Waxing
The exterior finish will require a routine waxing. When water will not bead
and roll off a freshly washed vehicle, a new coat of wax is needed. Wax not
only improves the appearance of the vehicle, but it also protects the finish
against oxidation and corrosive materials. The recommended type of wax is
one that is compatible with painted or gel-coated fiberglass finishes, and
contains a UV (ultra-violet) inhibitor. Buffing with a polishing compound will
improve a dull or discolored finish.
IMPORTANT
When using a polishing compound that does not contain a wax preservative,
reapplying a coat of hard wax after polishing is recommended.
Seals
The seals around doors, windows, vents, slide out trim and external seams
should be checked at least twice a year. In addition, the roof seams should be
inspected twice a year for cracking or peeling. If deterioration is noted during
a routine maintenance inspection, reseal the seams or seals with an approved
sealant to prevent leaks. Your dealer can perform the resealing inspections and
work for you. It is recommended that a Newmar Authorized Service Center
perform these inspections, and reseal when necessary.
