I use Meguiar's M5001 Marine/RV One Step Cleaner Wax and it works great. Easy on and easy off.

You need to look into a product call REJEX! Most of us in the Corvette hobby would use nothing else on our Vettes and I've used it for years on my RV's. You can buy it on-line or most Tru-Value hardware stores will carry it. You'll find it's not cheap, however, you'll also find out it's hard to beat.

This is what I have used on my 2012 GT. I only apply once a year.
Very good quality wax for clearcoat, fiberglass. Has outstanding protection from the suns UV. Any I live in Arizona so I need all the protection I can find.
I also use it on myself during the summer months.

Another great option is Colonite Fleet wax. Originally developed for the aircraft industry.

The campground host at the state park where we stay has a 2004 Georgetown MH. I watched him use a product called ZEP floor polish. He absolutely swears by it. He used a sponge mop to apply it. He also says he waxes it once every 2-3 years. He also told me it does not yellow like some other floor polishes.

It really sparkled.

There are quite a few videos on you tube and here is one:

Wash and Wax Combo

I use Gel-Gloss RV Wash and Wax from Amazon. Contains caranuba wax and removes bug juice and dark stains. Excellent product.

Zep and its forerunner is an industrial vinyl floor polish. It contains no UV inhibitors so while it might look shiny on the surface the underlying finish will oxodize rather quickly. Once you apply the stuff, and it takes all the same prep work before, it is horrible to try and take off. There are also a lot of posts concerning failure of the stuff, flaking off creatingma huge mess. Use at your own rish!

Maguire's Next Gen is a soft paste made for clear coated paint. Worked great on my 53 Hudson Hornet. Many car guys us it. Works great on my GT XL.

The meguiar's cleaner wax is not good for vinyl graphics. Works good for oxidation on gel coats, but can strip color from vinyl.

I use this product as well and find it quite good, lasts a long time. Like other waxes it should not be put on decals, most waxes will dry them out over time. I use Aerospace 303 on the decals.

Greetings Fellow 328ts owner!,

I have both Formula 303 RV wax and the following:

https://www.amazon.com/Waterless-Air...rv+cleaner+wax

This system is amazing. I bought it at Goshen and was able to wax my unit. Best thing was when I got back to FL the bugs were thick. a quick wash and they all slid off. I then applied another coat.. I picked it up at the dealer the other day and sprayed the road dirt off and it looked great!
So easy and effortless. I can do he whole rig in no time!
The kit I bought came with wax, a spot cleaner for stains and streaks, applicators both big and small and pole like in the picture.

I just purchased a 2008 Georgetown 373DS the roof has a fair amount of tree sap and oxidation, what do you recommend to clean the gelcoat before applying the wax/protectant also I am looking for something easy on the vinyl graphics in case I decide to clean the side walls also. Thanks for all of your input.

I use rainx with carnuba balls in it! Looks like I just waxed it all the time! I get a lot of compliments on how it shines! Get the rainx with carnuba balls in it from Walmart!

Do you have full body paint or gel coat? Are you still liking this product? How long does a coat last?

I do not have full body paint. In FL it last about 6 months tops. And yes still love it. Very little effort.

I use Wash Wax All and 303 on my MH as well. It is safe for gel coat and graphics.
