Sealing exterior

[Madfun119]

We have purchased a new fiver. It's being prepped. Is the exterior sealant they offered worth the money?

Can you give the name of the sealant being offered? The 10 year sealant applied to my SUV when purchased new has been wonderful. Fiberglass units can oxidize/fade from UV pretty easily. I'd be interested to know if you are being offered a wax or a permanent sealant. If it is the permanent sealant, I would highly recommend it.

Your SUV is painted, most likely with a base/coat clear/coat product. A fiberglass RV is much different. Paint sealant or not your SUV will not be affected by staying out in the Sun. Just running it through a car wash and getting their "Hot Wax" application will make your SUV look exactly the same. I have an auto dealer background and I know we made huge money on this "paint sealant" scheme.

Thanks all. That's what I figured. This is our first fiberglass unit and just wanted to make sure.

NEVER! You can get the same thing with a bottle of Nu-Finish, Simoniz Ice or one of many other polymer based polishes. Dealers make huge profits on this.

No way would I spend money on an overpriced wax treatment, same with an interior "Scotch Guarding". Give your unit a good yearly waxing and it will stay looking like new. Wash it regularly as well.

NO!!! That is just a money maker for them.
If you reallywant it you can buy that junk from any auto-body supply place for about $30/gallon.
