Cleaners / Waxes

[HighDesert]

Pretty sure this has been beat to death, but I could not locate any older threads on this subject. Looking for recommendations for a good cleaner / wash product and wax. I was in contact with Meguiars' earlier today and was recommended to use the RV Marine Gel Wash product for cleaning and then the F;agship Premium Cleaner / Wax as a final product. I have also seen, on other forum(s) people talking about Meguiars' Ultimate Spray and Wax. Since I will be using this on a 2017 full body paint and gel coated MH - what have any of you found to be a good product that is easy to use, does not live streaking, and comes off easily and allows bugs and dirt to come off easily? No such thing as a One Fit Does All product, probably.

I use the following forum website for all my cleaning/waxing questions. They are a VERY knowledgeable group and will not lead you astray!

I have been satisfied with using Nu Finish. It goes on easy and wipes off easily. The protection is long lasting, unlike wax products. It is affordable and found at Walmart and auto parts stores.

Consumer reports says most paste and liquid waxes stay on about 6 weeks when stored outside. Spray waxes last about two weeks.

The article goes on to say how important it is to keep it clean as well as waxed.

I've used Dry Wash N Guard for years. Lasts over a year and is easy to apply. So the windshield too and rain just runs off.

I've asked before several times with no answer, so I'll keep trying. Has anyone here used McKees 37 products? The large line of products are developed specifically for RVs. The owner/developer is sitting in his own Dutch Star in the video ad. Don't know if that means anything or not but......

I'm intrigued, anyone try the products? If no one has any input this time, guess I'll try it and post a review myself. [emoji23]

Our RV is a 2015 Minnie Winnie which has graphics/gel coat/fiberglass roof. I was and still am extremely concerned with protecting the graphics and not damaging the gel coat. I am disappointed that Winnebago will not come right out and say "use this product" or produce their own. So this is what I have used or am currently using.
Marine 31 Gel Coat Spray wax, I have done the entire coach with this product. Spray on wipe off. Now I mainly use it on the fiberglass roof, beginning and end of season (WI).
I also am using Wash Wax All by Aero Cosmetics. wet or waterless wash has a wax in it. Use it mainly in the sides and rear of the coach. I like it as it is fast, but needs frequent application.
The other product I am now using is not really a wax but a polymer sealant called RejeX. After trying this product out on my motorcycle (Harley Ultra : fairing, bags, lots of fiberglass) I was impressed, high gloss, bugs just wiped off with a damp clothe at the end of the day and lasts most of the year. So have been testing it out on the front of the RV so far so good. Note: It is best to have no wax on the surface before applying as if there is wax under the RejeX it will eventually lift the product off.
If all goes well with testing on the front of the RV I will do the sides and roof. Kind of spendy but so was the RV...
Please do your own research on these products as I am no expert and still looking for the next best thing myself.

When I bought my last RV, the manufacturer and dealership recommended Protect All. I continue to use it on this one. It's not cheap, but it works. They said it's the best you can use when you have gelcoat or stickers, but they also said it's really good on full paint rigs too.

I had not heard of Protect All, I have set manufacturer the specs on my RV, just to make sure about the vinyl graphics, etc. as I didn't see, on their website where they actually mentioned vinyl graphics. Just want to make sure. Yes it appears to be a bit spendy, appears to run $45-$54 a gallon, and I haven't ascertained how much surface that covers. I will/can update after I hear back from Protect All. Thanks for your input!

For all base coat- clear coat and the windows we use;
Rejex polymer sealant once every 1-2 years depending

For all other fiberglass roof, tires, plastic, rubber seals, vent and shower covers, ac covers
303 Aerospace protectant once every 3-6 months depending

We use the rig 8-9 months per year and store it inside 3-4 months.

The Rejex people also have a cleaner from Corrosion Technonogies we use to wash the coach.

The only downside of the Rejex is they recommend applying it out of the sunlight and once done you may use a lot of towels whenever you dry it as the water beads up that much.

Works for us.
