Washing and Waxing Procedure
- When performing any maintenance procedures be sure to exercise caution and initiate all safety measures appropriate for each individual task.
- With a soft broom remove all debris from the entire water ride.
- Wash and rinse the entire water ride thoroughly from top to bottom using a non-abrasive cleaning agent such as automotive or marine soap. This should be paired with non-abrasive cleaning tools like soft mops, rags or sponges. A pressure washer can be used for the ride exterior at a pressure less than 2000 psi. Non-skid and walking surfaces can be cleaned with a soft-bristle brush.
- When the cleaning is complete, the entire ride should be examined for discoloration, stains or damage. Address each issue as needed.
- Once the ride has been examined, apply a coat of high quality automotive/marine wax with UV protectant. Care must be exercised to follow all manufacturer’s instructions when applying the wax.
