7.3 Cleaning the exterior
7.3.1 Washing the bodywork
The bodywork of your campervan consists of different materials, each requiring specific maintenance in order to guarantee its
performance over time.
Note: only use soft sponges and cloths. Never use abrasive pads or detergents. Avoid extensive use of a water blaster as it can
damage certain parts of the bodywork (seals, plastic parts, etc.).
