The exterior of your coach is designed and constructed to be a durable, protective shield
for the interior. It protects your coach from the environment and prevents water from
entering your coach and damaging its contents. It is attractive, easy to maintain and time
spent cleaning and inspecting is minimal.
After every trip you should wash the exterior of your coach. Use mild soap and water -
never an abrasive cleanser. Be careful not to spray water directly into louvers and vents.
While washing the coach check for damage to the skin, caps, skirts, and moldings.
If you use a tar or road oil remover, make sure that the product is safe for painted surfaces.
WARNING: In the first thirty days that you own your coach do not use an automatic
wash. Stiff brushes or sponges may damage the surface. Do not wax or
polish the coach for the first sixty days.
The Trek is coated with a very durable polyurethane paint and acrylic urethane clear coat.
No wax is necessary. For the first six months to a year all that the coach will need is to be
washed occasionally. After that, you may wish to polish the coach every other year to
keep it looking its best. Use a good polishing compound, not a wax.
When cleaning the exterior do not neglect the exposed metal. Usually all that is necessary
is the same soap and water solution used on the rest of the coach.
