HAPPY EASTER FROM WIND VEST

Wishing Everyone a Happy and Safe Easter Holiday! Tips to keeping your WindVest Looking like New The best way to keep your WindVest looking like new is to start by cleaning it with mild soap and water. Treat it like you would your paint. You can use a non-abrasive wax or a detail spray. We recommend Novus #1 for cleaning and conditioning. Stay away from any alcohol based products, such as window cleaner. The screen is an open pored product and could get a hazy look. It's ok in a pinch. If you are at a gas station DO NOT be tempted to use the squeegee. This will scratch the screen.
