Conserving the exterior finish
The same applies to the conservation of the
body as to the basic vehicle. Timely conservation
makes cleaning easier, as dirt does not adhere
so easily. But even if conservation liquid is
used regularly for washing, the aluminium
outer walls of the vehicle should be treated
at least twice a year with hard wax polish. At
least once a year the glass fibre composite
parts of the body, the roof and the coachbuilt,
should be treated with a polish suitable for
gel coat (marine sector) and should then be
sealed.
Underfloor protection
Additional underfloor protection is not necessary
for the body, as it is provided with a glass
fibre surface.
As damage to this surface cannot be avoided
while driving, the underfloor of the body should
be checked and if necessary repaired at regular
intervals, preferably during the annual sealing
check.
Washing
The vehicle can be washed with special vehicle
shampoo.
Chemical cleaners, alcohol, glass cleaner or
cleaners containing benzene or similar may
not be used. The cleaners may not contain
any softeners as this can lead to cracks or
brittleness. Instead, clean the acrylic windows
with water (never dry), a clean sponge and a
soft cloth.
Stickers and window pictures can also damage
the windows.
The window seals should not be cleaned with
abrasives or other cleaning agents. Only apply
talcum powder once a year.
Decorative strips and names or writing
The decorative strips and writing should not
be cleaned with high-pressure cleaners or tar
removers, as they can become detached or
damaged.
Otherwise they can be cleaned in the same
way as the rest of the vehicle surface.
