Waxing

We've used it on our fiberglass 31' class c and it seems fine. Not as good as the regular Meguiar's rub on and then polish type wax but it works well enough.

It will work ok, but id say at least hand wax once a year if you can twice.

:S

I just finished waxing our 32' 5er with Meguiar's Cleaner wax, liquid rub on wipe off. I took about two days, not as easy as it was 50 years ago on my first car!!
I will do again next year, at some point I will likely hire it out. It made a big difference, really put a shine on the rig. Two more aspirin tonight before bed and I should be fine in the morning.

Wash and wax is the way to go if you hate waxing like I do. At least it gets done. I do a good wash and hard wax on the front where it picks up a lot or road dirt and bugs.

I try and do a hand wax once and maybe every other year twice/yr and then just a wash and hand wax on front when it gets grody (SP??). Just like on my cars I use Meguairs Ultimate on the TT too. If I get the really rare light black streak then I might use some cleaner wax first just on that area, but that need is rare since I installed the RainKap system.

I use Mother's Spray wax - easy on, easy off. There's no way I would attempt to wax our TT with paste wax - I don't think I would live long enough to finish the job, lol.

Supposedly it has been waxed before I picked it up at the dealer, BUT, if they did wax it, there wouldn't be black streaks on the sides.

I suppose I could get my buffer out and do it that way with liquid wax, at least then it will clean the black off. When I washed it, water did bead, so at least I know there was some wax on it.

Well maybe they used the spray on wax!
Part of waxing is to get any oxidized surface off.

I have been using Meguiars Cleaner/Wax (blue bottle) for many years with good results. But this spring I tried Meguiars Flagship Cleaner/Wax (black bottle) and it is now my go to wax. It cost a little more but the finish is great so the extra price is worth it to me. Just got home Friday from a trip and the front was bug coated and sides were very dirty. I washed the rig and it looks like I just waxed it and the bugs are gone!
I use an orbital buffer to apply wax and buff the finish, at least twice a year. Yes, a lot of work but I like the results and comments I get about my "new" rig. It is 12 years old. :C

All my RVs have been painted or clear coat surfaces. I have been an early adopter of quick detail automotive products for decades on all forms of painted surfaces. I think some of the better ones such as Meguiar's Ultimate Detailer afford just about the same level of protection as laboriously applied cleaner waxes. Of course the detailer will not polish oxidized surfaces or do much to remove buildups. My strategy is on good looking surfaces just to use the quick detailer. It beads water just as long as the hard to use stuff. If things start to show buildups, oxidation, etc. then is the time to use the more muscular products. I find the detailer greatly postpones the need for heavier treatment. Current RV is 5 years old, stored outside and the great majority of it has never been treated with anything other than Ultimate Detailer...and it shines! I will do the cleaner/waxes on a spot basis when needed. In my Walmart trips, I will buy half dozen bottles of the detailer at a time. Great stuff!

Edit: I've helped maintain fiberglass Escape/Scamp trailers. This strategy has not been as successful there. To keep them looking their best, they need more frequent polishing.
