Anyone wax their camper?

[kmccain]

I waxed my camper yesterday and I can't move today!

Does anyone else wax their camper and what do you use? Mine is aluminum and it is 5 years old so I decided I should use a paint restoring wax this year in stead of the spray on wax. I wonder if it was worth the effort?

Thanks for the advice!

I wax ours atleast once a year. I use Magic Mix Body Wax. Getting ready to wax our new 5'er before we go to the Fort June 22 thru 30. And yes I am always sore the next couple of days but it is worth it.

Having my unit wax this week $6.00 a foot.

We cleaned the black streaks off of ours with Simple green and ended up scrubbing the whole trailer with it to get the grunge off. It sits with a cover on it during the winter but it still gets nasty. We then waxed it with Meguairs cleaner wax. We try to wax it at least once a year. It has the aluminum panel exterior so its tought to wax. Having 2 teenagers in the house helps also.

We try to wax our coach twice a year. I have a three year old, so I rat-hole money until I come up with the $230 to get it done. (I also have the $6 a foot plus tip, because the guy is good) There is no way I could do it by myself with the DS. We also keep our coach covered when we have a long time between usage.

I wax our fifth wheel about once a year. DH got me a buffer for Christmas but it seems easier to do it by hand. Well waxing the bohemuth (sp?) is NEVER easy!! When I get done it really looks good but I ache for a few days after. My kids would just look at me and laugh if I told them they had to help wax the RV. Although DD(18) jumped right in there to help me repack the bearings!!! go figure..

When we had a TT we waxed it twice a year with Liquid Glass.

Now that we have a carport to cover the MH we just wax it once a year. Started it yesterday. Using Zymol.

I started using ProtectAll instead of regular wax, and love it! I use a sponge mop to apply it, and a long handled wash/mop to remove it.

I waxed our TT a couple weeks ago for the first time. We bought it used last summer - a '99 model Aero Cub, but I don't think the PO ever waxed it.

Ours is a fiberglass covering. I started off using ICE synthetic liqueid wax. I did 2 coats of that but it was still splotchy. I ended up doing 2 more coats with Maguires paste wax. and finally got it looking just like new.

Believe me, after the work I put into it this time, it will get done at least twice a year now.
