It needed a good coat of wax and the wheels polished. It looks much better than when we picked it up back in December. So far I couldn't be happier with the coach. It has been on many weekend long baseball trips and a trip to Florida so far.

How it looked after the first bath:


Now:






Polishing the wheels has got to be the worst thing as far as maintanence goes.

What did you use to polish the aluminum rims? I've tried Mothers and haven't been impressed with the results.

I'm in the process of waxing mine as well. I do a bit each day and takes me about 4 days to complete the process.

Yours is so new it doesn't require any "work" yet.

I don't care for Mothers either. The stuff I am using is a home brewedrecipe that I picked up from a guy at a truck stop a while ago. He wouldn't disclose the contents but I sure widsh I knew. It works great and for the most part is effortless to use once the wheel has been brouhgt up to a polish.

Some truck stops have decent wheel polish.

Thanks for the comments guys.
