Polishes and waxes primarily serve the following purposes:
•
To remove minor surface imperfections caused by water spots and acid rain
•
To remove minor scratches by filling them and leveling the surface
•
To seal the pores of the finish creating an easier-to-clean surface
•
To beautify the paint finish appearance with more depth and high gloss
•
To protect the paint finish from the elements
Do not use products that contain harsh abrasives such as rubbing compounds. These products should be
used by an experienced technician with proper training and equipment. Most polishes and waxes are
designed to clean and polish in one application, whether by hand or machine.
A machine applied polish will last longer than one applied by hand because the high RPM of the buffing
wheel creates heat, resulting in a deeper film with higher gloss. However, a hand-applied polish or wax will
offer outstanding performance and protect the motor home’s finish.
When applying polish or wax, do so in a shaded area making sure the motor home surface is at the
specified temperature according to the polish manufacturer’s recommendations. Due to the variations of
polishes and waxes, incorporate the following suggestions into the polishing technique:
•
Condition the polishing pad by rubbing a slight amount of polish on it
•
Use only the amount of polish specified in the label directions
•
Work a small area at a time
•
Rinse off and remove dried polish from crevices, trim and moldings
For optimum results refrain from waxing or polishing for 60 days from date of manufactur.
Additional precautions you should take with your motor home include:
•
Avoid parking under trees or near ocean salt spray
•
Ice or snow should not be scraped or brushed from the painted surface
•
Gravel roads should be avoided
•
Anti-freeze, fuel or window solvents if spilled on the painted surface should be rinsed off
immediately with water. Do not wipe dry
