Is this in a orange bottle? Thought it was for cars only and have used it with very good results.

EDIT: sorry, I thought I was replying to someone about NuFinish.

I had really bad oxidation on the sunny side. I used Chemical Guys Boat Heavy Cutting compound and a Porter Cable random orbit with their yellow foam pad. Used it over the decals as well.
I like the Klasse products. All-in-One with the Glaze over that on the front cap.

Mothers synthetic marine wax. Theory being, if it's good for a harsh marine environment it's got to be good for an RV. And then Aerospace 303 protectant over all the graphics, decals and plastic trim & piece.

Makes me tired just thinking about it...

It's ok to wax the vinyl grafix. Do not take a polisher to them.

Best wax? I use to spend a bunch of time with different paste waxes. Think Collinite works best if you're going to spend the time.
With my almost complete lack of available time to dink optional work on vehicles and toys, I've been strictly using spray wax on everything. Spray on while wiping down vehicle or on a clean dry surface, wipe off, done.
Probably only lasts half as long as a good wax job but takes about 1/10 of the time.

I try to wax every month. I found CG's don't mind if you wax at your site. They usually do not allow washing.

The wash soap/wax works great AND it leaves a 'real' nice shine also.

I've tried all kinds of waxes and always come back to Meguire's as well. Seems to be easy enough to apply and lasts a while.

Some people use Zep floor wax and seem to be happy with it. I used it on a TT I was preparing to sell, and it certainly shined it up nicely.

Polish, or wax?

Polish, 3M Perfect-It EX Machine Polish, on a wool pad, on a Porter Cable random orbit polisher.

Wax, I like Zymol.
