Cleaner Works Like Magic

Just washed my Rockwood MiniLite 2109S with little effort. I highly recommend Blue Diamond Premium Wash Compound. A little lasts forever and works like magic.

Ok but what did it look like before? Kinda sounds like an unsolicited ad to me.

Nope - no ad. We've used this stuff for years on our cars and trucks. We just completed to back-to-back weekend trips and the bugs, tar and campground and road grime came off easily.

Soap is soap. Just use car wash soap so as not to strip wax.

Cleaner

Thanks for the advice. I just got back from 11,040 mile trip from San Diego to Alaska and my Stealth 27' toy hauler is covered with bugs and tar and has many dents with paint missing in the the lower front.
I will get some and give it a try. and then wax it up good.
I am going to cover up all the dents/chipped paint by extending the diamond pattern metal shield to about half way up the front.

If anyone can recommend where I can get this shielding at and how to best apply, I would be grateful.

Thanks!

3M makes a 2-sides seaming tape made specifically for bonding aluminum panels on cargo trailers. Our cargo trailer is 15 years old and the 3M bonded seams are holding beautifully.

We've used Turtle Zip Wax Wash & Wax on our 2011 MiniLite for five years with great success and satisfaction. It removes everything the road throws us and leaves a nice finish.

@Tomgky, I can get it through my local auto parts store. If not, contact them online maybe?

Since our camper is new and only has 3 trips logged, I didn't completely wash the roof this time; just sprayed with water to wash off any debris and dirt. I have a tall folding ladder and a long handled sponge mop that I used to wash the sides of the camper and would use the same on the top.

Thanks, I tried using what the manual states and it was a waste of money, I think it was spic and span. Looked pretty much the same after I was done, but new to having a rubber roof, I didn't want to use anything that might do something bad to it.
