Any RV WAX and Sealent Recommendations

[pjberny5]

Looking for a good was and paint sealant for my RV. Seems everbody on the internet claims theirs is the best.

I think I started with Amazon, and comparison shopped from there. I went with Amazon (I have a Prime membership).

After a little research, it was a toss-up between the Collinite 845 and the Starbrite Premium Marine Polish Boat Wax with PTEF. The Collinitte was a couple bucks cheaper, and the label reminds me of the stuff a buddy used for detailing cars yesteryear (although I'm not exactly certain what products he used, they were outstanding). I figured, worse case scenario, it wasn't what I expected and I'd try the next Wonder Product. Turns out, I'm pretty happy with the Collinite, so far. I put it on a motorcycle's gas tank, too. It's a black paint job, and the Collinite looks pretty good. The Collinite was real easy to remove after application/drying.

A Google search will lead you to their website

Follow-up on the Collonite 845 from previous post:
A single application of Collonite 845 about 4 weeks ago. One coat. That's it. I did not use any 303 Protectant.
We took a couple trips over the past two weekends. No night driving, so the bugs weren't thick. After our first trip, they washed off with water and car-washing soap at home. Sometimes, two or three swipes, but most fell away immediately. Second trip, no night driving, but there were some pretty good splatters. I had to drop our truck camper at a storage lot, so I used a soft cloth and water from a drinking-style squirt bottle I had in the truck, squirting the front down with water and letting it set for a minute before wiping. Everything wiped off, easy peasy.

I also used Meguiars #50 fiberglass cleaner/wax for a number of years with fairly good results, although the wax would seem to build up on the micro-fiber cloth as I was putting it on. Have now switched to Meguiars Flagship premium marine wax and it does not have that build-up issue. Jury's still out on whether there is any difference from the #50. I use 303 Protectant on the the decals and all plastic parts/tires.

I like Mequires Cleaner wax. Cleans and restores, plus protects

I've used 303 Protectant on my Harleys for years as a quick detailer - paint, powder coat, chrome, plastic, windshields, etc. I use it on the dirt bikes' plastic, too. All around my trucks, in and out. After 14 years, the dash on my 1999 Chevy van looked great when I traded it in.
For the fiberglass front-cap and decal on my TC, I tried the Collonite 845 about two weeks ago. Easy application on a microfiber clothe. Be sure to shake the jeebus out of it, open the cap to get the bit of wax stuck in the neck and shake it some more. I heated it in some very hot water, shaking it and heating for a few cycles to dissipate the heat evenly. Next time, I'll try the spray-bottle attachment screwed directly into the Collonite bottle. Easy removal. Felt slicker than snot on a broom handle. I'm hoping to give it a bug test next week. I'm sure I'll use the 303 Protectant between Collonite applications for giving it a lick and a promise.

Another vote for Rejex. 303 is great for vinyl (awning, tire cover, etc.)

Maybe not the "best" but I've had good luck with NuFinish over the years. Economical, goes on and off easy, and lasts a long time. I don't use it on the decals though, for that I use 303 Aeorospace Protectant.

Your owners manual should tell you what NOT to use. Other than that, use what you find works for you. Washing my RV is doable by me in my driveway. Waxing....I use a spray on wipe off liquid and every year or so, pay someone to do the real job. Great exercise if you are up to it.

I have been using Collonite wax for years with excellent results. I just had some service done at Precision Painting and when I was leaving asked if my MH was a new one. The Service Mgr. explained it was a 2003 model and I used Collinite wax. He was so impressed he purchased a bottle of their Insulator #845 wax from me.

Having tried,I don;t know how many different brands,and had about the same results from all of them,I'm going to give Collinite a try.

Rejex is great. But be aware its a sealant, so you need to have a clean surface to but it on or it will be sealed in.

I am a firm believer in Nu Finish (polymer, not a wax). I use it on all fiberglass, plastic, and decals and have for years with great results. Easy on/off.
