Wrong cleaners cloud clear vinyl permanently and weaken thread in Sunbrella.
When DIY is not enough
Heavy mildew, green algae on hull sides, or rust streaks that won't lift need decontamination beyond a dock wash — that's where professional detailing pays for itself.
DIY steps
- Brush loose dirt from canvas before wetting.
- Use manufacturer-approved isinglass polish in small circles with microfiber.
- Allow canvas to dry fully before folding to prevent mildew.
- Inspect stitching and zippers seasonally — catch failures before a blow.
