Polishing your RV
If painted surfaces have been severely damaged and have lost their original luster
and color tone, polish the surface lightly with a fine polishing compound. Avoid
limiting your polishing to the damaged surface only; polish a somewhat wider area,
moving the polishing cloth in one direction. After polishing, flush the compound
from the surface and apply a coat of wax to regain a beautiful luster.
Damaged paint
To prevent corrosion, touch up small cracks and scratches in the paint coat as
soon as possible with touch-up film or paint. Carefully check the body areas facing
the road and the tires for damage to the paint coat caused by flying stones, etc. To
purchase touch-up paint, use the closest automotive paint (available locally) match
possible.
Cleaning plastic parts
Use a sponge or chamois to clean plastic parts. Use warm water and a soft cloth
or chamois to remove any white residue from dark colored plastic surfaces.
Do not use a scrubbing brush or other hard tools as they may damage the plastic
surface. Do not use wax containing abrasives that may damage the plastic
surface.
Chrome parts (if so equipped)
To prevent chrome parts from spotting or corroding, wash with water, dry
thoroughly, and apply a non-abrasive automotive wax. If the chrome is severely
damaged or pitted, use a commercially available chrome polish product.
Stone Guard (if so equipped)
Wash the stone guard with mild liquid dishwashing soap or liquid car washing
soap and water. Do not use powdered detergent, powdered soap, liquid and
spray cleaners or pressure washing. Wax frequently to protect the surface and
make cleaning easier.
CAUTION
Do not use waxes containing high-abrasive compounds. Such waxes
remove rust and stains effectively, but they are also harmful to the luster of
the surface, since they may scrape off the coating. Further, they are
detrimental to glossy surfaces, such as the grille, garnish, moldings, etc. Do
not use gasoline or paint thinners to remove road tar or other contamination
to the painted surface.
CAUTION
Do not use a buffer and a buffing compound as it may damage the exterior
surface. Please contact a professional paint body shop for assistance.
CAUTION
Do not allow plastic to come into contact with brake fluid, engine oil, grease,
paint thinner, or battery acid. These will damage plastic. Use a soft cloth
and a mild detergent solution to wipe away any such contact.
