First, test the suitability of the cleaning agent on an inconspicuous spot.
Only clean external applications and synthetic parts with plenty of warm
water, dish washing liquid and soft cloth.
Wash down the vehicle with plenty of water, a clean sponge or a soft
brush. In the case of stubborn dirt add dish washing liquid to the water.
Painted exterior walls may also be cleaned with a caravan cleaner.
Treat rubber seals on doors and storage flaps with a conventional rub-
ber care product.
Treat locking cylinder of doors and storage flaps with graphite dust.
11.1.4 Windows of acrylic glass
Acrylic glass windows are delicate and require very careful handling.
Never rub acrylic glass windows dry as dust particles might damage the
surface.
Only clean acrylic glass windows with plenty of warm water, some dish
washing liquid and a soft cloth.
Never use glass cleaning agents with chemical, abrasive or alcohol-con-
taining additives. Premature brittleness of the panes and associated
cracks may result from their use.
Avoid contact of cleansing agents used for the body (e.g. tar- or silicone-
removing agents) with acrylic glass.
Do not clean vehicle in car wash.
Do not attach stickers to the acrylic glass windows.
Having cleaned the vehicle rinse acrylic glass with sufficient clear water.
Treat rubber seals with a conventional rubber care product.
An acrylic glass cleanser with antistatic effect is suitable for a follow-up
treatment. Small scratches can be treated with an acrylic glass polish.
These agents are available at the accessories shop.
11.1.5 Add-on parts made of glass-fibre reinforced plastic (GRP)
Avoid contact between polish and window rubber and piping.
The glass-fibre reinforced plastic (GRP) may not become too hot. There-
fore when polishing with a polishing machine, keep the machine in con-
stant motion.
GRP add-on parts can turn yellow or become weather-worn due to insuffi-
cient care for the vehicle or ageing of the material.
GRP add-on parts should therefore undergo regular follow-up treatment.
This way, these parts will not turn yellow and the sealing of the surface re-
mains intact.
