There are several competing products.. Protect-All, Dri Wash & Guard (At least I think that's how they spell dry) and RV-Solution

All ware cleaner/waxes, all are the same wax (Carnuaba ?) same as Turtle Wax or Hot Wax at the car wash .

Fact is, when it comes to waxing cars.. that's about the best wax (so I'm not putting it down at all)

Somewhat different cleaners and binders and such... I won't compare one to the other.. I've used two of them and been happy with both.

The best product to protect you RV is the one that someone else applies!

Thats exactly what I kept telling Judy...wax on, wax off honey.

I use it all the time. Have been for a couple of years. A bit pricey but a good product. Then a friend told me to mix 8 oz.s of ProtecAll, 2 teaspoons of Dawn dish detergent and 1 quart of water and it makes a great "Dri" wash. Carry it in a spay bottle and hit the front of the coach at almost every stop. The bugs wipe right off.

A lot of body shops use dawn to remove all existing waxes before they paint. I would be reluctant to mix it with a wax.

Mike,
Thanks. I did some research and the Dawn web site faq page states not to use it for washing autos. There have been a lot of posts on other forums on how good it was for washing. Go figure.

I've used Protectall since 2004. A gallon lasts a long time.

Elkhartjim · 03-01-2010, 05:22 PM

Oh no....I thought this stuff was a wax. Now it sounds as if Judy should have washed the mh with it rather than wax on wax off. The stuff I bought instructed me to instruct her to spray a small area and then she was to wipe it off immediately. I sure hope I didn't have her waste her time.

Protectal makes a number of products. Wax and a RV wash are two of them.

I use Mcquires. I use the wash about once a month & the wash/wax about every 6 months. The Mcquires wash/wax does require it to dry to a haze and then wipe off. So far the DW has done a fine job. Black streaks and bugs come right off every time she does it.

You might want to check out a product called LIQUID GLASS. Instead of me telling you why to use it, go to amazon.com and read the reviews. Joe

Your DW does the washing and waxing eh! I believe that just as I believe Elkhartjim has his mate wax his rig.

. Been married too long , know these things don't happen!!

Maguires does make a good product though.

Dieselclacker, The closest I can get the DW to do this is have her come out & look how good it looks. LOL On the other hand she is a great lady & she would help me any time I truly needed it. She has helped me restore my cars, getting into the dirt & grime if needed.
