12. Maintenance and Care 189
Use polish only in special cases and as seldom as possible,
because polish removes the top layer of varnish. Polishing
too often will result in wear and tear.
The following applies for damages
• Repair damages immediately to avoid further damages due
to corrosion. Ask your HOBBY dealer for assistance.
The following applies for tar and resin stains
• Tar and resin stains as well as other organic stains can be
removed with petroleum ether or spirits.
Do not use aggressive solutions such as products contai-
ning ester or ketone.
Skylights, windows, mirrors and doors
Window panes require particularly careful treatment.
The following applies for their care
• Rub the rubber seals around doors and windows lightly
with talcum powder.
The following applies when polishing the surfaces
• In exceptional cases, use polish to refinish weathered varnis
-
hed surfaces. We recommend solvent-free polishing paste.
• Clean acrylic glass panes only with a clean, wet sponge and
a soft cloth. Cleaning with a dry cloth may scratch the panes.
Wash panes and mirrors with pure water only. Never use
aggressive cleaning agents that include softeners or solvents!
Never use razor blades to clean the mirror or window
panes! Wipe mirrors and windows with a damp microfibre
cloth or leather cloth, wiping in circles. Do not use any
cleaning solutions.
You will find talcum powder in auto accessory shops.
Roof
To prevent the varnish on the roof of the mobile home from
corroding, the roof plate should be cleaned at least once
a year.
The following applies for cushions, upholstery and curtains
• Clean cushions with a soft brush or hoover.
Cleaning the interior
To reduce problems arising from dampness, use water
sparingly when cleaning inside.
