Detailers

Its really only good on fixed panels. I added it to my front. Sides and back is strata. It is also over 3 times the cost of strata. So you can replace strata 3 times and not equal cost of mackrolon.
 
Well that was a healthy lesson. Guess I have no choice but to use the Strata cause it would not be for fixed panels. All four of them can be rolled up or down.
 
I got the makralon on my 3 front panels. It is clearer than my glass windshield. No conparison to strataglass. Apples and oranges from a clarity standpoint. I go out at night alot, and when the temps drop it is great to be able to see at night thru the makrolon and not freeze my !?rb2@gr5t&rb2@gr5t& off. My canvss guy set up my center panel to fold up to my radar arch, so i can easily open this panel. Even easier than rolling strataglass. His price on my 3 panels was half other quotes i got. If anyone is interested in talking to my canvas guy, feel free to PM me for his name and number. He does great vinyl seat work as well. He wil be doing mine as soon as i am willing to spend the green. Probably after this season. He even has the machine to sew the sea ray logo into the seat backs so they look factory made. Oh no, I sound like Rob with Waves and Wheels...... :).
 
Grail,
Strata requires a special cleaner and a special wax. Don't wash the glass with just any soap, see their website for instructions.
 
Haha, Having passion towards a vendor is a great thing. Shows customer loyalty that can not be bought. Also gives other potential customers insight.

Do i really mention Dean from Waves and Wheels alot ?

Rob
 
No Rob, it has been at leaat 15 minutes since you mentioned them. We all think you get $10 towards your next detail every time you type their name or get one of us to type thier name. In fact it must be killing you having me refer to them over and over again without mentioning their name. Ok, i will thow you a bone: i have used Waves & Wheels and they really do an amazing job!
 
Yes I do roll them Rob. Jeff, sounds like a really cool idea to have them set them up to fold up, not roll up. Have to look into that concept. I think rolling them up destroys them over the long term.
 
Brian,
In the heat they dont stick together ? Im alittle nutty ( no comments ) when i roll my back drop up I lay a towel or a sheet inbetween. If u can do the hard stuff its truly worth it

Rob
 
Rob, when you roll your back drop, do you have it set up to come completely off or to fully roll to the hard top or radar arch?? If you leave it rolled up to the hard top, do you find its a struggle with the extra thickness of the towel to get the strap to fit?

On mine, I have sections that are able to fully roll up to the arch.

This is why I love my center console. No canvas to worry about. Just one little piece over my electronics, and one over the rear seat. Less then 20 seconds and both are off and on...
 
Matt,
I take it completely down. Then i have to argue with the wife about where to store it. Its all new glass so I tend to store it in the FWD salon. That doesnt sit well with HER !!! IF i roll it and leave it on the seat, someone ends up sitting on it . ( then the fight begins) IT was once stored ( NOT by ME ) on the dash. It becoame a creased mess that just never looked the same since.

So yea I got issues ....

Rob
 
Thats why its easier to just not use the boat. :)

When I take mine completely down, I either lay it in the aft cabin or the v berth.
 
I'm thinking I might have Frank make the hard glass so I can fold it back and snap em on to the top canvas pieces?

Straping them back works on my center panel, because it is rectangle in shape. The left and right panels are an odd shape, so there was no way to fold them back, so on hot days i take them down and lay them flat with clean towels separating them from each other on the forward berth. The makralon does scratch, so you have to be careful with them. I too am pretty nutz with this stuff, but when it is taken care of, it looks great and visibility is better than glass! I got my 3 pieces of makralon for $1,200, which is not cheap, but it was worth it!
