Silicone spray is good. Silicone grease lasts longer. - LwiddisNomad IIII’m with Zig on pure silicone spray for rubber seals.
- IB853347201Nomad IIWinnebago fiberglass roofs require annual washing, inspection and maintenance.
For washing would recommend a non abrasive detergent and water like cold water tide. Does a really great job.
Annually, the roofs seams along the sides, front and rear caps, and around any vents, need to be inspected for any sealants issues. New sealent should be applied where required. Note, this is a particularly ptedominent issue with Winnebagos. Also, make sure you use the right RV sealent. Never a household silicone product, always a RV sealent like ProFlex.
Not sure I would recommend applying floor wax to a fiberglass roof ever. - jplante4Explorer IIMop 'n Glow on my Filon roof. Keeps the surface from sloughing off and making white streaks down the sides. Two coats once a year in the spring usually does it.
- zigzagrvExplorerI use Mop-N-Glow available almost any department store on the fiberglass roof.
