SHIM INSTRUCTIONS

CLEAN UPAFTER BASE INSTALLATION
Toavoiddullingandscratchingtheacrylicsurfaceofthebase,neveruseabrasivecleaners. Amildliquiddetergent
and warm water clean soiled surfaces.
Remove spilled plaster with a wood or plastic edge. Metal tools scratch the surface. Spots left by plaster or grout
can be removed if lightly rubbed with detergent on a damp cloth or sponge.
Paint, tar, or other difficult stains can be removed with paint thinner, turpentine, or isopropyl alcohol (rubbing
alcohol).
Minor scratches which do not penetrate the color finish can be removed by lightly sanding with 600-grit wet/dry
sandpaper. You can restore the glossy finish to the acrylic surface of the base with a special compound, Meguiar’s
#10 Mirror Glaze. If not available, use automotive rubbing compound followed by an application of automotive paste
wax.
Major scratches and gouges which penetrate the acrylic surface require refinishing. See your Jacuzzi Whirlpool
Bath©dealer for special instructions.
