Out of the Box Cleaning Tips

Sometimes a little elbow grease might be necessary to remove ground in dirt or grease. For those instances, we found that a little Cascade or Janitor in a Drum were great solutions to take care of the job!

For Stains:

If your Stowe Cargo System has a stain that can’t be removed using any of the recommended cleaners above, try using a soft cloth saturated with 45% Isopropyl rubbing alcohol. Focus directly on the stain, rubbing the area until it is gone. Then, rinse. When using this stain removal method, avoid using commercial grade concentrates higher than 45% as they could potentially harm your system.

Surface Scratches:

While frustrating, scratches can sometimes be unavoidable. Light scratches on your Stowe Cargo System can be buffed out by waxing the panel surfaces with a paste wax. We recommend Simonize, Glo-Coat and Aero Wax.

Graffiti:
