They all look soooo good! When ours comes home from the shop, it'll get a going over with NuFinish - thanks for the tip.

Thanks for all the kind words. I think I will use NuFinish next time. I've heard a lot about it. I had nearly let the black streaks get to the paint. (caught just in time) This is why I used the Turtle wax (when I used to wash my car for my date it would scrub pretty good) Any who, I feel like it is better protected with wax on it. As long as I keep it up, I should keep a streak free finish. I think next time I wash and wax, I'm gonna have a college Bikini Party and offer free beer. Nyuk!

I use Zaino on my trucks from my old corvette days. Love that it can go on in direct sunlight with no problem, and more importantly, comes off in direct sunlight with NO problem. For you nufinish guys, it says it can go on in full sunlight, but how is it to wipe off in full sunlight?
I live in a desert, the tallest tree around me is lower than my popup. So the only shade is on the tire.

The more I read in these forums, the more I learn - also the more confused I become. So, maybe Zaino is what I should be looking at as well since I'd have to wax ours in the sun.
We've been to the brewery in Moab. Have you?

Zaino is probably one of the best polishes on the market; at least for cars/trucks. I learned that back in my TN days when I drove Corvettes; we actually had Zaino parties.
However, I have heard good things about NuFinish and it is a lot cheaper and easier to obtain than Zaino. So I ordered some, and I'll give it a try; hopefully, they don't lie about the full sunshine application and removal.
Yes, been to the Moab Brewery many times. Most of our retirement or job transfer parties are held there since it is about a quarter mile from where I work. Might be the best decent priced restaurant in Moab. Really a busy place too.

Got a question. How do the class C owners wash and wax the forward bunk space over the cab. Just got through washing after a disney trip (love bugs). Using a step ladder and looking like a circus act doing the arm extension. I think using a ladder sucks. Thinking about some sort of high platform just to drive the nose under. Thoughts, ideas???

Can't go camping for 6 to 8 weeks, DW broke her ankle(tib&fib)
So, when not seeing to her wants and needs, I washed and waxed(Nu-Finish) the camper. Looks Great, sure wish I could use it.

Can you use the Nufinish on a fiberglass camper?

I purchased a bottle of Nufinish to wax my TT but then read on the bottle that shouldn't be used on plastic, rubber,and some other items. From this thread it seems many are using it for their fiberglass campers. So the reason for my question. Can I safely use it on my fiberglass camper?

Try the Mcguires Tech Wax. It goes on anything and leaves no white residue or dust. It is a dream to apply and buff off. I have used it on my Harleys for years because it absolutly leaves no dust or white residue. It also works on plastics & rubber parts. I even wax the windows with it.

Used Turtle Wax ICE product on mine this year, after using it past three years on vehicles. Protection is long lasting, water beads for months. Also no white residue to deal with and don't have to worry if I get it on decals or rubber seals there's no stain.

I have the Eco anti microbial protection on the inside and outside of my camper. I was told it was good for seven years. Does anyone have an opinion on whether or not I can safely wax? The dealer said I can but what do they know . Shofar I haven't needed to but it's still new. I've cleaned with with car was soap to get water stains out and bugs removed. Man this has been a bad year for the bug guts.
