Wax?

I have been using Collinite's Insulator Wax #845 for every RV (TT and MH), Auto's, SUV's and custom cars I have owned since 1984. It is the easiest and best wax I have ever used. http://www.collinite.com/automotive-wax/insulator-wax/

I wax my MH with it twice a year and use less than a bottle. I also use it on my 1963 Pontiac Grand Prix and it has the best shine with on swirls or "cobwebs" being a dark blue metallic. It is all by had and does not require a buffer and comes off very easy. Durability is the best of any wax I have ever used. Collinite has many other products, paste wax, etc.

I also use Collinite wax.it has great durability,I use the 476 paste wax seems to last 8-10 month's

It depends on how much work you want to do. I used a rub-on automotive wax once, the job took me three days and I didn't get to the roof. Next time I used the 303 spray-on (not a wax, more like a UV protectant or sun-screen) and the job was still 6-7 hours of wipe on, rub off. Since then I've been washing with wash and wax formulas, that's 2-3 hours per session, so I'll do it more often.

A lot depends on the RV finish. If it is paint, it looks nicer, but might take a lot more work to keep the finish looking like new. Clear coat is supposed to keep it looking like it is waxed, but even clear coat needs maintenance. If the RV finish is bare Filon with decals, it won't be that glossy to start with, but a UV protectant can slow down aging, a wax (even wash and wax) can make it a little less dull.

Polishing and waxing cars since the 1950s (when paints were still organic and not very good) I've been through most available products since the two-three stage (polish and wax or rub out, polish and wax) Simonize days, through cleaner waxes (liquid and paste) to polymer treatments. On vehicles with good painted finishes, particularly clear coat, I like the polymer treatments, NuFinish is about the best result with the least work, in my experience.

But for a bare fiberglass sheet with almost no gelcoat, like what is used for RV coverings, the result to me is just not worth the extra work. Where I am, storing the RV indoors is more cost effective than trying to protect the finish with waxes or coatings.

I use Wash and Wax All on the RV and the cars. It works great and is quick and easy to put on and take off. You can use it with or without water.

Mequires Flagship once a year. Same stuff that I use on my saltwater kept boat.

I bought a gallon of shurhold wax on Amazon. It goes on easily and buffs off without that nasty white residue. I use it on cars, RV, even the riding mower.

Unless you're detailing a $100K hot rod, just buy one of the wax products that Walmart sells. It's not the wax, it's how willing you are to wax your coach and how often. I've tried just about every wax and have a cupboard full of them. Nothing out there is going to be magical. The Meguiars and the Turtle wax work great, but the one that seems to be easiest to apply and lasts just a smidge longer for me, is NuFinish. It's all subjective, but I seem to get about a month longer out of the NuFinish. I wax my coach about 3-4 times a year.

Wash with Full-Timers Choice.
Leaves a REAL nice shine after washing and NO spots.Unlike any other wash I have used! Sometimes hard to find. Second choice is:

Wax with Mequires or Mothers wax.

Zip Wax Combo works great.

The last few years I've paid an RV detailer to wash and wax. Much easier on me and the rig always looks great.

I use Mequires "Cleaner" wax. It not only shines and protects. But it removes any oxidation, and slight scratches, Plus removes any black streaks that may be on the side. It is decal safe, and if you do it once or twice a year. It is easy. My last TT was 10 years old when we sold it. the finish looked like new, and it sat out in the sun 12 months of the year. This one is 4 years old, and the paint is like new. so judge for yourself.

You can use a spray on that removes no flaws, or you can remove the flaws, and protect in one step.

X2. The results are more than worth the effort.
