Best Wax

What wax do you use to wax your camper?

Nu-Finish, Simoniz Ice, Rejex and several others like them, all work about the same. Wax on wax off. Last a very long time. These are not waxes but are polymer coatings. The same thing the dealers will sell you you for hundreds of dollars in their "Protection packages" You can do the same thing for $10-20.00. I do mine once a year and it really holds up.

Hi I use Meguiars marine wax M6332 goes on easy and wipes off easy. This wax has high UV protection and made to protect fiberglass. I apply wax with a random orbit wax applicator.

Hope This Helps Tim

I wax the cab with Liquid Glass every six months and i power wash the Gelcoat with Thefords premium wash and wax when it needs it. Low pressure of course

What do y'all think about collinite 845 insulator wax? Safe for the entire exterior?

I don't mind waxing the steel cab periodically but i'll stick with pressure wash and wax the house.

I second REJEX, best of the bunch. A bit pricey for sure but it is a great protectant and the bugs will wash off your RV like never before!

A word of caution on pressure washer use. It is very easy to lift caulking around windows or decals if not used very carefully. Some dealers use pressure washers for convenience, which I believe is why many new RVs have leaks.
As for wax, I use Meguiars NXT. It s a polymer not a wax and works well on aluminum, fiberglass and painted units and holds up well to weather. One of the best features is that you can wax the entire unit let it sit for hours and it wipes off like dust. I have been using it on my RVs and vehicles for several years with great results.

Nu-Finish (polymer). Use it on all of my vehicles. Easy on and off and lasts very well. I over do mine. Gets the treatment after every trip.

Liquid Glass, on both my car and cab of my C. First application twice and let bake in the sun for a couple of hours, then after every six months or there about. I apply mine just before love bug season and before I put the bra on the car. last time I purchased $31 a pint in Advance Auto, but I saw It on Amazon for $21.00. The more you apply the more it builds up and a pint goes a long way

Well I would be careful what anyone would use based on the exterior...Gel Coat VS full paint...my last RV was a Gelcoat with decals...Used the Liquid Glass product for years..Now my new FR is full paint and I use a product called Duraglos....excellent results...with 4 coats of factory clear I want her to stay beautiful...here are pics of them detailed..

I don't use liquid glass on the gel coat. I use Thetford wash and wax on the gel coat. Mix it in with my pressure wash and wash off with low pressure and brush where needed and occasionally do the roof. Nice rig you have there.

Hi... I'm an old lady with a bad left ankle and a bad right knee. Ladders are not my friend! Is there something I can use to wash and wax my toy hauler and not have to dry? Something like the car wash waxes?
thanks..

I don't wax the house. Just wash it with Thetfords wash and wax. Get an extension brush, mix in a pail of water, brush on and hose off, I also use it in my pressure washer occasionaly.
