ABS PANELS
CLEANING THE CARAVAN BODY
It is wise to wash the caravan body regularly
in order to maintain its good looks. Do not
use aggressive cleaning materials as this will
damage the paintwork over time. ‘T Cut’ or
other similar cleaning compounds should
only be used occasionally for stubborn
marks. We suggest that a good quality car
wax, applied at least once a year, will
enhance the paintwork and ease the
cleaning operation.
ABS Panels
ABS components need to be washed, waxed
and taken care of like a car. Most stains or
marks can be removed with mild detergent,
but more stubborn marks may require a (fine
grit) rubbing compound such as T-cut.
To help keep your ABS components looking
almost like new, it is wise to wash the parts
monthly (or more frequently) using mild
detergent, but avoid using strong alkaline
(e.g. tri-sodium phosphate) or acidic cleaners
or abrasives. Waxing the components once
or twice a year with a good grade paste wax
will help to maintain the colour and finish.
BADGES
Resin coated badges are now being widely
used within the caravan industry. Their
upkeep is simple, use soap and water only to
clean them. Under no circumstances should
abrasive cleaners or solvent based solutions
be used on them.
