BUYER’S GUIDE

Do RV waxes work on all surfaces?

Most waxes work on most hard, non-porous surfaces.

How often do you wax RV?

Most recommend waxing your RV twice a year, every six months.

Can you wax RV decals?

It depends on the product, but usually, yes.

Do you need to wash/brush on to remove dirts before waxing?

Yes — you don’t want to seal the dirt in!

What is the best way to apply RV waxes?

Typically, spray on the wax or apply it, and then rub it off with a microfiber cloth.

Should I wax my aluminum RV?

At least once a year. But you have to be very careful because aluminum is a soft metal that is easily dented. If the scratches are small they can be buffed out with a product made for that purpose. You can buff out the scratches with aluminum polish or polish made for cleaning other metals.

CONCLUSION
