The Forest River recommendation at last years International Rally was to use Mothers or Maguire's products. Stated Maguire's was the best bang for the buck. RV and Boat Cleaner Wax. I've been using Maguire's M63 and M59.

Best I ever used

Been cleaning and waxing vehicles since the late 60’s. Maguires makes a polish/ compound for gel coats that gets the swirls out that works great. I used an electric polisher with a medium foam pad. It removed streaks and swirls, but a lot of work. To keep it up and not have to do it twice or even once a year I found a great product. TOP COAT F-11. This stuff is fantastic ! You can use it on gel-coat, paint, glass, plastic, denim finish, chrome, aluminum, leather, vinyl, almost anything with NO residue. Repels water better than RainX, UV protectant and makes cleaning bugs off easy. Ton of reviews on line. Just Google topcoat f11. No washing just rinse dry and apply. Plus the more you use it the better the finish will get!

That is expensive stuff, even more then 303, didn't see much difference for the money IMO. Went back to NU Finish for 8.00 bucks a bottle I think I have tired them all. If you don't mind doing it 2 or 3 times a year.

Been trying different stuff for years. Best I've found is Blackfire Wet Diamond. They also make a cleaner/sealant, Total Polish & Seal, that is good too. The Wet Diamond is the ultimate though.

You are right it is expensive. But maybe not. In the long run it may not be because you us very little, you have so many things it can be used on so it replaces other products i.e. leather and vinyl protectant, glass cleaner, chrome polish, stainless steel cleaner/polish, less washing, no residue, less time and effort. Plus it makes almost any finish look great. It goes along way when you use it as the manufacturer recommends.

Won't 303 do all of the above also for 1/2 the price? I bought it and now can't stop getting emails from them, honestly I didn't see the difference between the products, but I'm not a professional detailer either.

I belong to a car detailing site and forum that sells Blackfire products, and |I see they have the sealants and cleaner waxes etc...they also have a Blackfire Wet Diamond kit that comes with various products but not one that is specifically called Wet Diamond...is the product you are using specifically called Wet Diamond? If so can you tell me where it's available? The Black Diamond car detailing products receive pretty great reviews...I just received a sample of their car wash shampoo.

I have used 303 as well. They make a good product. I have compared them side by side. They make several products for different things that f11 does with one. The only thing f11 doesn’t do that I know of is a fabric protacant wiich 303 came out with last year and seems to work well on my 4Runner. Not downing 303, but f11 has manny more uses and the shine is outstanding and better than 303.
