How to maintain FRP on RV car panels

The body structure of the RV is made of fiberglass material. As we all know, RVS is a giant. To reduce fuel consumption, many manufacturers will try to reduce weight and make it lightweight.
Many RVs are made of glass fiber due to their lightweight quality and high strength, and are resistant to corrosion, resistivity, thermal insulation, thermal insulation and other benefits. The process is more coordinated and the installation of parts is easier to optimize and clean.
It is widely used in the automotive industry. No matter how tall the shell is, it must be maintained. No matter how good the fiberglass used in RVS is, it must be maintained. During the reversal of parking lots and RVs, it is necessary to avoid contact with sharp and hard objects. In daily life, you need to check for damage to the shell, peeling of resin, deep scratches and fiber exposure. If these happen, they must be fixed immediately. Otherwise, when it rains, rainwater will seep into the shell, which will accelerate damage to the shell. Once the holes appear in the shell, the internal interlayer insulation will be destroyed, breeding bacteria and insects to support the family. Rain invades furniture in RVs and does not insulate in cold weather. The shell must be kept in time. Fiberglass shells should be kept clean all the time. Usually, you can use the external kitchen to cook vegetables. It is inevitable that oil and dirt will stick to the surface of the shell. Over time, it will certainly be ugly and corrode the shell.
Once oil and dirt appear, you should use regular household detergent to clean them in time. You should not use highly corrosive solvents to clean them, otherwise it will backfire and accelerate the corrosion of the shell. You can't scrub them with dirty powder and metal wire, which will leave obvious scratches and affect the beauty of the surface. If the stain is really hard to remove, try cleaning with neutralizing chemicals such as gasoline, kerosene, diesel, toluene, xylene, styrene and acetone. After cleaning, make sure to rinse with clean water. This prevents them from invading the structure. During the cleaning process, some plastic plates with lower hardness are used to prevent them from scratching the surface. Finally, use a soft towel and gauze matte.
No matter what kind of car it is, it should be avoided in the hot sun. Even if there are no obstacles to trees around, the RV should be parked in a cool place, and the sun will inevitably be exposed to the sun at noon and afternoon. You have to make a simple pergola. Long-term exposure to sunlight is not friendly to fiberglass, and the color of the rubber jacket will disappear.
FRP also requires regular waxing and polishing. One is to make the shell brighter, just like a new car, and the other is to play the protective layer. Car wax is enough. You need to throw it away three times using a hand polisher. Each time, a very hard wax film is formed on the surface of the FRP, and the surface is as bright as the new one. If you want to use this RV for a long time, the shell will gradually lose its luster after three to five years, the dark color will become lighter, the rubber jacket will get older, the scratches will become more variable, and the polish will not help. Paint is required to maintain beauty and improve durability. Paint should be mainly polyurethane and epoxy paint because it has good protective properties. Before applying the paint, clean the surface, remove the wax with clean mold, and grind it with water matte paper. When encountering deeper scratches, use epoxy putty. Finally, paint by spray paint. After painting, the RV will return to brightness when you just pick up the car.
