Its smooth top surface of acrylic is tough and durableand contains concentrated color. This is supported by asubstantial thickness of fiberglass-reinforced polyesterresin. A catalyst causes a chemical reaction during manu-facture that bonds these layers permanently into a hard,strong material. With a minimum amount of care andcleaning, your whirlpool spa will look new for years.To clean your spa, simply use a mild, nonabrasiveliquid detergent, or commercially prepared spa cleaner.Do not use abrasive cleaners. You can protect andrestore the gloss to a dulled surface by applying Meguiar’s#10 Mirror Glaze, which is a product specifically designedfor use on acrylic finishes.

This may be applied to the acrylicsurface with a soft cloth and wiped clean. Use sparingly insmall amounts to avoid contaminating the spa water. Ifheavily soiled, it may be advisable to lower the water level2–3 inches before cleaning, then refill to normal level.Repairs to the AcrylicMinor scratches which do not penetrate the color finish(acrylic) can be removed with 600-grit wet/dry sandpaper.Restore the glossy finish with Meguiar’s #10 Mirror Glaze.If that is not available, use automotive rubbing compoundfollowed by an application of automotive paste wax.Major scratches or gouges which penetrate the acrylicsurface will require refinishing.
