Press Release Summary: Weiman Products offers some timely tips to get your vessel
shipshape in no time.

Press Release Body: After months in storage, even the freshest boat can emerge
covered in dust, dirt, mold and cobwebs. Weiman® Products (http://www.weiman.com)
offers some timely tips to get your vessel shipshape in no time.

Step 1: Clean out the Dust & Cobwebs
Start by sweeping up loose dirt and cobwebs. You can also use a damp cloth to wipe
down exposed seating and consoles. This may seem time-consuming, but clearing away
dirt and dust as a first step will prevent dust from settling on the exterior of
your boat as you clean.

Electronics or controls located on exposed consoles should be cleaned with an
ammonia-free formula designed to clean gently while repelling dust and dirt, like
Weiman® E-tronic Wipes. Products in wipe form make for quick clean-up and can be
stored on the boat. They also work great on CD/DVD players, computer screens and
TVs you may have onboard.

Step 2: Scrub the Fiberglass
To clean the exterior, mix a cup of mild detergent with a gallon of warm water. Use
a sponge to scrub the fiberglass. To remove mildew, include a cup of household
bleach with the detergent solution.

For stubborn stains caused by fish blood or scum, use a heavy duty cleaner designed
specifically for fiberglass. Be sure to use a non-abrasive formula to avoid
scratches in the fiberglass.

Step 3: Pay Attention to the Details
Now that the interior is dust-free and the fiberglass is shining brightly, use
specialty cleaning products to make details sparkle.

Glass
.Use a no-drip glass cleaner to remove fingerprints, smudges, dust and dirt left on
the windshield from last year. Weiman® Professional Glass Cleaner leaves a
streak-free shine along with a protective barrier that makes glass and mirrors less
susceptible to visual marks and easier to clean in the future.
.If possible, clean glass and mirrors on a cloudy day to prevent the cleaning
solution from drying too quickly. Also, cooler weather prevents streaking.

Boat Hardware
.Use a gentle, all-purpose polish like Wright's® Silver Cream to remove tarnish from
numerous surfaces, including chrome, aluminum and stainless steel.
.Dampen a sponge or clean cloth and dip into polishing cream. Spread the cream onto
the surface and gently rub it in until tarnish disappears and surface is shiny.
