Taking care of fiberglass components in amusement park rides is crucial for their longevity and appearance. Let’s use a mall train as an example to explain how to maintain it properly.
Firstly, avoid hitting sharp or hard objects during daily use to prevent scratches and damage. If scratches do occur, use matching paint to touch up the affected areas.
For outdoor operations, regularly inspect the train’s surface for salt deposits. If you find any, clean them off promptly. It’s best to start operating the train in a shaded area to prevent sunlight from causing heat buildup and speeding up the aging process of the fiberglass.
Although fiberglass is durable and less likely to fade compared to other materials, it still ages over time with use. To keep it looking good, regularly wax and polish the surface. If there’s significant wear, consider repainting the fiberglass periodically.
Following these steps will help your mall train stay in good condition and attract riders for years to come!
