoroughly for recommended cleaning procedures that will insure years of clarity and enjoyment from your new Costa Clear^® Elite Series Enclosure. Contact your sales person for clarification pertaining to any information you may question.

The use of a dedicated wash mitt is highly recommended. This prevents unwanted dirt and debris from being wiped on to the glass. Wash brushes are not recommended as they may cause scratches. A mild solution of boat wash is acceptable. If you desire to dry enclosure the use of chamois cloths or water blades work well.

We recommend a monthly polish of the enclosure with Costa Clear^® Cleaner and Polish. This will both clean the glass and apply a protective coat. Simply spray on and wipe off with clean towel. For a longer lasting finish, wax the clear acrylic with Collinite^® brand Insulator wax (#845). Apply the wax to freshly cleaned panels one panel at a time -allow it to dry to a haze and buff off. This should be done when panels are in the shade. The insulator wax is a pure wax with no cleaners - so again, make sure panels are clean before applying. Products like Rain-ex are not recommended.

For minor scratches, we recommend the use of Novus^® #2 Fine Scratch Remover. Simply apply in circular motion and buff off. For heavier scratches, there is Novus^® #3 Heavy Scratch Remover. Apply with back and forth strokes at right angle to visible scratches. Follow up with application of Novus^® #2 in circular motion.
