Best wax to preserve exterior
Any suggestions on the best wash and wax to use to keep the exterior shiny as well as the decals?

We had a folddown with an aluminum skin and now have a TT with a fiberglass skin. In both cases I have used Meguiar's Gold Class with great results.

Protectall wax/sealant easiest so far!

I have used Protectall with good results, Turtle Wax Ice with good results. In between I wash with a wash/wax soap I found on Amazon. If my TT wasn't stored so far away, I would love to give it a coat of Meguiar's Gold Class, but alas when I am there, I don't want to spend a day or two waxing.

Being an aviator, I use Rejex on my RV as well, it is pricey though.

You'll get the most durability out of a synthetic sealant. Online vendors like autogeek carry some great products not available in your chain stores that are much better. For locally available products, Collinite is an excellent product with good durability. For someone like me who details as a hobby and enjoys the extra time and effort it takes to make things shine like a jewel, I love products by Blackfire. The single step polish/ sealant is my first choice for a bigger project like an rv. Economical? Probably not, but I can really appreciate the difference in a high end product when I'm done. Klasse ALl in One is another good one step product.

Brett, black fire is good over gel coated fibreglass and the latex decals

We had our RV Teflon waxed/sealed by the dealer when we bought it new. We have used Meguiar's since then. Meguiar's very easily removes any black streaks better than anything we have used so far including "Black Streak" remover.

Don't know if it's the same as above, but I've used Meguiar's wash/wash liquid(it's yellow), and it's been great. A couple washes a year and the skin stays shiny. So I guess, X3 or X4 for Meguiar's.

Any good wax should work well .. as always the cheaper waxes are .. well cheaper.. you get what you pay for.
