    Exterior Wax From Factory

    Hello all...
    New to forum and we just took delivery of our new Momentum last Friday.

    We read the exterior care part of manual and have searched both Grand Design forums for an answer to the following question.

    Does GD apply an initial wax to their panels prior to shipment to the dealer?
    We plan to wax twice per year and we keep the trailer inside our RV garage (a necessity here in Las Vegas in my opinion with our heat during July and August).
    However, it would be helpful to know if they applied an initial wax to the exterior in order to time our first wax.

    Any feedback from someone with knowledge of GD manufacturing a delivery process would be appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Wayne

    It is highly unlikely that they did. If there is any coating it would be coming from the dealer in their upsell in the finance office.

    Nope. They don't even wash them, much less wax them.

    It is easy to do it yourself, honestly only part that really needs a good coating is the front cap, unless you have FBP.

    A local guy here who did my new 2021 GMC 3500HD AT4 said Meguiars makes very good waxes that are great for decals and also they make a spray on Ceramic Wax, but make sure the RV is totally clean first.

    We just sold our Montana which was a 2018 we bought new, used Meguiars only and every decal is in perfect condition and our unit sits outside in the sun all the time, awesome stuff but you will def have to spend a weekend doing it to get a great finish, clean it good then wax and second application for the year will be easier if you keep them clean.

    I just picked up a 2017 Momentum 350M that the owner had professionally 10 year ceramic coated day 2 of owning it, and it still looks new. I can promise is cost several thousand dollars for the coating, but it’s nice.
