paint protection question please

You folks are the pros when it comes to paint protection. I am getting a new 5th wheel trailer that will have the front and back cap painted. Can you recommend good product to begin using to protect our in investment? Anyone hear of a product called Insulator Wax 845?

Thank you for any help!

    You might try posting on the 5th wheel forum.
  • Just use any of the good quality cleaner waxes made for a clear coat. The Collinite 845 is not a cleaner wax so it will not remove contaminants.
    I like to wash the surfaces down with a fine clay bar before putting a wax finish on since this insures that the surfaces will be as smooth as possible.
  • McGuires or Colonite fleet wax. Both are excellent products. Both require work, so an orbital buffer is a great help.
