Best cleaning products?

We just purchased an 09 Southwind that has a considerable amount of black paint on it, really like the coach but concerned about keeping the black clean. Wondering what type of cleaning products and wax's work the best. Thanks

I would bet that you are going to get a thousand different answers. I like turtle wax once a year. Richard

First thing I do is get it clean - then as I tend to like easy, I use - https://www.amazon.com/Nu-Finish-Liq...ywords=car+wax - Nu Finish has been my go to for years, if the surface is clean just wipe on wipe off - maybe two coats then it will last and look good all year, or longer.

JMHO,

Get you a 'clay cloth' to use first, then Nu Finish.....on my unit, it lasts a year with multiple washes using any car wash soap

What do you use on your cars, and how much time and effort are you willing to spend on your RV?

You can find my most recent detailing pontifications here in this thread, which is simply about washing, but I do not go into polishing and waxing (not the same thing) in this thread. While others proviide thier thoughts as well, not that I agree or disagree with them, but it is good conversation.

In the end, it's all about what makes you happy, not me or anyone else. The reality is, that it's more about the time and effort you spend than the products you buy, until you get really serious about it.
