with your nearest Swift Group dealer or
contact Supercare customer services on

WARNING: In the interest of safety,
replacement parts for an appliance shall
conform to the appliance manufacturers
specification and should be fitted by him
or his authorised agent.
MOTORHOME EXTERIOR
PAINTWORK
The exterior of your coachbuilt motorhome is
finished with glass reinforced plastic (GRP)
which is very durable and easy to clean
owing to its smooth finish. GRP is now used
extensively in modern motorhome
construction and if cared for properly will
enhance the appearance of your vehicle. To
maintain a showroom finish wash the
motorhome regularly with a mild detergent,
rinse with cold water and leather off. A good
quality, silicon free car wax may be applied
which will make washing even easier.
Under no circumstances use any abrasive
cleaning agents on the exterior of your
motorhome. Stubborn stains may be
removed by using a soft cloth and a mild
detergent.
WARNING: Overzealous use of
detergents may loosen the decals
and/or badges.
WARNING: Care should be taken as the
silicon in some polishes can attack the
rubber used on the exterior for seals
and gaskets.
MOULDINGS
Some mouldings are anodised aluminium
and will retain their lustre for a long period if
no abrasive materials are used to clean
them. If your motorhome is subjected to
constant changes of temperature, mastic
may seep from joints between the
mouldings. Any excess that appears can be
removed by simply wiping with a soft cloth.
WARNING: Do not wash motorhome
with a high pressure washer. These can
cause permanent damage to the seals
of your motorhome.
ACRYLIC WINDOWS
The windows in your motorhome are fully
double glazed and with care will remain
sparkling and scratch-free.
Keeping your acrylic windows sparkling:
Small Scratches: For small scratches use a
liquid metal polish or a proprietary acrylic
polish of a suitable grade dependent upon
the severity of the scratches.
Cleaning: Wash down as you would your
car. Do not use a sponge on dirty windows.
When all dirt has been removed, dry with a
leather or similar type cloth. The catches
and stays do not require lubricating.
Removing Tar: Use a proprietary tar
remover on your double glazed windows,
it is obtainable from most leading car
accessory or Do-It-Yourself shops.
Do not use petrol or other chemicals.
