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.

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:
ULTRA WASH[ATTACH] [/ATTACH]
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.
