Discovery, Discovery LXE, Pace Arrow, and
Bright Metal
All chrome and stainless steel
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 abrasive
cleaners or compounds to clean the
mirrors.
NOTE:
When applying chemicals
to remove road tar, use
only automotive products
that are recommended
for painted surfaces and
fiberglass. Observe the
warning recommendations
and directions printed on
the container.
Wheel Covers
Clean the wheel covers
frequently with high pressure
water from a hose using a mild
detergent. Do not use harsh alkalis,
alcohol or acidic cleansers. A
secondary hand washing with
a soft cloth may be required to
remove stubborn road grime. To
remove the wheel covers from the
wheel for a thorough cleaning use
the special tool that was included
with the motorhome. Each wheel
cover is secured by lug covers
identied by indent or notch
markings. When the wheel covers
are removed tires and rims can be
cleaned and inspected.
Remove dirt, corrosion or any
foreign material from the tire side
of the rim using a wire brush.
Do not use a wire brush or other
abrasive substances to remove
dirt and corrosion from the wheel
covers. To maintain the original
appearance of the wheel covers
the following procedures are
recommended:
After reinstalling wheel
covers (prior to operating
the motorhome) use a
sponge, cloth or soft ber
brush to wash the exposed
wheel surfaces with a mild
detergent/warm water
solution.
Rinse thoroughly with
clean water.
Wipe dry to avoid water
spots.
Use a high quality, non-
abrasive polish to remove
stubborn road tars, insects
or hard to remove deposits.
To protect the surface
appearance on wheel
covers, wax the cleaned
surface with a high quality
car wax.
Clean the wheel covers
frequently to maintain
appearance.
Wheels - Polished Aluminum
Outside:
The outward side of the
aluminum wheel is a polished
nish and should be treated the
same as the paint nish on the
motorhome. Road soils, grime and
brake dust trap moisture which can
cause corrosion over a period of
time.
1. Frequently clean using
high-pressure water.
2. Wash with a 100%
cotton cloth and a mild
soap solution (dish soap
or car wash soap is
recommended).
3. Rinse all remaining
soap residue with high-
pressure water and wipe
the surface dry using a
100% cotton cloth to
avoid water spots.
4. A secondary hand
washing may be required
to remove some stubborn
road lms.
5. Carnauba wax can be
applied to help protect
the nish.
CAUTION:
Rinse aluminum wheels
using high-pressure water
to remove debris from the
surface before washing.
Do not scrub. Rubbing
debris against the surface
of the wheel can result in
scratches. Do not allow
soap solution to dry on
the finish of the wheel as
spotting will occur.
NOTE:
Allow heated wheels that
are extremely hot to cool
before spraying with cold
water.
Do not use the following items
on polished aluminum wheels:
Synthetic cleaning pads,
wire or abrasive brushes,
steel wool or scouring pads
(these can mar or scratch
the nish).
