Therefore, it is up to the recreational vehicle
owner to perform regular washing maintenance
and neutralize any corrosive agent applied to
the roadway by local or state governments.
Washing
Care should be used when washing the
recreational vehicle. Use only mild detergents
or preferred specifically designed automotive
detergents. Avoid using abrasive cleaners
or laundry detergents which will scratch
and leave a soap film. The use of specially
designed automotive washing utensils, such
as soft bristle brushes, are acceptable as long
as the utensils do not trap abrasive material
and scratch the surface while being used.
Before washing the recreational vehicle,
remove most of the accumulated dirt and
“road wash” behind wheel openings, and
on the rear of the recreational vehicle. If the
build-up is excessive, run water over a soft
brush while gently scrubbing the surface in
one direction. This will help float away the
build-up. Avoid back and forth or circular
motions. After removing the heavy build-up,
use the mixed detergent solution to wash the
recreational vehicle. Start washing at the top
of the recreational vehicle working towards
the bottom. If possible, wash the recreational
vehicle in a shaded area when the exterior
is not hot to the touch. If necessary, turn the
recreational vehicle around to keep the area
being washed in the shade. Try not to allow
the detergent to dry onto the clear coat surface.
Use plenty of water when rinsing the surface
to remove any detergent residue.
Drying
Chamois cloths come in natural and synthetic
materials. Either type is acceptable as long
as the surface is clean. Soak the chamois in
clean water, then wring it dry. Remove the
water from the surface, starting at the top
and working towards the bottom, using a
downward “S” pattern. Wring out the chamois
as needed. Using a chamois cloth to remove
the rinse water is not necessary, but the effort
can be worthwhile.
Waxing
Wax the recreational vehicle twice a year:
spring and fall. Many types of protective
barriers are available: glazes, waxes, polishes,
rubbing compounds or combinations of these
products.
INFORMATION:
When selecting a product, follow the
product manufacturer’s application
instructions.
NOTE:
Use a grease and wax remover
before applying another coat of
wax. Chemicals can become trapped
between layers of wax, possibly
damaging the finish.
Types of Products:
Glazes:
Glazes are generally used to fill very
fine scratches, being applied either by hand or
by using a polisher with a special pad.
Waxes:
Waxes come in many types of
chemical make-up. Most contain cleaning
agents, lubricants and wax.
Cleaning agents remove oxidation and leave
a high gloss. Wax leaves a clear film that
protects the finish.
Polishes:
Polishes combine wax based
substances with abrasives to clean and polish
at the same time. These products can be too
abrasive and are not recommended for use.
Rubbing Compounds:
These types of
products are generally applied by using a
buffer. The use of rubbing compounds should
be left to professionals as undesired results
can quickly occur. These types of products are
generally used to correct or flatten a surface
by removing high spots or small amounts of
material.
Follow all manufacturer application
instructions when using a product. Upon first
use of a product, try it on a “small test spot” -
in an inconspicuous area in case an undesired
reaction occurs. Observe the test area from
different angles checking for hazing or swirl
marks. If an abnormal reaction to the finish
occurs, discontinue product use and consult the
product’s manufacturer.
Graphics
The recreational vehicle color scheme is
comprised of vinyl graphics of different
shapes and colors. Each vinyl graphic stripe
is assigned a part number. “Touch-up” paint
may be used to repair a small scratch or
imperfection in the graphic stripe. To repair
a larger area, it will be necessary to obtain
a replacement vinyl graphic to maintain the
original appearance.
