Stains
Stains are generally caused by two types of substances - water soluble and non-water soluble.
Water soluble stains can usually be washed away with water and mild detergent. Follow the
washing with wax.
Non-water soluble stains usually oil-based. Removal of this type of stain may require the use of
highly flammable or poisonous solvents. Refer this type of service to your dealer or an authorized
Outdoors RV dealer. Never use strong solvents or abrasives to clean plastic surfaces.
Exterior Graphic Care
The pressure sensitive graphics installed on the exterior surface of your trailer require little
maintenance and should be treated similarly to a painted surface. Following are some guidelines to
help you keep your exterior graphics looking new.
1. Wash your graphics with any mild car wash soap solution. Be sure to rinse
thoroughly.
2. Keep high-pressure wash nozzles at least 1 1/2 feet from the edge of the graphics.
High pressure spray may cause the edge of the graphic to lift and peel away from the
wall surface. We highly recommend that graphic material be hand washed, as you
risk the graphic material lifting and/or peeling when using a high pressure washer.
Graphic materials that are damaged from high pressure washing is not considered a
warrantable repair.
3. Test any cleaning solution on a small section of the graphic before using the cleaning
solution on a larger surface.
4. Do not use any aromatic solvents such as acetone, MEK, toluene, paint thinner,
lacquer thinner on your graphics. Any solvent of this type may soften or smear colors.
5. Do not paint over graphics with clear or any other type of paint.
6. Do not let gasoline or other fuel drip or stay on graphics for any length of time. If a
spill occurs, wipe off and rinse with water immediately.
7. Do not apply wax over graphics, especially if the wax contains any petroleum
distillates. Wax that has dried between stripes can be removed by softening it with
rubbing (isopropyl) alcohol and cotton swabs. Be sure to rinse the area after cleaning.
8. Be careful when storing your trailer. The graphic materials should be protected from
prolonged direct sunlight and heat.
