At least Newmar is consistent

Do you have any particular way of doing it to be able to do a 45' coach in 2 hrs?

Which 303 are you referring to - regular 303 or the car detailer spray, spray wax, paint sealant?

Ok I’m late to this party but just discovered the clear coat issue on the roof of my new to me Ventana (came from Arizona) so...:

PM sent for contact info with Newmar. I’m hoping to do this too

Fortunately, Flexsteel took care of my issue by redoing all of it and using upgraded foam and all new covering with higher grade materials and I never had an issue again for the remaining seven years we had the Baystar.

Interesting because I had a 2010 Bay Star that didn’t live a particularly easy life (came from Texas) and it had neither issue, or any others really

X2 on method(s) request. I see this as a common part of my maintenance routine in the future

You don't need a wax, you need something that has strong UV inhibitors. I use NuFinish as that doesn't need applying as often as 303.

The furniture peeling it’s from cutting cost, everything adds up, at least they don’t cut in the important areas, your coach it’s 7 years old? Just have the seats reupholstered with Ultra leather at $800 each you didn’t think they last forever do you? Nobody make those anymore, as for your roof not much survive the Florida heat, use a uv protectant every couple of months will make last longer, I own my home going on ten years, I have spent 1/10 in Maintenace on the house as I have spent in the coach this darn RV’s are not cheap.

I’ve been seeing 303 recommendations here for years but have not had much luck applying it. I get streaks and smears that require a lot of elbow grease to remove. Obviously I’m applying it incorrectly.
How is 303 applied correctly?

I most it over the roof and the roof-to-wall radius areas, and just leave it. Everywhere else I wax and buff to a lustrous shine. I just ordered a milwaukee M18 buffer (2738-10) to ease my laborious efforts. I use these 3M products as directed:

Nothing lasts forever but his seats should have lasted longer than 7 years. I had a 2004 Dutch Star for 12 years and the seats looked like new when I sold it. An inferior quality of material was used on his coach. When you pay this much for a coach you shouldn’t have to think about replacing seats at 7 years.

The seats in my 15 year old still look great. Captains seats and the recliner are ultra leather (or equivalent) material and are still very soft with no cracking or peeling.
