My 1999 Coachman Gelcoat exterior rig has a lot of colored decals on the sides. I noticed that some of them are starting to fray or chip on the edges and was wondering if there is anything recommended for protecting them other than a coat of wax. Any other folks experience this type of problem?
I'll just add don't sweep the snow off in winter time. I was soooo diligent to keep the snow off that one bad winter. I used the RV extended soft bristled broom to sweep the snow off the cab over, sides where the storm slammed snow drifts against it, etc.........
Come spring I realized what "I" did to my decals.:(
The decals are cold and brittle in cold weather, me sweeping that broom (albeit it was a very soft broom meant not to hurt an RV finish) over them snow storm after snow storm in freezing temps actually frayed the edges of the decals. Just saying a little tip to help you avoid my oops! :B
