    What Wax Are You Using?

    I have had a devil of a time with the search feature on this forum so I will just post my question.

    What 'wax' are you using for the exterior of your rigs?

    Google wasn't much of a help as each manufacturer says theirs is the best.

    I used Mequires Cleaner Wax on my last rig.
    I did have some premature peeling of the graphics and I would like to avoid that on my new rig.

    I used Zip Wash & Wax for regular washes and have no complaints there.


    Thanks in advance for your comments.

    For whatever it's worth, Consumer Reports likes Nu Finish and that's what I use. I used Zaino products on my Z06 but I'm not as picky about the 5th wheel.

    Not a true wax, but I just got the Aero Cosmetics Wash Wax All. I’ll be trying it tomorrow.

    Please report back. I've had my eye on that.

    I've just been using a jug of camco wash/wax that I got a long time ago.

    Just did the passenger side and slide. I hosed off some dirt and dust from desert boon docking and let it air dry. Then went back over with the Wash Wax All. It took me about 40 minutes but sure it will be faster now that I did it once. It took some elbow grease to get the water spots off, but not sure if I used enough spray the first time. Definitely better then wet washing and drying, so definitely glad I bought it.

    Just finished the trailer today. Took me about 1 1/2 hours to do the whole trailer. Looks great after doing it. Would definitely recommend it.

    Don't go to heavy with the WashWaxAll or you will end up with a slight haze. Have learned over the years less is better. We have been using it for several years and once every year or so a regular wax thrown into the mix

    Been using Aero Cosmetics after each use from day one. Been great. Once a year I buff with chemical Brothers butter wax.

    I've been using Aero Cosmetis Wash Wax All on my 2600RB and my truck for the last few months. I like it. Easy to apply. Nice shine. Bugs and road grime come off very easily. I bought a gallon jug from Amazon and only use a few ounces each time. I have used Wash Wax All on the front cap of the trailer every trip, and am planning to do the sides and back probably quarterly.

    Like others, I use Wash Wax All (it's very popular with the full-timers in the Escapees RV Club). That said, most experts in the detailing business say that the new ceramic protectants provide more protection and for longer. What I like about the Wash Wax All is that it's "waterless" and, if the rig isn't absolutely filthy, can be used in parks that don't allow on-site washing - a big plus for full-timers.
