Poli Glow on new mh
We bought a 2015 Forest River Georgetown in July. I'm planning on giving her a bath and putting on Poli Glow this weekend.
My question is, are there any special considerations I need to be aware of with respect to the factory coating? Will the Poli Glow adhere properly? Can I even use Poli Glow on a brand new unit?
Thank you for your time.

I personally would not! Used that crap on my fiver a few years ago. After a year it started looking horrible. Still paying for that big mistake. Use a quality wax. At least any mistakes are easily corrected.

Most paint companies want you to wait a while before putting anything on. Might want to check with the RV manufacturer and see what they say.

Poly glo is great for old,faded surfaces. ( I use it on my boats) But I would personally go with a high quality paste wax with UV inhibitors to preserve the current new finish. I use ICE - goes on easy and off pretty OK. Gives a long lasting protection

Thank you all for your inputs. I did more research and the Poli Glow is definitely out. Looking at Protect-All for the coach and 303 for the tires. Thanks again!!

Personally I use Dry Wash N Guard and have for many years. Even water doesn't stick to the finish.
Yes, I USED to be a distributor/dealer for them but quit it some years ago, but I still use the products since they are good.

Per above you need to wait. Some say 6 months even prior to waxing. Needs full curing time.
Personally wouldn't use Poly Glo on a new rig.

I use Protect All on lights, plastic, glass, etc. It is too light for the body. I use Nu Finish or Meguiars on the body.
