Which Cover For Our Class C? And Best Cleaner/Wax?

Question

Brand new to the forum and somewhat new to RVing! Excited as we found a 1999 Shasta Sprite with 19,000 miles on it..she's a jewel.

Two questions for you seasoned pro's:
1. We live in California and looking at a cover that has a strong UV resistance and found these two: the ADCO Tyvek and the Elements Dexluxe All Climate covers. Opinions on either would helpful.

2. I've seen a number of Youtube videos that tout the various cleaner/wax treatments and am open to suggestions. Our coach is in great condition with very little (if any) fading/hazing so a mild cleaner/wax is what I'm thinking. Anyone use Meguiar's Flagship Cleaner/Wax?

Others to consider?

Many thanks and looking forward to learning from you all here.

Meguiar's Flagship Cleaner/Wax is very popular and is a good product. I've just started using Protect All which is a carnuba wax based product. I really like the ease of application. I use it in a spray bottle, spreading with a small rag. Then, it wipes off very easily with a dry rag. I used it on my car and truck also and it seems pretty durable.

If you do a search on waxes, you will see lots of responses and comments about wax and decals. Can't help you with cover information as I've never had to use one.

I would do a search in the Class C section for `RV Cover' then look at Sunshield tarps which is what we use.

Lots of good waxes/polishes out there.  I've used NuFinish for years and it's economical and lasts a long time.

Maguiars RV Cleaner/Wax is what we use and it works good.

I've typically used Meguiars.  It seems to leave little or no microscratches in the paint on my cars.  The RV I'm not so concerned about that with the white finish-clean and shiny is my goal-not micro detail.  But that's what I have on hand so I use it.  Definitely like Ultimate Quick Detail and only use the cleaner wax as necessary.  The Quick Detail seems to bead water as long as anything provided the finish is in good shape.  In fact I haven't found too much difference in nearly all the cleaner wax products I've used as far as water beading goes.  Meguiars just seems to be very paint friendly from a scratch standpoint.
