CARE & MAINTENANCECARE & MAINTENANCE
Wax
Wax your bus at least once every twelve months or sooner as needed. Use a nonabrasive wax.
This is required to remove accumulated residue and eliminate any weathered appearance. It
is essential that units are not waxed in direct sunlight.
Products labeled cleaner wax or polish should not be used as they are somewhat abra-
sive and can actually remove some paint from the surface of the vehicle. Care should be
taken when choosing a wax to make sure that it does not contain abrasive materials i.e.;
calcium carbonate, pumice, plastic beads, etc.
• Before waxing, thoroughly wash and dry the bus.
• Never wash or wax a bus in direct sunlight or if the paint is hot to the touch. The sun can
soften the paint and make it more susceptible to scratching.
• Use a lamb’s-wool mitt for washing and soft cotton rags or microfiber towels for waxing.
Do not use rags for waxing; they can trap dirt and scratch the finish. Synthetic fabrics and
brushes can also scratch the finish.
• Wash and wax in small sections. This saves time and if the wax stays on too long, it can be
difficult to remove.
