Waxing your RV
Wax your RV once or twice a year, or when
painted surfaces do not shed water well. Use
a soft cloth to apply a small amount of wax to
the painted surfaces. After the wax has dried,
polish the RV with a dry, soft cloth. Do not
wax your RV in direct sunlight. Wax it after the
surfaces have cooled. Do not apply wax to
any area having a flat black finish as it can
cause discoloration. If the finish has been
stained with wax, wipe off the area with a soft
cloth and warm water.
When waxing the area around the various
openings, do not apply any wax on the
weatherstrip. If it is stained with wax, the
weatherstrip cannot maintain a weatherproof
seal around the opening.
Polishing your RV
If painted surfaces have been severely
damaged and have lost their original luster
and color tone, polish the surface lightly with a
fine polishing compound. Avoid limiting your
polishing to the damaged surface only; polish
a somewhat wider area, moving the polishing
cloth in one direction. After polishing, flush the
compound from the surface and apply a coat
of wax to regain a beautiful luster.
Damaged paint
To prevent corrosion, touch up small cracks
and scratches in the paint coat as soon as
possible with touch-up film or paint. Carefully
check the body areas facing the road and the
tires for damage to the paint coat caused by
flying stones, etc. To purchase touch-up paint,
use the closest automotive paint (available
locally) match possible.
Cleaning plastic parts
Use a sponge or chamois to clean plastic
parts. Use warm water and a soft cloth or
chamois to remove any white residue from
dark colored plastic surfaces. Do not use a
scrubbing brush or other hard tools as they
may damage the plastic surface. Do not use
wax containing abrasives that may damage
the plastic surface.
Chrome parts (if so equipped)
To prevent chrome parts from spotting or
corroding, wash with water, dry thoroughly,
and apply a non-abrasive automotive wax. If
the chrome is severely damaged or pitted,
use a commercially available chrome polish
product.
W
INDOWS
Any ventilating window may permit water
inside, especially during heavy rainstorms.
Condensation will also cause water to
accumulate on windows and in the tracks.
The window “glass” can normally be cleaned
Do not use waxes containing high-abrasive
compounds. Such waxes remove rust and
stains effectively, but they are also harmful
to the luster of the surface, since they may
scrape off the coating. Further, they are
detrimental to glossy surfaces, such as the
grille, garnish, moldings, etc. Do not use
gasoline or paint thinners to remove road
tar or other contamination to the painted
surface.
If desired, you may wax your new
motorhome after 60 days of purchase. The
exterior paint does need time to cure
before any wax is applied to the exterior
surface.
Do not use a buffer and a buffing
compound as it may damage the exterior
surface. Please contact a professional
paint body shop for assistance.
Do not allow plastic to come into contact
with brake fluid, engine oil, grease, paint
thinner, or battery acid. These will damage
plastic. Use a soft cloth and a mild
detergent solution to wipe away any such
contact.
