Polishing your recreation vehicle
If painted surfaces have been severely damaged and have lost their original luster and
color tone, polish the surface lightly with a ne polishing compound. Avoid limiting your
polishing to the damaged surface only; polish a somewhat wider area, moving the polishing
cloth in one direction. After polishing, ush the compound from the surface and apply a coat
of wax to regain a beautiful luster.
Damaged paint
To prevent corrosion, touch up small cracks and scratches in the paint coat as soon as
possible with touch-up lm or paint. Carefully check the body areas facing the road and the
tires for damage to the paint coat caused by ying 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, other hard tools, or wax containing abrasives as they may damage the plastic surface.
Chrome parts
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.
Do not use a buffer and a bufng compound as it may damage the exterior
surface. Please contact a professional paint body shop for assistance.
Do not allow plastic to come into contact with brake uid, engine oil, grease,
paint thinner, or batter acid. These will damage plastic. Use a soft cloth and
a mild detergent solution to wipe away any such contact..
frAMe
Sand, pebbles, objects on the highway, climate (salt air exposure) or ice inhibiting chemicals
used during the winter months will damage the paint, inviting rust and other deterioration.
Periodically inspect the exterior exposed areas, clean and repaint the frame members
occasionally and whenever you notice rust or paint chipped away, to insure protection.
