When selecting a product the container should be marked, “safe for clear
coats” or “clear coat safe.” Carefully follow all manufacturer’s
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. 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, 100% cotton cloths or cotton baby diapers are best suited for the
removal of dried paste. Turn the cloth often. Use a separate clean cloth to
buff. The surface should feel “slick” when rubbing the cloth lightly over it.
Avoid repeated wax applications which can cause wax to build up. Some
very fine scratches or swirl marks may be removed by an application of a
glaze. These types of glazes fill the scratches or swirl marks.
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
automotive detailer perform the task.
Road oil will cause deterioration of the rubber. Dirt buildup will help hold
chemicals in the air next to the tire and will also cause deterioration.
When cleaning any rubber product, 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 recreational
vehicle tires may last longer due to limited annual mileage and exposure.
All chrome, stainless steel and aluminum 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 any abrasive cleaners or compounds to
clean the mirrors.
NOTE: When using chemicals to remove road tars, use only
automotive type products that are recommended for use on
painted surfaces and fiberglass. Observe the warning
recommendations and directions printed on the container of
any agent being used.
