For recreation vehicles with painted exterior graphics, if desired you may wash and wax your vehicle 60 days after purchase. The exterior paint needs time to cure before any wax is applied to the exterior surface.
- Page 112 Section 13: Exterior Drying the recreation vehicle is just as important as washing your vehicle. Tap and well water contain many chemicals that could water stain your vehicle’s finish. We suggest using a damp natural or synthetic chamois. Other drying products such as lint-free micro-fiber towels work as well.

Carefully check the body areas facing the road and the tires for damage to the paint coat caused by flying stones, etc. Use the closest automotive paint (available locally) match possible when touch-up paint is needed.
