Cleaning The Diamond Shield Surface
Your motor home is equipped with a protective Diamond Shield surface located on the front
lower cap area, hood edges, generator door, under the entry door grab handle and door lock.
When cleaning the surface, do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or detergents. The manu-
facturer of the Diamond Shield surface does not recommend the use of any of the dry wash
types of cleaners as they are intended for non-porous surfaces, and paint protection lms are
a porous material. Car wash type soap is recommended.
Bugs should be washed o as soon as possible. One bug cleaner recommended by Diamond
Shield is Bug Magic.
Use EXTREME care if using a pressure washer, as too high of a pressure or misuse of
pressure washer may cut or tear the lm. Pressure washer damage IS NOT covered under
Diamond Shield’s warranty. The application of ANY products over Diamond Shield such as
vinyl bras, banners, etc. will void the Diamond Shield warranty
Diamond Shield recommends the use of 303 Aerospace Protectant™ or Protect All www.
protectall.com before any trips. Both of these products replenish and provide
UV screening protection, repel dust, soiling and staining, and should be applied every time
you clean the front of your motor home. For minor scus Diamond Shield recommends the
NOVUS line of products. Diamond Shield recommends Mothers or Maguire’s Liquid wax.
DO NOT USE wax designed for specic colors. It is recommended to wax the Diamond
Shield surface at least 3-4 times per year and prior to putting your motor home into storage.
The use of a protective covering (bra) is not recommended
and will void the limited lifetime warranty of the diamond shield protective
surface (see Cleaning the Diamond Shield Surface).
Frame
Frames receive heavy abuse from road conditions such as sand, pebbles, objects in the high-
way, and/or ice inhibiting chemicals, all of which will cause chipping and a blasting eect on
the painted surface. Frames will show signs of rust much sooner when exposed to salty air.
Periodically rinse o the frame (or as use requires) removing road grime, tar, oil, mud or salt.
Refer to your Chassis Guide for the chassis manufacturer’s maintenance instructions.
Mud Flap
Your motor home is equipped with rear wheel mud aps and/or a deluxe full-width mud ap,
periodically check and remove dirt or debris buildup from the mud aps.
The mud ap(s) should never be tilted towards the exhaust pipe when the
motor home is not in motion or when the motor home is moving in reverse.
Caution should be used when parking the motor home to assure the mud ap
does not become caught or hung up on stationary items on the ground. This
could result in damage to the mud ap(s).
