Maintenance Instructions

ANNUAL MAINTENANCE PLAN


(6 Months for Mine or Harsh Environments
)

  1. Use plenty of clean water to wash/rinse off any dust, grit and contaminants from light and pole/stem.
  2. Add a tiny amount of soft-soap or even dishwasher liquid but limit it to a couple of drops in a full bucket of clean water.
  3. Using a soft very wet non-textured cloth clean the light, with a side-to-side or up-and-down motion, then clean the pole/stem.
  4. Rinse down with clean water and wipe dry with a soft non-textured cloth lightly.
  5. Allow the polycarbonate surface to dry before polishing.
  6. Apply a small amount of Meguiar’s PLASTX or similar quality polycarbonate polish to the dome top.
  7. Polish with a very soft non-textured clean cloth (or powered orbital polisher/buff with soft material or foam pad) the top dome surface only, and the rest of the polycarbonate by hand.
  8. Again, use side-to-side or up-and-down motions. Try to do the same direction every polish.
  9. Wipe the polycarbonate clean with a soft non-textured cloth after polishing
  10. Tension all the security bolts to ensure they are firm and tight. Constant wind vibration can loosen bolts over time.
  11. Spray with VuPlex or Plexus (if available) a light mist covering all polycarbonate surfaces to create an anti-static non-stick finish and protective layer.
  12. Polish dry with a soft non-textured cloth.

ADVANCED CLEANING

Removing Spray Paint, Marker Pen and all other contaminants.

Advanced Cleaning Process
  1. Use plenty of clean water to wash/rinse off any dust, grit and contaminants from light and pole/stem.
  2. Apply Ethanol (Industrial Pure Alcohol) onto fine-textured soft fabric cloth and scrub off stains with pressure “DO NOT” use a circular motion – only side-to-side or up-and-down motions until all acidic or adhesive contaminants are removed.
  3. Then follow ANNUAL MAINTENANCE PLAN steps “preferably” using a powered orbital polisher/buff with soft material or foam pad to get a cleaner clear finish.

Please Note:

  • Spray paint and other acidic liquids will slowly oxidise and weaken PC surfaces.
  • The advanced cleaning process must be done immediately when this occurrence has been discovered.
  • The advanced cleaning process may not restore 100% due to the PC surface having already been damaged by acidic materials.
