I'm going to have a rv cleaning service clean my coach.
There is not much information about cleaning the exterior except to use 303 or Protect All and not to use a power wash on the decals.
Any hints. We have always run it through a semi wash over the year and 1/2 that we have owned it.
I'm thinking of having the cleaning service wash it and i would apply the wax.
Anything special for the roof?
Thanks for any comments,
Rick
Barry and Cindy have a word document that they put out about washing and waxing. Attached document below.
If you have DuraBrite wheels, be sure they don't use acid wash or wheel polish on them. Gentle soap and water only or you'll risk destroying the DuraBrite coating.
Any Idea what years or models started using the DuraBrite?
Unfortunately, no. Somewhere near 2000. The rims should be stamped/labeled if they have it.
For waxing I use "Wash Wax All" Wipe on wipe off. Very easy to use. It's not a buffing compound so it will not restore a finish but it produces a great long lasting finish. You can also use it as a dry wash.

I used Turtle Wax Ceramic car wash and it sure puts a great shine on both the coach and the car!
I was amazed at the shine.
Like Michelle said don't let the service use acid on the aluminum wheels, they call it "brighter" when in fact it has acid in it and will turn an aluminum wheel white.. Once a shine has been reached on aluminum wash with soap and water. I don't get over technical with wash and wax products, a good clear coat doesn't require much. Some good products listed above.
If we're voting for wax/polish products, I like Meguiar's NXT Tech 2.0 Wax or M21 Synthetic sealant (which is basically the same stuff, just sold to pros in a consistency that can be applied with a orbital tool).
Meguiar's Gold Class for washing, unless Steve breaks out the foam cannon (which rocks), then it's Chemical Guys honeydew Snow Foam.
