ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
EXTERIOR CARE
IMPORTANT
Damage caused by improper or unapplied maintenance is not covered by your Newmar Limited Warranty.
Washing your RV
The clear coat used on all painted Newmar RV’s is a similar to the technology that used by car
manufacturers. It is baked in our “state of the art” bake booths which cures the clear coat. The end result
is a Masterpiece Finish™ which is the highest quality in the industry. The same care needs to be
performed and maintained on your RV exterior surface as on your automobile.
•
Make sure the RV’s surface temperature is under 90˚ F, and is not in direct sunlight.
•
Rinse the entire coach to remove all loose dirt and grime. Never hold a pressure washer close to the
surface. Use a fan type spray nozzle, making sure that the water coming out of the gun has a fan and
not a single straight stream.
•
Most car stores offer mild car wash shampoos that are safe for clear coat finishes. We would
recommend using baby shampoo as it will not leave a film on the coach. Adding ½ of a cup of food
grade vinegar to the water will boost the cleaning ability of any cleaner and also soften the water.
This also helps to minimize water spots.
Do not use dish soap, detergents with degreasing agents,
or industrial cleaners as they can cause damage to the finish.
•
Use 100% cotton or Lambswool pads or wash mitts for washing the painted surfaces of your RV.
Use a different mitt for washing the wheels and undercarriage. Please contact your Newmar dealer to
order these Newmar parts.
(Lambswool pad: 018461; Backer Pad: 018461A; Lambswool mitt:
018464; Extension pole: 018463)
•
Change water in your wash bucket often or place a “dirt guard” in bottom of the bucket to keep the
cleaning pad or wash mitt free of dirt and debris.
ABSOLUTELY NO BRUSHES SHOULD BE USED ON THE PAINTED SURFACE.
USE OF THESE ON YOUR RV’S PAINTED SURFACE WILL CAUSE
DAMAGE TO
THE FINISH, AS IT WOULD AN AUTOMOBILE FINISH. NEWMAR DOES NOT
SUPPORT USING ANY STYLE, TYPE, MATERIAL OF BRUSH EVEN THOUGH IT
MAY BE MARKETED AS “RV SAFE” OR “APPROVED.”
Damage caused by inappropriate or unapplied maintenance is not covered under warranty
as expressed in the Newmar Expressed Limited Written Warranty.
Drying your RV
Drying your RV is just as important as washing it. Today’s tap-water and well-water contain
many chemicals that could water stain your RV’s finish.
After washing, dry your RV with the
EZE
Squeegee
(# 018462
) or a clean 100% leather chamois. You can also use fresh Microfiber towels for
drying. Please use caution as these towels are made partially with polyester (
which is plastic
) which can
break down over time from extended use and washing, eventually causing damage to the clear coat finish.
