Any RV WAX and Sealent Recommendations

I have been using Collonite wax for years with excellent results. I just had some service done at Precision Painting and when I was leaving asked if my MH was a new one. The Service Mgr. explained it was a 2003 model and I used Collinite wax. He was so impressed he purchased a bottle of their Insulator #845 wax from me.

Having tried,I don;t know how many different brands,and had about the same results from all of them,I'm going to give Collinite a try.

Your owners manual should tell you what NOT to use. Other than that, use what you find works for you. Washing my RV is doable by me in my driveway. Waxing....I use a spray on wipe off liquid and every year or so, pay someone to do the real job. Great exercise if you are up to it.

Maybe not the "best" but I've had good luck with NuFinish over the years. Economical, goes on and off easy, and lasts a long time. I don't use it on the decals though, for that I use 303 Aeorospace Protectant.

Another vote for Rejex. 303 is great for vinyl (awning, tire cover, etc.)

I've used 303 Protectant on my Harleys for years as a quick detailer - paint, powder coat, chrome, plastic, windshields, etc. I use it on the dirt bikes' plastic, too. All around my trucks, in and out. After 14 years, the dash on my 1999 Chevy van looked great when I traded it in.
For the fiberglass front-cap and decal on my TC, I tried the Collonite 845 about two weeks ago. Easy application on a microfiber clothe. Be sure to shake the jeebus out of it, open the cap to get the bit of wax stuck in the neck and shake it some more. I heated it in some very hot water, shaking it and heating for a few cycles to dissipate the heat evenly. Next time, I'll try the spray-bottle attachment screwed directly into the Collonite bottle. Easy removal. Felt slicker than snot on a broom handle. I'm hoping to give it a bug test next week. I'm sure I'll use the 303 Protectant between Collonite applications for giving it a lick and a promise.

I like Mequires Cleaner wax. Cleans and restores, plus protects

I also used Meguiars #50 fiberglass cleaner/wax for a number of years with fairly good results, although the wax would seem to build up on the micro-fiber cloth as I was putting it on. Have now switched to Meguiars Flagship premium marine wax and it does not have that build-up issue. Jury's still out on whether there is any difference from the #50. I use 303 Protectant on the the decals and all plastic parts/tires.

Follow-up on the Collonite 845 from previous post:
A single application of Collonite 845 about 4 weeks ago. One coat. That's it. I did not use any 303 Protectant.
We took a couple trips over the past two weekends. No night driving, so the bugs weren't thick. After our first trip, they washed off with water and car-washing soap at home. Sometimes, two or three swipes, but most fell away immediately. Second trip, no night driving, but there were some pretty good splatters. I had to drop our truck camper at a storage lot, so I used a soft cloth and water from a drinking-style squirt bottle I had in the truck, squirting the front down with water and letting it set for a minute before wiping. Everything wiped off, easy peasy.

Where did you purchase Collonite? Does not appear to be a dealer in San Antonio area.
