MAINTENANCE

The  S9v requires little,  if any,  maintenance.   The  S9v is finished with a durable
painted surface, but it is subject  to oxidation  – just  like an aluminum  antenna.   If
you  notice oxidation  (color becomes lighter),  use a soft cloth  and Armor All

TM

to

restore the  finish.   Automotive  spray  wax  is also an excellent  product to seal and
protect the  finish.   The  antenna  may  also be repainted, if desired, using a quality
exterior spray paint such  as Krylon

TM

or Rustoleum

TM

.
