I used a type wax that you applied after washing the vehicle you put the product on the towel and wipe the vehicle down while still wet. Worked great. I got a bid from a guy last summer said $600.00 bucks I said go for it never saw him after that.
How do you find someone to do it for you? a truck wash moblie type unit or how?

Thanks for all of your inputs! So far the Optimum product sounds like it is worthy of trying next. It sounds easy to apply after minimal prep, doesn't require post-application buffing by hand or orbital buffer and can be applied in the morning then bake in the afternoon sun.
I have a fear of orbital buffers as I have seen the little swirls that they can etch into the surface if a piece of grit gets blown in there from a nearby tree or if the tool is used improperly in a moment of distraction. I didn't have any black spots/streaks to deal with but the constraints of keeping the Rejex coated surface out of the sun and heat all day is just about impossible most of the year in Florida.
I have been washing my TPO roof with Murphy's Oil Soap for years as recommended in my Owner's Manual and figure that I will use it on my newly treated side-walls now to minimize abrasion of the Rejex finish (and future Optimum finish) as well. Hopefully the finish will last longer than my body takes to recover from this exercise.
Thanks again for all of your recommendations!

I often use Turtle Wax & Dry . . . .does a decent job, easy to use. But I have just recently used the Turtle Paste Wax , I did buy one of those electric buffers which really helped, took me two days to do my 31 ft. class C . . . . but man did it look good . . . . Really good . . . well worth it, although I felt pretty sore for a couple of days . . . .

For me the biggest pain is dealing with water after I dry the coach. Takes forever to dry. Anyone use this:
CRSpotless Water Systemsâ„¢ Spotless Car Wash De-Ionized Spotless Water

Understood, but it would be usable on all of my vehicles. I agree, expensive and would probably cost $10 in resin PER wash which is why I am wavering. The up front doesn't bother me as much as the recurring costs. It takes me 3 hours to wash my motorhome, 2 hours of that drying it. And then I sit nearby and revisit the spots that continually trickly water like windows and gutters!

No more waxing for me. (Well, I do have to wax the basement doors since they are aluminum)
Poliglow Products, Inc.| Manufacturer of Poli Glow, A New Concept in Boat Polish
I have this on the coach. My coach is older and had some neglected vinyl graphics, but I wouldn't trade my Poli Glow for any amount of wax now that I've had it on for a while. It's so easy to maintain and keep up now, like mopping a floor, except its on the walls of the motorhome, just a thin coat or two maintenance every year. Washing the coach is also quite easy as well.
