How to clean your PVC or hypalon dinghy or RIB?
Step 1. Liquid RIB is specially designed to give dirty hypalon and PVC tubes a new finish. It removes salt deposits, dirt and oxidation. Instruction: Spray directly onto the surface and wipe with a clean, lint-free cloth with a swirling motion, then rinse with clean water. Step 2. We recommend treating the boat with LR Sealer Coat afterwards. This creates an invisible coating on the tubes. This means you don’t have to clean the tubes as often, you just need to rinse the tubes with clean water. Instruction: Use sparingly. 1. Clean the surface to be treated with August Race Liquid RIB and let it dry 2. Apply to a lint-free cloth (in non-direct sunlight) and wipe the tube to get an even coverage, then polish for a high gloss finishing 3. reapply if necessary.
