I use Zaino since that is what I use on my truck.

Thinking about using Collinite 845. It seems to hold up very well.

Never heard of it, but then most people have not heard of Zaino.

Last year I put on Meguiars Ultmate Wax and that held up nicely. This year I tried a new product that Meguiars released called Paint Protect 365. Doesn't give any shine or correction ability, it is simply a sealer/protector, but so far so good. It is holding up nicely. I didn't need any correction as my camper is still new and shiny.

I use Collinite insulator wax. Used it on my boat for 17 years still looked new when I sold it.

I use Full Timers choice Wash/ Wax. Works well and gets the bugs off too! I have never waxed my rig and it looks like new!

Available at Walmart.

I use a wash and wax product by the people that make purple power, it has worked well for me and Freds usually has it sale.

I am going to buy some of this and try it. It sure would be nice to block the UV rays.

I am lazy so I am willing to pay a bit more if something really works. 1/8 cup of this soap will give you really slippery sudsy wash water:

This wax is good for 3+ months:

In a pinch Meguiars makes a good spray on wax too but it's more expensive per unit volume.

When finished with polish of choice, use Black Chrome or others to quickly bring back the black trim.
