Choosing The
Right Cloth
The 3M™ Marine High
Performance Cleaning
Cloth may cost a little more
than using an old T-shirt
for a cleaning rag, but it’s
more effective. Its unique
bi-component microfibers
and knit construction pro-
vide excellent dust, water
and oil pickup. The cloth
may be used dry or damp,
with or without cleaning
chemicals.
The high-performance
cloth is terrific for removing
solvents, dust and abrasive
residues, waxes and finger-
prints. When the cloth is
dirty, just throw it in the
washing machine. It can be
used hundreds of times.
Now your boat’s surface is
truly clean.

One of the toughest
places to clean on a boat
is the non-skid surface
area. Most newer boats
incorporate a liberal
amount of
non-skid
surfaces to
prevent slip-
ping and
falling into
the water.
Cleaning
these areas
is another
job for a
heavy-duty
cleaner.
Non-skid
surfaces fea-
ture high-
friction textured material
that traps dirt and grime ,
and can be difficult to
remove. If the non-skid
material is in a high-traf-
fic zone, the dirt can be
ground-in, which reduces
the effectiveness of the
non-skid surface.
Do not use household
cleaners on non-skid sur-
faces because they may
contain wax that will
make the non-skid sur-
face slippery.
Household
cleaners can
also damage
the gelcoat.
3M™
Marine Non-
Skid Cleaner
is a tough,
effective
cleaner that
features a
unique
chemical for-
mula for fast
results. It
cleans hard-to-reach
ground-in dirt and stains
on non-skid decks. Yet it’s
safe to use on fiberglass,
metal and painted sur-
faces. Just pour it on,
brush it in, and rinse thor-
oughly with clean water,
and you are ready to go.
