Recommended Wax for sides/roof?

I have a 2020 Jayco SLX 8 Rocky Mountain Edition TT with the corrugated sides. Does anyone have a good recommendation on a wax to use that will UV protect the metal and the decals? Is there anything that should be done to protect roof surfaces?

A search of that topic (top of this page) will bring up a number of threads with suggestions. This is a pretty common topic. Right up there with which truck should I buy and which tires should I buy.

The search feature is a little obnoxious but I typed it several different ways and brought up two pages of threads. About 1/3 were related to wax.



Also, I doubt that you need to wax roof. There are cleaning recommendations but waxing is not one of them.

This covers the front cap but same thing.


And my choice is Rejex: I have used it on cars, trucks, SXS, 5th Wheel and now the Class C. You can go to their web page to read up.

I’ve used Meguiar’s cleaner wax #50 for RVs and boats. Easy to apply and buff out and keeps the rig looking great. I wax carefully over the decals and they look brand new. I try to do it at the beginning and end of each season. I don’t wax the roof!

Thank you for answering the roof question - I got worried about it after this last excursion this weekend when I looked at my friend's keystone Passport with damage near the top. I think he has a delamination issue. They don't seal their stuff either and I want to make sure that I don't go through anything similar.

Maybe the search is cantankerous. I tried a few different ways and couldn't find anything. I will try again but quite frankly it is a frustration that a search tool doesn't work well.

I’m going to try 303 touchless sealant on my new TT when it comes in, it’s a diy ceramic coating (not the same quality as commercial ceramic coating, but still quite good).... I use it on my vehicles and it adds protection and depth of color.

I just ordered some Wash-Wax All. We’ll see how it works out some time next week.

Dealer recommends

Our dealer did not recommend an actual wax but this instead:

They also sell a specific cleaner for the roof. I do not have any on hand but will pick up a new bottle tonight after work cuz I am now in the middle of cleaning my unit. Let me know if you want me to post a pic of the Roof Cleaner?

Rejex probably works good for surfaces that are new and not weathered. I tried it on the faded front of my trailer and it didn't do anything. Even on the sides that still looked good but were showing some dullness didn't shine like I was expecting.

I went back to using Mothers Carnauba and it looks great now. A bit more work but I get a nice shine.

I think the information on the Web page state that fact. It is not a solution for faded, oxidized or weathered surfaces.
