Damaged paint
To prevent corrosion, touch up small cracks and scratches in the paint coat as
soon as possible with touch-up film or paint. Carefully check the body areas facing
the road and the tires for damage to the paint coat caused by flying stones, etc. To
purchase touch-up paint, use the closest automotive paint (available locally) match
possible.
Cleaning plastic parts
Use a sponge or chamois to clean plastic parts. Use warm water and a soft cloth
or chamois to remove any white residue from dark colored plastic surfaces.
Do not use a scrubbing brush or other hard tools as they may damage the plastic
surface. Do not use wax containing abrasives that may damage the plastic
surface.
Chrome parts (if so equipped)
To prevent chrome parts from spotting or corroding, wash with water, dry
thoroughly, and apply a non-abrasive automotive wax. If the chrome is severely
damaged or pitted, use a commercially available chrome polish product.
Stone Guard (if so equipped)
Wash the stone guard with mild liquid dishwashing soap or liquid car washing
soap and water. Do not use powdered detergent, powdered soap, liquid and
spray cleaners or pressure washing. Wax frequently to protect the surface and
make cleaning easier.
EXTERIOR ROOF & SIDEWALL VENTS
While you are cleaning the exterior roof, also inspect the roof vents (including
sealants) for cracks and keep them clean. Inspect the refrigerator and holding tank
vents for blockages from bird nests, spider webs, leaves, etc. ater heater, furnace
and refrigerator exterior doors need to be kept clean and free of obstructions (i.e.,
insect nests, mud daubers, etc.) while the appliances (if so equipped) are in use.
CAUTION
Do not use waxes containing high-abrasive compounds. Such waxes remove
rust and stains effectively, but they are also harmful to the luster of the
surface, since they may scrape off the coating. Further, they are detrimental to
glossy surfaces, such as the grille, garnish, moldings, etc. Do not use gasoline
or paint thinners to remove road tar or other contamination to the painted
