Clear Vinyl Boat Windows
 
Vinyl is a UV-sensitive material which degrades when exposed to sunlight.
   
A vinyl's topcoat holds in plasticizers, softening agents which keep vinyl supple.
   
Clear vinyl has NO topcoat. (The one exception to this rule is Strata glass, which has a protective coating. Unless other wise noted, the advise in this article applies only to untreated clear vinyl and therefore excludes Strata glass.)
 
Unlike regular safety glass which has a fairly hard surface and resists scratching, and even your vinyl seats which have a top-coat to protect the underlying material, a vinyl window requires a protective coating to separate it from the elements.
Cleaning Procedure
 
   
At BoatDocs1 we start off by removing as much of the loose dirt as possible with a fine water spray. It's best to wet the entire surface giving the water time to soften anything stuck to the window.
   
Next gently wash the surface with a mild soap and water solution.
