How to use it
Preparing Your Clears
-
Inspect Your Clears: Before starting, closely inspect the clears for any significant damage such as deep scratches or tears. The Captain Clears kit is ideal for maintenance cleaning and minor imperfections.
-
Rinse with Water: Gently rinse your clears with fresh water to remove any loose dirt or debris. This step prevents scratching the surface when applying the cleaner.
Applying the Clears Cleaner
-
Shake the Cleaner: Shake the bottle of Clears Cleaner well to ensure the formula is thoroughly mixed.
-
Apply Cleaner to Towel: Pour a moderate amount of the Clears Cleaner onto one of the microfibre white polish towels. Ensure the towel is clean and lint-free to avoid leaving residues.
-
Clean the Clears: Gently wipe the clears with the towel in a circular motion. Focus on areas with noticeable dirt, grime, or salt deposits. The circular motion helps lift and remove contaminants effectively.
-
Wipe Dry: After cleaning, use a dry side of the microfibre towel or another clean towel to wipe the surface dry. This prevents water spots and ensures the clears are ready for polishing.
Applying the Clears Polish
-
Shake the Polish: Shake the Clears Polish bottle well before use to mix the formula evenly.
-
Apply Polish to Towel: Apply a small amount of the Clears Polish onto a clean, lint-free microfibre white polish towel. A little goes a long way, so start with less and add more if needed.
-
Buff the Clears: Buff the clears gently with the towel in circular motions. Work in small sections to ensure an even application and focus on removing minor imperfections.
-
Final Buff: Use a clean side of the towel or a fresh towel to give the surface a final buff. This will enhance the shine and clarity of the clears, leaving a high-gloss finish.
Post-Cleaning Care
-
Inspect Your Work: After polishing, inspect the clears to ensure all areas are clean, clear, and free from streaks or residue.
-
Storage: Store the Clears Cleaner, Clears Polish, and microfibre towels in a cool, dry place. Ensure the caps are tightly closed to prevent the formulas from drying out.
Tips for Best Results
- Always use the microfibre towels provided in the kit for cleaning and polishing to avoid scratching the clears.
- Perform the cleaning and polishing process in a shaded area to prevent the products from drying too quickly, which could leave residue.
- Regular maintenance with the Captain Clears bundle will prolong the life and appearance of your boat's clears.
