Polishing your recreation vehicle
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. Use the closest automotive
paint (available locally) match possible when touch-up paint is needed.
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, other hard tools, or wax containing abrasives as they may damage the plastic surface.
Chrome parts
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.
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.

Do not use waxes containing high-abrasive compounds. Such waxes
remove rust and stains effectively from the paint work, but they are
also harmful to the luster of the painted surface since they 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.
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.

Frame
Sand, pebbles, objects on the highway, climate (salt air exposure) or ice inhibiting chemicals
used during the winter months will damage the paint, inviting rust and other deterioration.
Periodically inspect the exterior exposed areas, clean and repaint the frame members
occasionally and whenever you notice rust or paint chipped away, to insure protection.
