What to include when asking about a boat, RV, aircraft, or powersport vehicle

Specialty vehicles combine materials that may need different care: gelcoat, painted aluminum, composites, acrylic, vinyl, rubber, non-skid surfaces, polished metal, and sensitive graphics.

Identify the surface and its condition, storage, freshwater or saltwater exposure, UV exposure, previous products, and manufacturer restrictions. Photos of both the overall area and a close detail are especially helpful. Aviation work also requires strict attention to approved products and procedures.
