• Backer Pad (Newmar part #018461A)
• Lambswool Mitt (Newmar part #018464)
• Extension Pole (Newmar part #018463)
5. Change the water in your wash bucket often, or place a “dirt guard” in bottom of the bucket to keep the
cleaning pad or wash mitt free of dirt and debris.
IMPORTANT
Absolutely no brushes should be used on the painted surface of your coach, as it will cause damage to the
finish, just as it would an automobile finish. Newmar does not support the use of any style, type, or brush
material, even though it may be marketed as 'RV Safe' or 'Approved.'
CAUTION
The use of any cleaning products outside of Newmar's recommendation is at the customer's discretion.
However, Newmar and BASF take no responsibility for any scratches, swirls, or damage to the finish of the
coach caused by the use of non-recommended products.
DRYING THE RV
Drying your RV is just as important as washing it. Tap water and well water contain many chemicals that could water
stain your coach's finish. After washing, dry your coach with the EZE Squeegee (Newmar part #018462) or a clean
100% leather chamois.
IMPORTANT
You can also use fresh microfiber towels for drying. Please use caution, as these towels are made partially
with polyester (plastic), which can break down over time from extended use and washing, eventually causing
damage to the clear coat finish.
MAINTAINING YOUR DIAMOND SHIELD PAINT PROTECTION
For information on how to maintain your Diamond Shield Paint Protector, refer to the "Paint, Roof, and Siding" sub-
category under the Exterior Category.
WAXING AND POLISHING A COACH
The coating on your coach is a state-of-the-art base coat and Urethane clear coat. The clear coating is designed to
protect the colored base coat, so it needs to be maintained, especially in harsh environments. Clear coats will appear to
fade or lose gloss as the surface becomes contaminated by the environment. A finish that is dull or low in gloss is a
result of contamination. Occasional washing alone will not adequately remove some forms of contamination and will
require polishing of the finish.
The exterior finish of your coach 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.
