Waxing every?

We have a 2017 jayco 31rlok. I was wondering if I should wax it yearly or not. If so what should I use. Thanks

Look for a wax that says ok for vynil. Plastic etc so it won’t effect decals. I try to do front cap once a year if nothing else

I use meguiars express spray wax after every wash (which is after every use). It can be sprayed on when the trailer is still wet to aid in drying and help prevent water spots. It can be used on all surfaces including glass, vinyl, fiberglass, rubber, etc.

Buy from amazon and it comes in a gallon jug. You use your own spray bottle.

I wash my trailer whenever it is dirty, usually after every trip.

The only part of my trailer that I keep waxed is the front cap. Not so much for appearance, but so that the inevitable bug splatters are easier to get off. Unfortunately, that means waxing the front cap very frequently - at least several times a year.

I have mine waxed 3 to 4 times a year by the company who washes it.

My rig doesn’t move so I wax it once a year and wash it spring and fall, with a few rinses with hose when it get dusty or covered in pollen.

I wax mine twice a year. I use Wizards Shine Master. A lot of Corvette guys use their products. Waxing my coach is a 14hr job. It's safe for graphics too. The front cap, every 2-3 washes, gets hit with Wizards Mist and Shine. The bugs pretty much fall right off when I wash it.

I have not used my Jayco Featherlite yet but I washed and covered it for winter storage and this spring uncovered it then waxed it with FW-1 wax. Relatively easy. Can I get a recommend for the best roof treatment and how often?
