SECTION 9
CARE & MAINTENANCE
9-2
Stains and Discolorations
Regular cleaning and waxing will help pre-
vent most discolorations and stains; however,
please be aware that using caustic, highly alka-
line cleaners or any cleaner with ammonia may
actually darken your RV’s exterior. If stains or
discolorations do appear, they can be removed by
gently wet-sanding the discolored area with a
fine grit sandpaper and then using an electric or
pneumatic buffer and a liberal amount of rubbing
compound. Finishing with an automotive wax
will restore the gelcoat’s original luster.
NOTE: Your Winnebago Industries RV dealer is
equipped and trained to handle this type
of work. We advise you see him before at-
tempting this yourself.
Scratches
Although the gelcoat exterior is very scratch
resistant, scratches may occur occasionally.
Those that haven’t penetrated too deeply can usu-
ally be rubbed out with an automotive polishing
compound applied with a power buffer or by
hand. Not all scratches disappear completely, but
they will be less noticeable. After using the pol-
ishing compound, you should then wax your RV
to seal the surface. This will enhance the
gelcoat’s gloss and color and prevent stains. It is
best to let your Winnebago Industries RV dealer
evaluate the situation before using an automotive
polishing compound.
When Accidents Happen, Repairs are Easy
If a mishap causes a gouge or chip in your
RV’s gelcoat exterior, it can be repaired nearly
anywhere, whether you are at home or on the
road. Most Winnebago Industries RV dealerships
have repair shops staffed with employees skilled
in repairing gelcoat, or they can refer you to a
body shop equipped to handle these repairs.
Either way, your RV should come out looking
like new.
Care of Stripes
and Decals
The pressure-sensitive decals on your coach
require very little maintenance. They should be
treated like any painted surface on your vehicle.
Here are a few helpful hints on caring for decals:
•
Wash decals with plain soap and water or
any retail car wash soap. Always rinse
thoroughly.
•
Keep high-pressure wash nozzles at least 12
inches from edge of decals. High pressure
water spray may cause edge lifting of decals.
•
Test any cleaning solution on a small section
of decal before using.
•
Do Not use window cleaners or solutions
that contain ammonia.
•
Do Not use any alcohol or solutions contain-
ing alcohols, which can soften and smear
colors.
•
Do Not use any aromatic solvents such as
acetone, MEK, toluene, xylene, etc., on
decals.
•
Do Not use lacquer thinner or paint on
decals.
•
Do Not overcoat decals with clear paint.
•
Do Not let gasoline or other fuels drip and
stay on decals for any length of time. Rinse
immediately.
