• Hinges - The hinges on your door should be lubricated annually or as needed with
any high quality spray lubricant.
• Fiberglass Skin - To maintain good appearance and long service life, Philips door
skin panels should be washed and cleaned periodically. Cleaning removes the
accumulation of dust and dirt that can combine with sunlight and wind to attack
exposed surfaces both chemically and abrasively.
• Cleaning:
= General Cleaning - A 10% solution of trisodium phosphate in warm water (not to
exceed 120°F), may be applied in a scrubbing motion, using sponge, brush, or cloth.
Rinse thoroughly after cleaning.
= Removing Oil Residues or Difficult Substances - Mineral spirits, applied with a
clean cloth, ,will aid in removing most oily residues or substances.
= Removing Hard Water Deposits - A 10% solution of acetic acid in cold water may
be used in the manner described in General Cleaning above. Rinse thoroughly after
cleaning.
= Waxing, though not mandatory, will help maintain the appearance and service live
of the door. If waxing, use a high quality automotive or recreation vehicle wax;
non-abrasive.
.
NOTE: Use non-corrosive cleaning compounds. Avoid the use of compounds
containing ammonia or chlorine since they may cause the panels to yellow. Do not
use rubbing compounds, as they will etch and damage the panel surface.

CLEARANCE LIGHTS

Inspect all exterior lights to make sure they do not have moisture trapped inside. The
"weep" holes at the bottom of the lights must be kept open to allow moisture to escape from
the light fixture.

STONE GUARD

Wash the stone guard with liquid dishwashing soap or liquid car washing soap and water.
Do not use powdered detergent, powdered soap, liquid and spray cleaners or pressure
washing. Wax frequently to protect the surface and make cleaning easier.

ABS PLASTICS

ABS plastic components such as shower walls, tub, exterior fenders and gas bottle cover (if
applicable) will retain their original beauty with reasonable care.

For cleaning:

1. Dust and wipe clean with soft, damp cloth or chamois, wiping gently.
2. Wax or polish with Simoniz,® Aero-Wax,® or Glo-Coat® using flannel or jersey
cloth. After polishing, wipe gently with damp cloth to ground electrostatic charges
which may attract dust particles.
Do NOT use gritty or abrasive particle soaps or scouring compound to clean ABS plastic.
Caution: Avoid using "Citrus" or biodegradable cleaners which contain
"D-Limonene." They will damage plastic materials.
