Title: Waxing the rig
Post by: RV2GO on May 28, 2019, 09:15:42 pm
Interesting to know what others are doing regarding waxing their rigs, sides and top... what type of wax and are you doing the roof?

What ever the detailer uses!
Nothing special about it, use what you use on your boats and cars.

Usually Meguiar's NXT Tech Wax, except for the roof - not really wanting that to be too slick  ;)

For a quick cleanup, we use WashWaxAll, a waterless wash/wax spray, with a microfiber cloth.

I also use Aero Wash Wax All year round, easy and fast to clean the rv when traveling for 6 months.

I just cleaned up my Unity and waxed the exterior with Meguiar's Carnauba-polymer blend and used Mothers Mag polish on the wheels.  On the plastic lenses and sky lights I used Meguiar's plastic polish. Sherry Parker, the Sprinter advisor at my local dealership highly recommended Mothers products.  She has been in the automotive business most of her career.

Just a note, if you have the Alcoa aluminum rims, those have DuraBrite coating and you should only use a gentle (pH neutral) soap and water on them.  Wheel polish will destroy the DuraBrite coating.
