2012 Trip
Upon first use of a product, try it on a small
test spot in an inconspicuous area. Observe
the test area from different angles to check for
hazing or swirl marks. If hazing or swirl marks
to the finish occurs, discontinue product use
and consult the product manufacturer. If the
product is a paste, do not allow dried paste to
be baked on by the sun. Remove paste shortly
after drying. Clean, dry, microfiber cloths are
best suited for the removal of dried paste. Turn
the cloth often. Use a separate clean microfiber
cloth to buff. The surface should feel slick
when rubbing the cloth lightly over it. Avoid
repeated wax applications that can cause build
up. Some very fine scratches or swirl marks
may be hidden by application of a glaze. It
is best to consult a professional detailer for
advice before applying a glaze.
The motorhome has a large surface area.
Washing and waxing may not be completed
in one afternoon. Select sections to wax until
the motorhome is complete. If the task seems
overwhelming, have an RV detailer perform
the task.
Paint Codes
The motorhome color scheme is comprised
of specific paint colors, each assigned a code
used to achieve a desired color of paint.
“Touch-up” paint may be used to repair a
small scratch or imperfection in the paint
surface. To paint a larger area, it is necessary
to obtain the paint code to get the correct color
match.
To Obtain the Paint Code:
Contact Parts at
1-877-466-6226 .

Specify the year, model, serial number and
exterior color scheme name (if known).
This formula can be mixed at a local
Sherwin Williams paint store.
NOTE:
All special paint schemes require
contacting Monaco RV LLC directly
for paint codes.
Tire Care
Proper care and methods in cleaning must
be used to obtain the maximum service years
out of the tires. Use a soft brush and a mild
detergent to clean the tires. If a dressing
product is used to “protect” the tires from
aging, use extra care and caution. Tire
dressings that contain petroleum products or
alcohol may cause deterioration or cracking.
In many cases it is not the dressing that
causes a problem but the chemical reaction
that subsequently occurs. When these same
dressing products are used on a passenger car
tire that is replaced every three to four years,
it is rare to see a major problem. However, in
most cases motorhome tires may last longer
due to limited annual mileage and exposure.
Bright Metal
All chrome and stainless steel should be
washed and cleaned each time the motorhome
is washed. Use only automotive approved
non-abrasive cleaners and polishes on exterior
bright work. Do not use rubbing compounds.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or compounds to
clean the mirrors.


NOTE:
When applying chemicals to remove
road tar, use only automotive products
that are recommended for painted
surfaces and fiberglass. Observe
the warning recommendations and
directions printed on the container.
Wheel Covers
Clean the wheel covers frequently with
high pressure water from a hose using a mild
detergent.
Do not
use harsh alkalis, alcohol or
acidic cleansers. A secondary hand washing
with a soft cloth may be required to remove
stubborn road grime. To remove the wheel
covers from the wheel for a thorough cleaning
use the special tool that was included with
the motorhome. Each wheel cover is secured
by lug covers identified by indent or notch
markings. When the wheel covers are removed
tires and rims can be cleaned and inspected.
Remove dirt, corrosion or any foreign
material from the tire side of the rim using
a wire brush. Do not use a wire brush or
other abrasive substances to remove dirt and
corrosion from the wheel covers. To maintain
the original appearance of the wheel covers the
following procedures are recommended:
After reinstalling wheel covers (prior
to operating the motorhome) use a
sponge, cloth or soft fiber brush to
wash the exposed wheel surfaces with
a mild detergent/warm water solution.
Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Wipe dry to avoid water spots.
