waxing
Can the fiberglass roof on my RV be waxed?
Forum Discussion
Getting the roof clean and a good coat of wax on it, will help with keeping the streaking down. Unlike doing the sides of the coach, you can sit down, use a buffer and pretty much let the weight of the buffer do the work.
I have a cupboard full of waxes that I've tried over the past 30 years including, Rejex, Meguiars, Turtle Wax, and a myriad of other off brand products. I always come back to NuFinish. I primarily use the liquid. I take the cap off, remove the paper gasket from the cap and drill a 1/8" hole in the cap. I screw the cap back on and use it like a squirt bottle. When I'm done, I replace the paper gasket to seal it. I also carry their semi paste wax too. I use that for touch up.
I clean my 3M shield before every trip with 303. I then wash the windshield and while I'm up there (every other trip) I apply a quick coat of wax to the front cap above the windshield. It takes the most beating. I'm like Scott, it's a pride thing.
I use to wax my entire coach 6 times a year. Bad knees and a bad back have slowed me to a full wax twice a year. So it's not for everyone and as you get older it gets tougher. Take your time and be careful on the roof. Crank up your TV antenna before climbing on the roof. It helps to clean and wax around it.
Now for the really anal twits like me....I also wax my generator. It looks nice, especially if you have a one on a slide out. I know there is at least one other anal twit that does it (Scott).:)
