Wax

Wondering if there is any reason why I can't use Star Brite Marine Wax on Roo.
My father in law uses it on his boat every 6 months and his boat shines like new after 7 years. He said its the best wax he as found for his boat. Just wondering w/ the camper being made of fiberglass would it be ok to use on it as well???

Premium Marine Polish with PTEF

Did notice they make a RV version but looks to be the same as marine. Can't find the RV version local like the marine version.

I'll go you one better.I use McGuires Marine wax on my 2013 Palomino-smooth side.I put 2 coats of it on-and thick too!It was sooooo good that I put it on my Black F-150.It's $32 for a 20 oz bottle but it will do my trailer twice plus my F-150 too.

Even easier is Maguire ultimate quick wax. It is a spray on wax. Works wonders. My neighbor details cars for a living and recommended the stuff to us. I couldn't thank him enough.

Why all the one up man ship? Why not answer the simple question!
Yes, you certainally use the marine wax on your TT. Wax is wax. They all use the same base with different additives to make it their own.

The only thing you want to look for in a wax is that it has no kerosene in it. A lot of waxes use kerosene in them, makes it apply and remove easier but also does a number on decals ( causes them to lift) Most marine waxes don't have kerosene so are good to use on anything made using fiberglass.

A guy walks into the men's room in a bar and sees a drunk pouring beer from the bottle into the urinal. The guy looks at the drunk quizzically. The drunk says, "I'm tired of all this hastle - I'm cutting out the middle man!"

Have you heard of Air Force Beer? You drink one and P-38.

Sorry to steal the thread!

Any spray on wax that says okay to use on fiberglass will work, the secret is to use it and regularly.

I plan on waxing twice a year. Figure the camper is under a pole barn and covered when not in use.

Amazon has the best price on Aerospace 303...it's hard as the dickens to find it anywhere else, I have searched many a place, nobody seems to carry it...but Amazon does.

I think NAPA dealers carry the 303 also.
