If the pontoon is stored outside in cooler weather, bring it into a warm shop\/garage and give the aluminum sufficient time to rise to an acceptable temperature. It is important that the PontoonGuard and the aluminum tubes of the pontoon are at the same temperature during the application process.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo keep your PontoonGuard looking new, clean with mild soap and water.
