EXTERIOR & INTERIOR CARE — 3

Sealing Under a Painted Surface: Acrylic

Sealants: Geocel # 2300

Used where items are sealed under a painted

surface such as the metal corners of slide out

rooms and roof mounted awning brackets.

The material is specially formulated to allow

paint adhesion. Consult manufacturer data for

application and safety instructions.

INTERIOR CARE

Cockpit

The cockpit area dashboard is a molded-

berglass, vinyl-wrapped pod. The instrument

panel is comprised of various gauges and

switches. The dashboard and instrument panel

each have different cleaning requirements.

Clean the vinyl wrapped dash pod following the

instructions under Vinyl Care in this section. In

the event a blemish or small cut occurs in the

vinyl, contact a professional upholstery repair

service.

Clean the plastic or Plexiglas® instrument

panels using a cloth dampened in a mild soap

and water solution. Dry using a separate cotton

cloth. Plastic polish products that will help to

brighten the appearance of plastic or Plexiglas

instrument panels are Novus Plastic Care®, a

three-part system; Meguires® and Johnson Paste

Wax®, which will require extensive bufng and

rubbing.

Glass lens gauges can be cleaned using glass

cleaner. Spray cleaner on the cloth, not directly

onto the lens, to prevent over spray or runoff.

CAUTION

DO NOT allow glass cleaners to come in

contact with the plastic. Glass cleaning

products can damage plastic by dulling

the finish or causing it to become brittle.

TIP

To determine if the lens is glass or

plastic, tap the lens with a fingernail.

Plastic lens will have a dull hollow sound

whereas glass will have a clear ping

sound.

FABRICS

General Care & Cleaning

Special care needs to be taken when the

motorhome is exposed to a very humid climate

for an extended period of time. Protect the fabric

from any unnecessary exposure to moisture.

Cover all upholstery and make sure window

coverings are down to protect fabrics from sun

damage. Frequently used items require more

attention than those items not regularly used.

If a spill occurs, blot the moisture as quickly

as possible. DO NOT use soap and hot water as

this may set a stain. Clean the spot as soon as

possible.

Cleaning Upholstery Fabrics:

Water-based cleaners are not

recommended.

If a spill does occur, blot the soiled area,

DO NOT rub it.

Some solvents may have an adverse

reaction on a specic backing of

the upholstery fabric and are not

recommended.



To prevent overall soiling, frequently

vacuum or lightly brush to remove dust

and grime.

Clean spots using a mild water-free

solvent or dry cleaning product.

Clean only in a well ventilated area and

avoid any product containing carbon

tetrachloride or other toxic materials.

Use a professional furniture cleaning

service for overall cleaning.

Vinyl

Several areas of the motorhome, such as the

dash, ceiling and items of furniture, may be

covered in vinyl. The care and cleaning of these

areas are as follows:

Normal Cleaning:

Most common stains can be cleaned using

warm soapy water and a clear water rinse.

Moderate scrubbing with a medium bristle brush

will help to loosen soil from the depression

of embossed surfaces. For stubborn stains use

the following commercially available mild

detergents in accordance with the manufacturer’s

instructions: Mr. Clean or Fantastik®.

Full strength rubbing alcohol or mineral spirits

may be tried cautiously as a last resort on very

stubborn stains if the above suggestions do

not work. Indiscriminate use of any solvent, or

solvent containing cleaner, can severely damage

or discolor the vinyl. Stains may become

permanent if they are not immediately removed.
