Thank you, used this today and it did great at taking the black streaks away and left a nice finish. What do you use on your rubber roof? Thanks

Honestly. The only thing I ever did to the roof, was to wash it. Dawn Dishwashing liquid is good.

Aerospace 303 Protectant - SPF 40 for your stuff. All I use (no wax) on the exterior of my TT.

Auto detailing has been a hobby of mine for years and I have used a lot of products many haven't heard of or seen like Klasse, Zaino, Pinnacle, Wolfgang and dozens of other products. I do like Collinite and have been using it for years as well as Klasse products. For shine and durability, there is nothing like a synthetic sealant. It lasts for months instead of weeks . Lately, I really like a blackfire products after having detailed my truck with their sealant last winter. It sits outside and spent 4 months getting hammered with road salt and still beads water. I plan on using Blackfire Total Polish and Seal for the trailer soon.

There are special roof cleaner/treatments and doing some research you will see that there is great debate about whether it's good for or harmful to your roof.

What about for azdel material? I asked my local dealer and they told me any auto wax- I don't buy that... Thank!

I use Meguiar's Ultimate Quik Wax. I believe it is similar to the Turtle Wax ICE. Very easy to use, completely synthetic, and gives a nice wet-look.

Protectall from Camping World and some Walmarts. Nothing easier.

Peeling decals are generally a function of exposure to the sun .
Higher altitude and sunny days are tough on decals .
Trailers kept under a shed are not subject to the daily heating ( expansion ) and cooling ( contraction ) that can be detrimental .
I find that washing my trailer roof and sides after every trip is what works best in the long run .
Although I mostly use MeGuiars products on my hobby cars I prefer to use the very easy " ICE " by turtlewax .
" ICE " is just a protectant and has no polishing abilities .
However , it is the fastest , easiest to use so I use it frequently .
It can be applied in the sun which some other products do not recommend .
