Clean and Prepare the Slide Surface

What happens here

Thoroughly clean the entire surface of the pool slide to remove any dirt, grime, mildew, algae, body oils, or loose paint flakes. A good cleaning solution, such as an all-purpose cleaner or a degreaser formulated for plastic/fiberglass, combined with a scrub brush, will ensure a pristine surface. Rinse the slide extensively with a water hose to remove all cleaning solution and debris, then allow it to dry completely. For optimal paint adhesion, lightly sand the entire surface with fine-grit sandpaper (e.g., 220-grit) to create a mechanical bond for the paint, followed by another rinse and complete drying.

Goal: Ensure a clean, smooth, and adhesion-ready surface for painting
