    The are great product suggestions! We definitely have to try these on the bus!

      I think you’ll have much better results on full body paint.

    Look up the application of glossy floor wax. You'll be glad you did. I know a couple of people that have done it and it turns out amazing.

      When I worked at the Fire Dept, I knew a guy who would spray the canned furniture polish on the vehicles to “wax” it. Looked good, but didn’t last.
      Floor wax must hold up a little better I’m sure.

      Never used it myself, but I've read negative posts about floor wax.

    That looks like a lot of work. I know, I’ve done that a few times. When you get done with the buffing you need to wax it. Great info.

      It’s crazy tedious, but the results are worth it. I’ve been working about 2 hours at a time, for 3 days and I’m about 1/3 done. Haha. It’s going to take a while.
      The wax really finished it off nicely.

    It is important to wash bottom to top and rinse top to bottom, this prevents streaks.

    Don't invite the professionals. You can easily get into 1000.00 buffers and very expensive pastes as you said. They are time and efficiency motivated. Your result looks pretty darn good.

      Thanks @WilliamBranham, I was pretty happy with the way it turned out.

    Is it safe to use Meguier's Gold Car wash soap on rubber roofs? Or should I use Dawn dish soap?
    Your 5th wheel looks great.

    Carnauba wax always swirls, less is best, but takes lots of buffing to prevent swirls.

      @@ProjectTrek that's crazy how quick oxidation sets in. I wonder if a good wax will keep the shine lasting longer once you do all the work you just did? I just can't see why someone would want to do that every 6 months. Seems ridiculous.

    • @ProjectTrek
      @ProjectTrek  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You’re correct, I don’t think the oxidation will show after six, I just think the wax job will wear off to the point it will need redone.
