Wheels - Aluminum
Outside:
Road soils, grime and brake dust trap moisture which can cause corrosion over a period of time.
Clean frequently with high pressure water. The use of mild detergent will speed up the cleaning
process. Wipe dry to avoid water spots. Do not clean the polished surface of the wheel with abrasives,
abrasive brushes, steel wool, scouring pads, synthetic cleaning pads or strong chemicals such as acids
or lye-based products. A secondary hand washing with a soft cloth may be required to remove some
stubborn road films. Allow wheels that are extremely hot to cool before spraying with cold water.
NOTE:
DO NOT use the Alcoa Aluminum Care System on Accu-Shield wheels at any time
during their service life.
Inside:
If the tires are removed, inspect and clean the entire rim. Air used to fill the tire may contain mois-
ture and can cause the areas of the wheel under the tire to severely corrode. Using a brush, remove any
foreign materials from the tire side of the rim. Lubricate the rim and tire bead with a non-water-based
lubricant before mounting the tire and ensure the inside of tire is dry before installing.
W
ARNING:
DO NOT use a flammable solution to coat the inside of the rim. This can lead to an
explosion during tire inflation or in subsequent operation of the motorhome.
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 using chemicals to remove road tars, use only automotive type products that are
recommended for use on painted surfaces and fiberglass. Observe the warning recom-
mendations and directions printed on the container of any agent being used.
