How to Maintain, Care for, and
Repair the Finish on your
Fleetwood RV
DuPont ChromaSystem® provides superior pro-
tection against the elements your recreational
vehicle will face throughout its life. To make
sure you maximize the benefits of the DuPont
ChromaSystem®, use the following guide to
take care of your finish.
• Wash your vehicle often, especially when
exposed to salty, dusty, acidic or alkaline
environments.
• When washing your vehicle, use commer-
cially available car wash soaps specifically
designed for washing cars. These soaps are
non-abrasive and have a neutral pH (non
acidic or alkaline) detergent. Do not use
solvent based solutions for washing large
areas.
• During the first 30 days when the finish
is still fresh, clean the vehicle with water
rinse only. Pressure washers used when
paint is still fresh could affect the finish.
Avoid high pressure too close to areas that
have stone chips visible on fresh paint.
• Do not wash vehicle using extremely hot
water or while the surface is hot. (Do not
wash vehicle in the hot sun).
• Avoid washing with stiff bristles. Soft
cloth and felt brushes are recommended.
Avoid machine type automated washing
systems.
• Do not allow spilled gasoline, anti-freeze,
hydraulic fluid, or windshield washer fluid
to stand on the paint – remove immedi-
ately by rinsing with water.
• Do not wax for the first 60 days.
• Ice and snow should be brushed, not
scraped off.
• Have any paint nicks or scratches repaired
as soon as they occur to protect against
corrosion.
• Should your RV’s finish become damaged,
have it repaired as soon as possible.
Contact a reputable repair shop near you
and specify the DuPont ChromaSystem®
used for the original finish (the color for-
mula will be located on the vehicle). This
will assure you the best possible color
match and the same durability and appear-
ance as when your vehicle was new.

Exterior Graphics Care
The pressure sensitive graphics installed on the
exterior surfaces of your motor home require little
maintenance and should be treated similarly to a
painted surface. Here are some guidelines to help
you keep your exterior graphics looking like 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.
3. Test any cleaning solution on a small sec-
tion of the graphic before using the clean-
ing solution on a larger surface.
4. Do not use any aromatic solvents such as
acetone, MEK, toluene, paint thinner, lac-
quer thinner on your graphics. Any solvent
of this type may soften or smear colors.
5. Do not paint over the graphics with clear or
any other type of paint.
