Hi Duane, The information in this video is still alive and well 5 years later. I recently purchased wash wax all through your Amazon link with a deluxe pole which I'm very happy with also and it worked great. It was easy. I've used it a couple of times now and my class c looks as good as new. Thank you for making these informative videos for keeping my rig shiny!
That's so great to hear Zanobia. I still use it all the time on both of our RVs too. I wish more folks would just give it a try. I'm sure it would be helpful if they did. Thanks for sharing your experience here and I hope you have lots of fun adventures in your shiny Class C!
Thanks Duane, I went to the Grand Canyon last month. It was spectacular. Now I'll be in search of Aspen trees and a nice place to camp and kayak right on a lake. Have fun in your shiny RVs also!
I watched the video and it seemed much too easy to be true. As most of you know, most claims like this are often a rip-off. That said, I ordered the product and gave it a try. To my utter amazement, it was extremely easy to use, and did a fantastic job on my Class C motorhome. I recently drove my motorhome from my home in Maryland to Wyoming and back, and then to Michigan and back, so it was very dirty when I got around to cleaning it. About and hour later, it looked brand new again. I couldn't be happier! Thank you Duwayne for your advice.
Thank you so much Stephen for that great testimonial for the product and process. I was blown away when I first used it too. It's easy to be skeptical until you actually try it. Nobody I know that has given it a fair chance has been dissatisfied so far. Thanks again for sharing your experience with us.
A retired NYC window cleaner for 36 years,bought a beautiful class c 28FT RV last spring,all my tools from windows works great,I squeeze the water off and use a wonder wond to clean and shine.Nice product here
The man from RV street told us about this product. And let me tell you my honey is 77 and we got out there together and were totally amazed at how clean it got the RV it had black streaks and they came off. It was so amazing. It's a New 2023 we got it this year around April. Love this product. We weren't able to finish the whole thing today but we got one side and 1 end. And tomorrow we will finish. Thank you thank you for verifying how good this is.
So glad to hear about your experience Christina. I try to tell everyone that I can about these products, but some people just don't get it. I think it means more when it comes from someone like yourself that is happy and satisfied with it. Thanks for both watching and for leaving such a nice comment!
WWA is good to use on almost any area of an RV except for cloth awnings. But it's great for paint, gelcoat, plastic and glass. I will have an updated video coming out in just a couple of weeks about the product and the pole system. Thanks for watching!
Hi Jerry. Here are links to all the products featured in the video Aero Cosmetics Wash Wax All pole system kit - amzn.to/3ZeV6oe . Meguiar's Fast Finish paint sealant - amzn.to/4gbs9PX . Cerakote ceramic paint sealant - amzn.to/3XhwgS5 I hope that helps.
Duane, do you have to pre-wash the coach? I have a film on my RV after an 800 mile trip that I can write my name in. Will this product and process scratch the finish if a film of dirt is visible?
Hi Joseph. It hasn't harmed my paint even when the coach was very dirty. And it does a great job every time. The only time I wouldn't use the product is when there is caked on mud present. Also, I have updated this video recently and you can watch my most recent comments on this system here - th-cam.com/video/CQRVxJkUvR4/w-d-xo.html
Even with a ceramic coating you will still need to keep the exterior clean and this pole system works exceptionally well for that. I have been using it for 5 years now on both of my RVs. I made a newer video about the process that may help and you can view it here - th-cam.com/video/CQRVxJkUvR4/w-d-xo.html . And you can find the pole system I use here - amzn.to/3ZeV6oe
Hi David. Supply chain issues are hitting all kinds of products these days. Hopefully the pole system will be in stock shortly though. I wouldn't be without mine. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel!
I use one of two methods. The first is that I can just spray it liberally on the mop head I use and then apply it with a pole system. The second is the spray bottle comes with a sprayer that can be adjusted from a wide pattern to a very narrow pattern that goes far. So I often turn the sprayer to that position and it reaches the top of my coach easily.
I'm commenting simply for your amazing salesman skills. That's not sarcastic! I'm truly impressed with your presentation. My RV is too old for this product but if it weren't I'd be a big buyer! Subscribing to your channel.
This looks like a pretty awesome system. I happen to be in a very dusty off-grid area right now. A steady flow of diesel dump trucks keep going by. You think this product is ideal even with a significant layer of dust on the outside?
Cleaning the exterior of our 32 foot motorhome has required the use of long hoses, multiple poles and special mopheads, a ladder, an electric orbital polisher and two days. I recently ordered the Wash/Wax All system and in about two hours it looked better than ever! The extension pole alone is amazing; I am 5'2" and could never reach the top of the MH to clean it without getting on the roof...not a safe process at all. Now I don't need to leave the ground. This system will make it easier to maintain the MH more frequently and on long trips. The only downside is finding a use for all of the cleaning equipment I'll never need again! One question: Is there a way to give the small spray bottle a stronger stream so it can reach the highest points on the MH?
I'm glad it's working so well for you Jane. I love the Aero Cosmetics pole and mops too. They make the whole system so much easier. Thanks for sharing your experience with us. I think the bottle has a twist end that allows you to choose between a wide and a narrow spray pattern. At least mine does. I have no problem reaching the top of my coach with that narrow spray setting.
I have regularly used the products mentioned in this video for 4 years now. And my coach has been in various stages of dirtiness when I cleaned it. The point of this video's demonstration was not to show whether it cleans when the coach is dirty or not. It was to show how easy it is to use the system. I know that there are many who just can't adjust their thinking to accept that a waterless wash and wax product like this can be used safely on a regular basis. If you are one of those, there is probably not anything I can say or do to convince you otherwise. If not, just try the product for yourself and see what you think.
In the video you apply the product to the RV and the pole head. Don't you need a ladder to apply the product up high or do you not need to apply the product directly to the RV? Thank you.
Good question Michael. When you first start out it's a good idea to apply the product on both the mop and the RV to get the mop head thoroughly primed with product. But as I go along after the mop head has plenty of product on it I often just apply it to either the mop head or the RV instead. Also, the bottle they send with the product has two spray patterns. One is a wide pattern that is good for applying the spray to the mop. And the other is a narrow pattern that lets you apply it well to higher places on the RV. So no ladder is needed when applying the product. I will be making a newer video that updates this one very shortly and demonstrate what I'm talking about here. Just keep an eye out for it.
Wash Wax All actually works pretty well for temporary protection of rubber seals on an RV. But I would recommend a different product for the slide seals to make sure that you keep them as supple as possible over the long haul. You can read about it in my blog post here - rvinspectionandcare.com/rv-slide-out/ I hope that helps.
Rubber roofs mainly benefit from being kept clean Pam. But if it is an EPDM rubber roof, there are some coatings that can be applied every so often to extend the life of the roof. Just search Amazon for "EPDM rubber roof coating". Also, thanks for the suggestion about the yearly maintenance schedule. I'll see what I can do. Thanks so much for watching!
RV Inspection And Care thank you. We have a Newmar Ventana 2017. Embarrassed to say we don’t know which roof we have. We were having the coached washed next week (we are 73). They suggested the conditioner and we had never heard of the product.
@@dpfreeman1 From what I read Pam, it is most likely a TPO roof which is another type of rubber. roof But it is possible that it is a molded fiberglass roof as it was offered as an option for that year. Sometimes the conditioners that are sold as upsells by detailers are good and sometimes they are a waste of money in my experience. But just keeping the roof clean will be a good thing to do no matter what roof you have.
Older RVs often require some compounding or polishing to get the exterior in the best shape possible first. But once that's done, this system will help keep it there with regular use. I hope that helps.
@@RVInspectionAndCare thanks this may pertain to another video I watched. Would you recommend the Henrys 887 silicone roof coating for a 96 four winds class c ? I want to do some mainteance on it. I had the roof sealant done professionally 2 yrs ago but RV has sat in storage. I had a broke leg and unable to maintain it. I have alot invested in my RV I want to keep it nice. I Think it may be tpc roof type. The RV is kept out in the open parked lot at RV storage place in Indiana.
The products in this video are all made by one company and they are made to work properly together. If you are hesitant to use the system because it is not specifically recommended by Tiffin, then you probably shouldn't. The online reviews for the products are overwhelmingly positive and include many happy RV owners. But the choice of whether to use the system or not is up to you.
I understand your caution about that Koko. But as I said in the video, the process works just fine as long as you 1) use the right wash and wax product, and 2) use high quality microfiber towels or mops. I recommend that you look up the wash product that I listed in the video comments on Amazon and read through the thousands of reviews, many of them from RVers. As you will see, the product actually does what it says it does and if you do it properly, won't scratch your paint. If it seems too difficult to accept that this system works without causing damage, you can always just use soap and water. But it will take you a lot longer and require more effort to get the same results. Thanks for watching and asking this question though!
Liked and subscribed Duane.Question for you.I really like what you did here but how would you go about cleaning the front of a fifth wheel that is covered in bugs?Thank you sir,Richard
That's a great question SCM. If there are lots of bugs on the front end they need to be handled first before doing the waterless or rinseless wash and wax of the RV. There are good bug removers available on Amazon that can help make that chore much easier. Once the bugs are removed you can wash and wax as normal. And the more often you use WWA on the RV front, the easier it is to remove the bugs too.
In your demonstration, your RV was perfectly clean. Are you saying this product will clean mud and bugs off of my RV at the same time applying wax vehicle? Wouldn't the wax seal in any dirt or bugs not clean? I am reluctant to wax my vehicle if the bugs and dirt are not completely cleaned off first.
Hi John. WWA works by lifting the dirt and grime off the surface which means that the light wax that is left behind does not seal anything to the clean surface. If you have bugs on the front of your rig, I recommend getting them off first. Aero Cosmetics sells a nifty bug sponge that helps get them off fairly easily. But there are other products for bug removal that are pretty good too. Once you start using WWA and it starts laying down the wax protection with each usage, it gets easier and easier to clean your rig. Eventually, it takes no time at all.
I know that it is hard for some folks to give up the old bucket, ladder and wash mitt ... :-). But if you use the right high quality microfiber mop heads along with the right waterless wash you don't have to worry about scratching your coach. And this system allows you to wash and wax your coach often through the year so there should not be any massive accumulation of dirt and crud present on the exterior. My coach looks like it's 15 years newer than it is and I get compliments on it all the time.
The nozzle on the WWA bottle has two settings, one for a wide spray and one for direct spray. I use the direct spray setting and it usually reaches close to the top of my motorhome. If it's still short, just spray enough directly on the wet side mop head to apply it on the top of the RV and use the dry mop side to wipe the excess off. I hope that helps.
During your washing, do you need to rinse the wet side any time during your cleaning session? I would imagine that after completing about 15 ft of this, the wet side maybe pretty dirty?
You could do that Khan, especially if the RV was very dirty. You also could just switch out the microfiber mop on that side with a new one, or if you are using a microfiber towel, just switch to a new one of those. I can wash and wax my 40 foot MH using just two four mop heads using the pole system.
Hi Glenn. That pole was sold by Aero Cosmetics and as far as I can tell they no longer sell that particular pole. But here is a link to the poles that they offer now - washwax.com/collections/poles
I agree, I am quite skeptical when I see the product demonstrated on an immaculate, shining 4'x4' section of rv. Why not a before and after of a whole dirty coach? My paint and protection are in v good shape but I have water spots and run lines all around it. How would I know what this does?
I just started to wash my 1996 Rexhall Aerbus, 32' . . . and stopped. I threw away my leaking spray nozzle and wash brush. I've simply neglected the outside of my RV too long. There's no substitute for regular cleaning, regular maintenance.
@@RVInspectionAndCare There are additional problems with owning/maintaining a motorhome . . . storage. I just received an email notice that the cost to park/store our motor home will increase to $163.99 per month ($1967.88 per year) beginning April 1st. It's not an April Fool joke. Thinking people will weigh all the costs of owning an RV before they make the decision.
I’ve watched 2 of the 3 videos on RV care and cleaning. I have a question. Have you used 303 or F11 products? If so, what is your opinion? BTW, just had a set of tires replaced on my Allegro and had the flowthru valve stem covers added. What a great idea. Checking air PSI is now a breeze. Thanks for the tip!!
Hi D.C. I am a huge fan of 303 Aerospace Protectant and use it on anything I can that has rubber or plastic. It's one of the best UV inhibiting products out there. I have not used F11 but I have heard good things about it. As this video says, I prefer to use WWA along with the Aero Cosmetics pole mop system for most of my RV cleaning and waxing. I also use a rinseless product called ONR (Optimum No Rinse) when the coach is really dirty instead of WWA. Both products apply a layer of wax protection as you clean. But twice a year I use a synthetic wax from Meguiars called Fast Finish that applies a long-lasting layer of protection. Again, I apply it with the pole mop system. All of this is very simple and easy to do and I find that I don't need anything else to keep my coach looking great all the time.
Hi Mark. It can be used that way. But if you are cleaning your RV roof, you should use a more aggressive cleaning process like the one I demonstrated in this video - th-cam.com/video/zBiyfGLQNig/w-d-xo.html Also, this product puts down a slick layer of wax and that's not what you really want to do on an RV roof for obvious reasons. Thanks for watching!
Yes, that's about as long as I would trust the wax in it to last. Most RV and car waxes only last about about a couple of months. That's why I use the synthetic wax in Meguiar's Fast Finish to extend the life of the wax protection out to six months or more. So if you apply the Fast Finish and then use WWA in between every 1 - 2 months, your RV will always look great and be protected.
I was originally looking into a Wax based product so I can somewhat preserve and keep my paint on my darker vehicle looking new. Came across this product and you seem knowledge in it so I just want to know, is this product itself okay as a Wax finish? I know you mentioned in the video that in another video you'll show us a product which can keep it good for a year. But in terms of this product you're showing, is it enough of a Wax to achieve what I want, and how often should I do it to maintain a protective coating for the paint? Not sure if matters, but this is for a Pick up Truck, not an RV.
Good question. The wax components of Wash Wax All work very well. But like most waxes, in my experience it only lasts a short time. It's not very durable. But if you use the product often enough, you still get good wax protection. The good news is since you are using WWA to wash the vehicle, you also apply wax each time you wash it. So if you wash it often enough with WWA, you always have a layer of wax protection. But I highly recommend applying a synthetic wax like the product in my other video to make the protection last much longer. You can watch that video at this link: th-cam.com/video/2YhUBc8pWaQ/w-d-xo.html . By the way, WWA works well on almost any surface of a car or RV. It's really great stuff.
@@RVInspectionAndCare Yeah ended up watching the video and picked up some. Deal at PepBoys (not sure if local) going for 9$ a bottle so I picked up a few Meguiar's. Got my first vehicle last month. Garage is too small for a Truck so I'm parking it outside. Its a Dark Grey so I'm looking into waxing and paint protection. Discovered this Wet/Waterless wash/wax alternative, figured now is a better time than never to teach myself how paint protection works. And these seem very easy. I've been told that generally speaking you'd want to get your vehicle wax'd at least twice a year. once every 3 months recommended. Considering these are not your traditional type of waxing/paint protection should I increase this to say,. once a month or so? Thank you for all the details and great information
@@c313zk6 Paint protection is an interesting and confusing subject because there are so many products out there making all kinds of claims. But generally speaking, most waxes have some form of carnauba in them. It makes for a brilliant shine but doesn't last long. I wouldn't trust a simple wax to last more than about a couple of months especially if it is kept outside. The next step up in protection is synthetic waxes that can last much longer. The Meguiars product is in that category. Even though it says it will last up to a year I don't go more than about 6 months before reapplying it. At the top of the protection scale are the coatings. They last a very long time, even years in some cases but they are very expensive and many are finicky to apply. I am always looking at cost/reward ratios, so in my opinion the most cost effective paint protection is where you apply a good synthetic wax twice a year and use a good wash and wax product in between every week or so. I hope that helps. :-)
WHY is it that fibreglass boats & Rvs start to show oxidation after only 2 years or less while Corvettes which are also fibreglass holds their shine for years & years & years? !
Here is the link to the last video in the series Rejean - th-cam.com/video/2YhUBc8pWaQ/w-d-xo.html It's about how to maintain paint protection on the RV exterior for months at a time. And it's very simple and easy to do.
This seems more like a finishing product. If the RV is really dirty with mud, bird poop, dried bugs, etc., you would have to rinse it off after cleaning, then dry and apply this stuff. Also, you would need a ladder to be able to spray the stuff on unless you are ten feet tall, so how do you do it without ladders as you claim? Sorry, doesn't compute.
I have personally used these products for 4 years now and it has kept my 40 foot diesel pusher shining like a diamond. And it's one of only a few products I know of on Amazon that has thousands of reviews that rate it close to 5 stars. But I get the feeling that no matter how I explain it to you, you just aren't going to be ready to try it. So don't use it. There are plenty of other more expensive and more labor intensive ways to keep your RV washed and waxed. By the way, the spray bottle that comes with the product features two spray methods, a widely dispersed spray pattern and a long distance spray pattern that easily reaches to the top of my coach so I don't have to use a ladder. But you probably don't believe that either.
@@RVInspectionAndCareI'm sure the product works fine as you used it. I guess you should have shown how it easily sprays to the top of the wall and how it easily removes dried on bugs and mud with one pass so we can really see how, "That is as simple as it is."
Even when this product encapsulates dirt you will induce fine scratches in your coach by pushing contaminants into the clear coat with the mop head. There is no replacing a foam prewash followed by a foam friction wash and finished with a high quality spray wax. Don’t scratch your coach, high a professional and preserve and protect your investment.
As I said in the video, there are some folks who just can't wrap their head around how this process could actually work. But there are lots of us who use it regularly and get great results. As long as you use the right waterless wash product and the right high quality microfiber towels or mops, the process is safe and effective. Of course, everybody has a different level of comfort for the way they like things done. And if you choose to pay lots of money to RV detailers to feel that you have gotten the best job possible, that's great for you and your rig. But it's not necessary for everyone else.
RV Inspection And Care it’s your money and your finish. It’s the same with vehicles, some folks view their vehicle as an investment and treat it accordingly, while some do not. To each his own.
@@osagetorch8045 And some people still think washing the floor with a toothbrush, or cutting a winter's supply of firewood by hand is better. To each his own.
Hey I have a detailing company and wanted to say thanks for your videos they really Helped me! Where can I buy just the brush that your using??? I only want to purchase the wash/wax brush. If you could let me know that would be a blessing. Thanks again!
Hey Bass. Glad you enjoyed the video. A lot of pro detailers are getting on the waterless bandwagon these days. I love using it on my rig and the mop head and pole is what really makes it sing. I think you can only get the mop and pole by itself from the Aero Cosmetics website. This is the link for it - washwax.com/collections/cleaning-tools/products/waterless-wash-wax-mop If you are going to use it for a commercial application you may want to upgrade the pole. You can find a commercial version of the pole on their site pretty easily. I hope that helps
This may work for cheap RVs but will be a disaster for paint work that is over $100,000.00! The paint on a RV is just like a car. Yes, a motorcoach has acres of surface area and would be a real pain to wash and wax properly. But as everything else in life, there are no short cuts. I would not use this on a $300,000.00 Ferrari and if I owned a motorcoach that costs close to 7 figures, I wouldn't do it.
LOL! I was wondering how long it would take before I got a comment like this about this video. Actually, I'm surprised that it took as long as it did! There are lots of strong opinions about this subject out there. As I said in the video there are lots of folks who just can't wrap their head around this concept of waterless or rinseless washing. They are absolutely convinced that you will be doing serious harm to the paint on your RV if you use the method I describe in the video. But it simply is not true. Almost none of these folks have actually ever tried waterless washing. They just can't imagine that it works and therefore advise everyone else not to do it. Almost everyone who actually tries it is immediately impressed with the results. And many switch to this kind of exterior RV care after using it with good results. Also, these products are especially attractive considering how many RV parks and campgrounds do not allow washing your RV by the "normal" methods. I just checked Amazon and WWA has been reviewed almost 5000 times and it has a 4.5 star rating. If it was destroying clear coats like so many want you to believe that would not be the case. But if waterless washing is just too far out of the norm for you, why not consider rinseless washing? At least you are using some water in this process. Not much, but some. I made a video about it here - th-cam.com/video/Th-m2T5HJhI/w-d-xo.html Having said all of this, if you choose to wash and wax your RV using the old soap, buckets, ladders and hose method that is just fine. It's tried and true. But it's also time and labor intensive if you do it yourself and expensive if you pay someone else to do it the right way. With the products that are available today for auto and RV exterior care, none of that is necessary any more.
@ Ha! Ha! I have to chuckle a little bit because you are proving the point of my video. You are one of those folks that most likely will never be able to get it when it comes to this kind of process. I don't have any problem with that. Whatever method you use for keeping your coach clean and waxed is up to you. The disagreement I have is with your statements about the kind of clear coat harm that can be done by using either waterless or rinseless washing. Actually many professional detailers of all kinds are using these methods these days. Not all of them, but many. When it comes to ways of caring for exterior paint on autos, there are so many conflicting ideas and methods with strong opinions on all sides. So I wouldn't expect that all detailers will switch to any one one method. As far as scratches are concerned, the reality is that all kinds of things can scratch clear coats on auto and RV paint, including using the old soap and water method. Scratches are inevitable on anything that spends almost all of its time outdoors and going down the highway. But some people take the avoidance of scratches to an extreme. And if that's what they want to do, that's fine. But waterless and rinseless washing and waxing does not impart more scratches than using any other kind of exterior care method if it is done correctly with the right products. My coach is a 40 foot DP with full paint and I use these products on it almost every other month because it only takes about an hour of my time to do so. And I am constantly getting complete strangers telling me how great the paint looks. If you read the reviews on Amazon you will see that my experience is not unique. However I appreciate your opinions on the subject and respect them. They are most likely the best choice for your particular needs.
@ Thanks for your opinion on the subject. I appreciate that you expressed it clearly. Unfortunately, we are going to have to agree to disagree about this. If you haven't tried it and done it properly as directed, you just don't have all of the facts. Happy and safe travels my friend!
I find it interesting that you fail to acknowledge the possibility of pre-rinsing/air-drying the RV as an option before using this product. And if you really think that the soap-and-water method does not cause micro-scratches with dirty water (using your same argument), I have some real estate on the moon to sell to you. I'm betting you are just a negative person and resistant to changing. Do you still use a rotary phone? Your hyperbolic statement: [it] "will be a disaster for paint work that is over $100,000.00!" with absolutely no supporting evidence is certainly based on ignorance. Why don't you come clean (pun intended)? It could be good for your self-esteem.
@ Again, you are shooting from the hip and using a cap gun. Perhaps if you reflect on your post a bit, you may have a chance of noticing that you did not respond to his suggestion of rinsing the RV prior to using this product. So that makes two points in the thread that you completely ignore. Your only point seems to be: Simplicity is always inferior ---- and with f**k-all to back it up. Pretty pathetic.
Hi Duane, The information in this video is still alive and well 5 years later.
I recently purchased wash wax all through your Amazon link with a deluxe pole which I'm very happy with also and it worked great. It was easy. I've used it a couple of times now and my class c looks as good as new.
Thank you for making these informative videos for keeping my rig shiny!
That's so great to hear Zanobia. I still use it all the time on both of our RVs too. I wish more folks would just give it a try. I'm sure it would be helpful if they did. Thanks for sharing your experience here and I hope you have lots of fun adventures in your shiny Class C!
Thanks Duane, I went to the Grand Canyon last month. It was spectacular. Now I'll be in search of Aspen trees and a nice place to camp and kayak right on a lake. Have fun in your shiny RVs also!
I watched the video and it seemed much too easy to be true. As most of you know, most claims like this are often a rip-off. That said, I ordered the product and gave it a try. To my utter amazement, it was extremely easy to use, and did a fantastic job on my Class C motorhome. I recently drove my motorhome from my home in Maryland to Wyoming and back, and then to Michigan and back, so it was very dirty when I got around to cleaning it. About and hour later, it looked brand new again. I couldn't be happier! Thank you Duwayne for your advice.
Thank you so much Stephen for that great testimonial for the product and process. I was blown away when I first used it too. It's easy to be skeptical until you actually try it. Nobody I know that has given it a fair chance has been dissatisfied so far. Thanks again for sharing your experience with us.
A retired NYC window cleaner for 36 years,bought a beautiful class c 28FT RV last spring,all my tools from windows works great,I squeeze the water off and use a wonder wond to clean and shine.Nice product here
Interesting ideas there. Thanks for watching and leaving us some nice suggestions!
Just built an RV port for our motorhome. Now it's really protected.
Yes, that will certainly help a lot to protect the RV exterior. Thanks for watching.
The man from RV street told us about this product. And let me tell you my honey is 77 and we got out there together and were totally amazed at how clean it got the RV it had black streaks and they came off. It was so amazing. It's a New 2023 we got it this year around April. Love this product. We weren't able to finish the whole thing today but we got one side and 1 end. And tomorrow we will finish. Thank you thank you for verifying how good this is.
So glad to hear about your experience Christina. I try to tell everyone that I can about these products, but some people just don't get it. I think it means more when it comes from someone like yourself that is happy and satisfied with it. Thanks for both watching and for leaving such a nice comment!
My first time listening to your video and I am in. Looking forward for the many mores
Awesome Andre! Thank you for both watching and leaving positive feedback too. It's much appreciated!
It took me 6 months to finally pull the trigger on the $75 pole cleaning kit, lol. Spending $200 on a washing kit is crazzzzy.
LOL. I understand. But I'm sure you'll be happy with it as long as you use the right products.
All well, to the extent demonstrated. What about such as windows and awnings? Also, what about cleaning windows?
WWA is good to use on almost any area of an RV except for cloth awnings. But it's great for paint, gelcoat, plastic and glass. I will have an updated video coming out in just a couple of weeks about the product and the pole system. Thanks for watching!
Hi Duane, how can I purchase this exact pole cleaning kit for my RV cleaning? Thanks, Jerry
Hi Jerry. Here are links to all the products featured in the video Aero Cosmetics Wash Wax All pole system kit - amzn.to/3ZeV6oe . Meguiar's Fast Finish paint sealant - amzn.to/4gbs9PX . Cerakote ceramic paint sealant - amzn.to/3XhwgS5 I hope that helps.
Duane, do you have to pre-wash the coach? I have a film on my RV after an 800 mile trip that I can write my name in. Will this product and process scratch the finish if a film of dirt is visible?
Hi Joseph. It hasn't harmed my paint even when the coach was very dirty. And it does a great job every time. The only time I wouldn't use the product is when there is caked on mud present. Also, I have updated this video recently and you can watch my most recent comments on this system here - th-cam.com/video/CQRVxJkUvR4/w-d-xo.html
Where can I buy the deluxe pole? We have ceramic coating on our 5th wheel.
Even with a ceramic coating you will still need to keep the exterior clean and this pole system works exceptionally well for that. I have been using it for 5 years now on both of my RVs. I made a newer video about the process that may help and you can view it here - th-cam.com/video/CQRVxJkUvR4/w-d-xo.html . And you can find the pole system I use here - amzn.to/3ZeV6oe
I wanted to purchase the pole system and it's out of stock and don't know when it will return.
Thanks for the great video I subscribed.
Hi David. Supply chain issues are hitting all kinds of products these days. Hopefully the pole system will be in stock shortly though. I wouldn't be without mine. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel!
Interesting video, but how do you spray the product up high on the coach where you can't reach?
I use one of two methods. The first is that I can just spray it liberally on the mop head I use and then apply it with a pole system. The second is the spray bottle comes with a sprayer that can be adjusted from a wide pattern to a very narrow pattern that goes far. So I often turn the sprayer to that position and it reaches the top of my coach easily.
I'm commenting simply for your amazing salesman skills. That's not sarcastic! I'm truly impressed with your presentation.
My RV is too old for this product but if it weren't I'd be a big buyer!
Subscribing to your channel.
Wow, thanks! Your positive feedback is much appreciated. Thanks for watching, subbing and commenting!
This looks like a pretty awesome system. I happen to be in a very dusty off-grid area right now. A steady flow of diesel dump trucks keep going by. You think this product is ideal even with a significant layer of dust on the outside?
It has worked well for me regardless of how much dirt is on the rig James.
Just found you. Just subscribed.
THANK YOU FOR THIS! Heading to part 2.
That's great Mary. Thanks for watching!
Cleaning the exterior of our 32 foot motorhome has required the use of long hoses, multiple poles and special mopheads, a ladder, an electric orbital polisher and two days. I recently ordered the Wash/Wax All system and in about two hours it looked better than ever! The extension pole alone is amazing; I am 5'2" and could never reach the top of the MH to clean it without getting on the roof...not a safe process at all. Now I don't need to leave the ground. This system will make it easier to maintain the MH more frequently and on long trips.
The only downside is finding a use for all of the cleaning equipment I'll never need again!
One question: Is there a way to give the small spray bottle a stronger stream so it can reach the highest points on the MH?
I'm glad it's working so well for you Jane. I love the Aero Cosmetics pole and mops too. They make the whole system so much easier. Thanks for sharing your experience with us. I think the bottle has a twist end that allows you to choose between a wide and a narrow spray pattern. At least mine does. I have no problem reaching the top of my coach with that narrow spray setting.

How is it when you use this on a dirty surface? Your coach is spotless when you started?
I have regularly used the products mentioned in this video for 4 years now. And my coach has been in various stages of dirtiness when I cleaned it. The point of this video's demonstration was not to show whether it cleans when the coach is dirty or not. It was to show how easy it is to use the system. I know that there are many who just can't adjust their thinking to accept that a waterless wash and wax product like this can be used safely on a regular basis. If you are one of those, there is probably not anything I can say or do to convince you otherwise. If not, just try the product for yourself and see what you think.
In the video you apply the product to the RV and the pole head. Don't you need a ladder to apply the product up high or do you not need to apply the product directly to the RV? Thank you.
Good question Michael. When you first start out it's a good idea to apply the product on both the mop and the RV to get the mop head thoroughly primed with product. But as I go along after the mop head has plenty of product on it I often just apply it to either the mop head or the RV instead. Also, the bottle they send with the product has two spray patterns. One is a wide pattern that is good for applying the spray to the mop. And the other is a narrow pattern that lets you apply it well to higher places on the RV. So no ladder is needed when applying the product. I will be making a newer video that updates this one very shortly and demonstrate what I'm talking about here. Just keep an eye out for it.
Would you also use the Wash Wax product to clean slide out seals?
If not, what product would you recommend for slide out seal maintenance?
Wash Wax All actually works pretty well for temporary protection of rubber seals on an RV. But I would recommend a different product for the slide seals to make sure that you keep them as supple as possible over the long haul. You can read about it in my blog post here - rvinspectionandcare.com/rv-slide-out/ I hope that helps.
Are roof conditioners needed? Wish you would make a list of yearly task for proper care? We love your channel
Rubber roofs mainly benefit from being kept clean Pam. But if it is an EPDM rubber roof, there are some coatings that can be applied every so often to extend the life of the roof. Just search Amazon for "EPDM rubber roof coating". Also, thanks for the suggestion about the yearly maintenance schedule. I'll see what I can do. Thanks so much for watching!
RV Inspection And Care thank you. We have a Newmar Ventana 2017. Embarrassed to say we don’t know which roof we have.
We were having the coached washed next week (we are 73). They suggested the conditioner and we had never heard of the product.
@@dpfreeman1 From what I read Pam, it is most likely a TPO roof which is another type of rubber. roof But it is possible that it is a molded fiberglass roof as it was offered as an option for that year. Sometimes the conditioners that are sold as upsells by detailers are good and sometimes they are a waste of money in my experience. But just keeping the roof clean will be a good thing to do no matter what roof you have.
Would you recommend this on an older 96 four winds class c motorhome that has different siding ?
Older RVs often require some compounding or polishing to get the exterior in the best shape possible first. But once that's done, this system will help keep it there with regular use. I hope that helps.
@@RVInspectionAndCare thanks this may pertain to another video I watched. Would you recommend the Henrys 887 silicone roof coating for a 96 four winds class c ? I want to do some mainteance on it. I had the roof sealant done professionally 2 yrs ago but RV has sat in storage. I had a broke leg and unable to maintain it. I have alot invested in my RV I want to keep it nice. I Think it may be tpc roof type. The RV is kept out in the open parked lot at RV storage place in Indiana.
Would you use it for the windows too?
Definitely! It works very well on almost any surface you can imagine on RVs.
This guy is a great public speaker
Wow! Thanks for the kind words Ted. Thanks for watching!
My Tiffin recommends the goclean/mary moppins pure wool head. Will this spray stuff work with that? Tiffin recommends no microfiber/synthetic product.
The products in this video are all made by one company and they are made to work properly together. If you are hesitant to use the system because it is not specifically recommended by Tiffin, then you probably shouldn't. The online reviews for the products are overwhelmingly positive and include many happy RV owners. But the choice of whether to use the system or not is up to you.
Thanks for your video,
If you don't clean the dust with water first, just rub it like this, won't you scratch the paint？
I’m just worried about this.
I understand your caution about that Koko. But as I said in the video, the process works just fine as long as you 1) use the right wash and wax product, and 2) use high quality microfiber towels or mops. I recommend that you look up the wash product that I listed in the video comments on Amazon and read through the thousands of reviews, many of them from RVers. As you will see, the product actually does what it says it does and if you do it properly, won't scratch your paint. If it seems too difficult to accept that this system works without causing damage, you can always just use soap and water. But it will take you a lot longer and require more effort to get the same results. Thanks for watching and asking this question though!
@@RVInspectionAndCare thank you. I like your video so much!!!
Could you do a video on how to install the car seat on motorhome?
I'll see what I can do Koko. Thanks for making the suggestion!
Good one. Thanks !
Glad you enjoyed it Phil. Safe and happy RV travels to you!
Liked and subscribed Duane.Question for you.I really like what you did here but how would you go about cleaning the front of a fifth wheel that is covered in bugs?Thank you sir,Richard
That's a great question SCM. If there are lots of bugs on the front end they need to be handled first before doing the waterless or rinseless wash and wax of the RV. There are good bug removers available on Amazon that can help make that chore much easier. Once the bugs are removed you can wash and wax as normal. And the more often you use WWA on the RV front, the easier it is to remove the bugs too.
RV Inspection And Care thank you
In your demonstration, your RV was perfectly clean. Are you saying this product will clean mud and bugs off of my RV at the same time applying wax vehicle? Wouldn't the wax seal in any dirt or bugs not clean? I am reluctant to wax my vehicle if the bugs and dirt are not completely cleaned off first.
Hi John. WWA works by lifting the dirt and grime off the surface which means that the light wax that is left behind does not seal anything to the clean surface. If you have bugs on the front of your rig, I recommend getting them off first. Aero Cosmetics sells a nifty bug sponge that helps get them off fairly easily. But there are other products for bug removal that are pretty good too. Once you start using WWA and it starts laying down the wax protection with each usage, it gets easier and easier to clean your rig. Eventually, it takes no time at all.
Thanks for this video great tip
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
Shouldn’t you wash with regular soap and water to get there dirt and grime off then apply the stuff
I know that it is hard for some folks to give up the old bucket, ladder and wash mitt ... :-). But if you use the right high quality microfiber mop heads along with the right waterless wash you don't have to worry about scratching your coach. And this system allows you to wash and wax your coach often through the year so there should not be any massive accumulation of dirt and crud present on the exterior. My coach looks like it's 15 years newer than it is and I get compliments on it all the time.
@@RVInspectionAndCare thank you for responding. I’m gonna have to get that mop head and that spray.
How do you spray it on up high without a ladder?
The nozzle on the WWA bottle has two settings, one for a wide spray and one for direct spray. I use the direct spray setting and it usually reaches close to the top of my motorhome. If it's still short, just spray enough directly on the wet side mop head to apply it on the top of the RV and use the dry mop side to wipe the excess off. I hope that helps.
During your washing, do you need to rinse the wet side any time during your cleaning session? I would imagine that after completing about 15 ft of this, the wet side maybe pretty dirty?
You could do that Khan, especially if the RV was very dirty. You also could just switch out the microfiber mop on that side with a new one, or if you are using a microfiber towel, just switch to a new one of those. I can wash and wax my 40 foot MH using just two four mop heads using the pole system.
What is the name of the pole you are use if?
Hi Glenn. That pole was sold by Aero Cosmetics and as far as I can tell they no longer sell that particular pole. But here is a link to the poles that they offer now - washwax.com/collections/poles
Do you still use this product on your rv?
Absolutely. I wouldn't be without it!
How to wash clean RV.
Actually, the same process can be used on very dirty RVs BCL. I do it all the time!
I agree, I am quite skeptical when I see the product demonstrated on an immaculate, shining 4'x4' section of rv. Why not a before and after of a whole dirty coach? My paint and protection are in v good shape but I have water spots and run lines all around it. How would I know what this does?
I just started to wash my 1996 Rexhall Aerbus, 32' . . . and stopped. I threw away my leaking spray nozzle and wash brush. I've simply neglected the outside of my RV too long. There's no substitute for regular cleaning, regular maintenance.
LOL! So true about regular maintenance. It prevents getting to the point where washing doesn't help anymore. :-)
@@RVInspectionAndCare There are additional problems with owning/maintaining a motorhome . . . storage. I just received an email notice that the cost to park/store our motor home will increase to $163.99 per month ($1967.88 per year) beginning April 1st. It's not an April Fool joke. Thinking people will weigh all the costs of owning an RV before they make the decision.
I’ve watched 2 of the 3 videos on RV care and cleaning. I have a question. Have you used 303 or F11 products? If so, what is your opinion?
BTW, just had a set of tires replaced on my Allegro and had the flowthru valve stem covers added. What a great idea. Checking air PSI is now a breeze. Thanks for the tip!!
Hi D.C. I am a huge fan of 303 Aerospace Protectant and use it on anything I can that has rubber or plastic. It's one of the best UV inhibiting products out there. I have not used F11 but I have heard good things about it. As this video says, I prefer to use WWA along with the Aero Cosmetics pole mop system for most of my RV cleaning and waxing. I also use a rinseless product called ONR (Optimum No Rinse) when the coach is really dirty instead of WWA. Both products apply a layer of wax protection as you clean. But twice a year I use a synthetic wax from Meguiars called Fast Finish that applies a long-lasting layer of protection. Again, I apply it with the pole mop system. All of this is very simple and easy to do and I find that I don't need anything else to keep my coach looking great all the time.
Thanks 🙏 I’ve subscribed. You seem like a lovely 😊 guy
Thanks for the sub B B. And for the nice compliment as well!
Can this be used on the roof of a RV?
Hi Mark. It can be used that way. But if you are cleaning your RV roof, you should use a more aggressive cleaning process like the one I demonstrated in this video - th-cam.com/video/zBiyfGLQNig/w-d-xo.html Also, this product puts down a slick layer of wax and that's not what you really want to do on an RV roof for obvious reasons. Thanks for watching!
Will this product last 2-months ?
Yes, that's about as long as I would trust the wax in it to last. Most RV and car waxes only last about about a couple of months. That's why I use the synthetic wax in Meguiar's Fast Finish to extend the life of the wax protection out to six months or more. So if you apply the Fast Finish and then use WWA in between every 1 - 2 months, your RV will always look great and be protected.
Where is part 3?
Hi Suzanne. Here it is - th-cam.com/video/2YhUBc8pWaQ/w-d-xo.html Thanks for watching!
I was originally looking into a Wax based product so I can somewhat preserve and keep my paint on my darker vehicle looking new. Came across this product and you seem knowledge in it so I just want to know, is this product itself okay as a Wax finish? I know you mentioned in the video that in another video you'll show us a product which can keep it good for a year. But in terms of this product you're showing, is it enough of a Wax to achieve what I want, and how often should I do it to maintain a protective coating for the paint?
Not sure if matters, but this is for a Pick up Truck, not an RV.
Good question. The wax components of Wash Wax All work very well. But like most waxes, in my experience it only lasts a short time. It's not very durable. But if you use the product often enough, you still get good wax protection. The good news is since you are using WWA to wash the vehicle, you also apply wax each time you wash it. So if you wash it often enough with WWA, you always have a layer of wax protection. But I highly recommend applying a synthetic wax like the product in my other video to make the protection last much longer. You can watch that video at this link: th-cam.com/video/2YhUBc8pWaQ/w-d-xo.html . By the way, WWA works well on almost any surface of a car or RV. It's really great stuff.
@@RVInspectionAndCare Yeah ended up watching the video and picked up some. Deal at PepBoys (not sure if local) going for 9$ a bottle so I picked up a few Meguiar's.
Got my first vehicle last month. Garage is too small for a Truck so I'm parking it outside. Its a Dark Grey so I'm looking into waxing and paint protection. Discovered this Wet/Waterless wash/wax alternative, figured now is a better time than never to teach myself how paint protection works. And these seem very easy.
I've been told that generally speaking you'd want to get your vehicle wax'd at least twice a year. once every 3 months recommended. Considering these are not your traditional type of waxing/paint protection should I increase this to say,. once a month or so?
Thank you for all the details and great information
@@c313zk6 Paint protection is an interesting and confusing subject because there are so many products out there making all kinds of claims. But generally speaking, most waxes have some form of carnauba in them. It makes for a brilliant shine but doesn't last long. I wouldn't trust a simple wax to last more than about a couple of months especially if it is kept outside. The next step up in protection is synthetic waxes that can last much longer. The Meguiars product is in that category. Even though it says it will last up to a year I don't go more than about 6 months before reapplying it. At the top of the protection scale are the coatings. They last a very long time, even years in some cases but they are very expensive and many are finicky to apply. I am always looking at cost/reward ratios, so in my opinion the most cost effective paint protection is where you apply a good synthetic wax twice a year and use a good wash and wax product in between every week or so. I hope that helps. :-)
Yep, me too😎🇺🇸
That's great David. It really works well, huh?
WHY is it that fibreglass boats & Rvs start to show oxidation after only 2 years or less while Corvettes
which are also fibreglass holds their shine for years & years & years?
!
Sorry but I can't answer that question. But I can say that the products mentioned in this video work very well on painted fiberglass of any kind.

Hi Rich. You can the first video in this series here - th-cam.com/video/vTn_daSpxoc/w-d-xo.html
@@RVInspectionAndCare thanks so much 👍🏻😉
This seems more like a finishing product. If the RV is really dirty with mud, bird poop, dried bugs, etc., you would have to rinse it off after cleaning, then dry and apply this stuff. Also, you would need a ladder to be able to spray the stuff on unless you are ten feet tall, so how do you do it without ladders as you claim? Sorry, doesn't compute.
I have personally used these products for 4 years now and it has kept my 40 foot diesel pusher shining like a diamond. And it's one of only a few products I know of on Amazon that has thousands of reviews that rate it close to 5 stars. But I get the feeling that no matter how I explain it to you, you just aren't going to be ready to try it. So don't use it. There are plenty of other more expensive and more labor intensive ways to keep your RV washed and waxed. By the way, the spray bottle that comes with the product features two spray methods, a widely dispersed spray pattern and a long distance spray pattern that easily reaches to the top of my coach so I don't have to use a ladder. But you probably don't believe that either.
@@RVInspectionAndCareI'm sure the product works fine as you used it. I guess you should have shown how it easily sprays to the top of the wall and how it easily removes dried on bugs and mud with one pass so we can really see how, "That is as simple as it is."
Thank you Sir. Love your content!
So nice of you to say. I appreciate your positive feedback.
Even when this product encapsulates dirt you will induce fine scratches in your coach by pushing contaminants into the clear coat with the mop head. There is no replacing a foam prewash followed by a foam friction wash and finished with a high quality spray wax. Don’t scratch your coach, high a professional and preserve and protect your investment.
As I said in the video, there are some folks who just can't wrap their head around how this process could actually work. But there are lots of us who use it regularly and get great results. As long as you use the right waterless wash product and the right high quality microfiber towels or mops, the process is safe and effective. Of course, everybody has a different level of comfort for the way they like things done. And if you choose to pay lots of money to RV detailers to feel that you have gotten the best job possible, that's great for you and your rig. But it's not necessary for everyone else.
RV Inspection And Care it’s your money and your finish. It’s the same with vehicles, some folks view their vehicle as an investment and treat it accordingly, while some do not. To each his own.
@@osagetorch8045 And some people still think washing the floor with a toothbrush, or cutting a winter's supply of firewood by hand is better. To each his own.
Hey I have a detailing company and wanted to say thanks for your videos they really Helped me! Where can I buy just the brush that your using??? I only want to purchase the wash/wax brush. If you could let me know that would be a blessing. Thanks again!
Hey Bass. Glad you enjoyed the video. A lot of pro detailers are getting on the waterless bandwagon these days. I love using it on my rig and the mop head and pole is what really makes it sing. I think you can only get the mop and pole by itself from the Aero Cosmetics website. This is the link for it - washwax.com/collections/cleaning-tools/products/waterless-wash-wax-mop If you are going to use it for a commercial application you may want to upgrade the pole. You can find a commercial version of the pole on their site pretty easily. I hope that helps
Too good for be true
Then don't try it.
This may work for cheap RVs but will be a disaster for paint work that is over $100,000.00! The paint on a RV is just like a car. Yes, a motorcoach has acres of surface area and would be a real pain to wash and wax properly. But as everything else in life, there are no short cuts. I would not use this on a $300,000.00 Ferrari and if I owned a motorcoach that costs close to 7 figures, I wouldn't do it.
LOL! I was wondering how long it would take before I got a comment like this about this video. Actually, I'm surprised that it took as long as it did! There are lots of strong opinions about this subject out there. As I said in the video there are lots of folks who just can't wrap their head around this concept of waterless or rinseless washing. They are absolutely convinced that you will be doing serious harm to the paint on your RV if you use the method I describe in the video. But it simply is not true. Almost none of these folks have actually ever tried waterless washing. They just can't imagine that it works and therefore advise everyone else not to do it. Almost everyone who actually tries it is immediately impressed with the results. And many switch to this kind of exterior RV care after using it with good results. Also, these products are especially attractive considering how many RV parks and campgrounds do not allow washing your RV by the "normal" methods. I just checked Amazon and WWA has been reviewed almost 5000 times and it has a 4.5 star rating. If it was destroying clear coats like so many want you to believe that would not be the case. But if waterless washing is just too far out of the norm for you, why not consider rinseless washing? At least you are using some water in this process. Not much, but some. I made a video about it here - th-cam.com/video/Th-m2T5HJhI/w-d-xo.html Having said all of this, if you choose to wash and wax your RV using the old soap, buckets, ladders and hose method that is just fine. It's tried and true. But it's also time and labor intensive if you do it yourself and expensive if you pay someone else to do it the right way. With the products that are available today for auto and RV exterior care, none of that is necessary any more.
@ Ha! Ha! I have to chuckle a little bit because you are proving the point of my video. You are one of those folks that most likely will never be able to get it when it comes to this kind of process. I don't have any problem with that. Whatever method you use for keeping your coach clean and waxed is up to you. The disagreement I have is with your statements about the kind of clear coat harm that can be done by using either waterless or rinseless washing. Actually many professional detailers of all kinds are using these methods these days. Not all of them, but many. When it comes to ways of caring for exterior paint on autos, there are so many conflicting ideas and methods with strong opinions on all sides. So I wouldn't expect that all detailers will switch to any one one method. As far as scratches are concerned, the reality is that all kinds of things can scratch clear coats on auto and RV paint, including using the old soap and water method. Scratches are inevitable on anything that spends almost all of its time outdoors and going down the highway. But some people take the avoidance of scratches to an extreme. And if that's what they want to do, that's fine. But waterless and rinseless washing and waxing does not impart more scratches than using any other kind of exterior care method if it is done correctly with the right products. My coach is a 40 foot DP with full paint and I use these products on it almost every other month because it only takes about an hour of my time to do so. And I am constantly getting complete strangers telling me how great the paint looks. If you read the reviews on Amazon you will see that my experience is not unique. However I appreciate your opinions on the subject and respect them. They are most likely the best choice for your particular needs.
@ Thanks for your opinion on the subject. I appreciate that you expressed it clearly. Unfortunately, we are going to have to agree to disagree about this. If you haven't tried it and done it properly as directed, you just don't have all of the facts. Happy and safe travels my friend!
I find it interesting that you fail to acknowledge the possibility of pre-rinsing/air-drying the RV as an option before using this product. And if you really think that the soap-and-water method does not cause micro-scratches with dirty water (using your same argument), I have some real estate on the moon to sell to you. I'm betting you are just a negative person and resistant to changing. Do you still use a rotary phone?
Your hyperbolic statement: [it] "will be a disaster for paint work that is over $100,000.00!" with absolutely no supporting evidence is certainly based on ignorance. Why don't you come clean (pun intended)? It could be good for your self-esteem.
@ Again, you are shooting from the hip and using a cap gun. Perhaps if you reflect on your post a bit, you may have a chance of noticing that you did not respond to his suggestion of rinsing the RV prior to using this product. So that makes two points in the thread that you completely ignore. Your only point seems to be: Simplicity is always inferior ---- and with f**k-all to back it up. Pretty pathetic.
