Mequires Ultimate Wash & Wax

In the past we have used RV wash and wax to wash the trailer. However when I was picking up a new jug of Mequires wax this morning, I saw the ultimate wash & wax. The label shows it for cars but is there any reason that it wouldn't work on the trailer. It just seems that if it works as good as the other Mequires products that it should do a good job, and maybe cut down on the waxing.

    BULL!!!

    We use Meguires and nothing else.


    I believe he means a difference between using on RV's or automobiles, not difference's between manufacturers.
    Thats correct. I use Meguires automotive line on my truck, cars, rv and boat. Works well on all of them..

  • Here's a vote for the Meguires Ultimate wash & wax! As it's waterless, it can be used anywhere. I use it on both car and coach.

    I have always used Meqires Marine wax and it does an excellent job.
  • As far as I know, the only thing to do with faded graphics is remove and replace with new graphics. It seems some graphics are more prone to fading than others.
    Our problem is the front cap takes a direct hit from the sun. The sides are fine but the front is oxidizing but the graphics are fine. We keep it waxed (3 times last summer)but it still oxidizes. I will try that Marine One Step to remove the oxidation. That will be cheaper than having it painted.
  • Is there anything out there that will restore faded graphics (decals)? My gelcoat will polish up just fine, but the sun-damaged graphics are another story.
  • I just found this review on this Maguire's product and I'm going to buy it -


    "Maguiers One Marine One-Step Compound

    Product number: M6732 | SKU: 070382167325

    This advanced aggressive, yet safe compound will clean and restore gloss to the gel coat surface in one step. Removes moderate to heavy oxidation, scratches, stains and tough water spots. Restores color and leaves a rich gloss on the treated surface. Incredible results by hand or machine.
    And let me tell you it works great. We had removed some decals and now you can't tell where they were at before. On our last 5th wheel we went through the sanding the gel coat and more ... This does it all without all that work.
    Also using Rhino Shine to refurbish the bed of our truck. UV had done it's thing and painting on this restores the shine. I had done this years ago and it needed it again. I does restore to like new."

    One side of our FW is oxidized from the sun. The other is beautiful, like brand new.
