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 allow plastic to come into contact with brake uid, engine oil, grease,
paint thinner, or battery acid. These will damage plastic. Use a soft cloth and
a mild detergent solution to wipe away any such contact.

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 surface at least 3-4 times per year and prior to putting your motor home into storage.
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
