    I use Meguires Wash and Wax on my Tab 320S, and on our cars. It’s simple, one step, with great results. Congratulations on your Dutchman!

    Any good quality Marine/RV wax will work nicely.

    CRETBO...Have you thought about Ceramic coating?

    Ceramic protectants provide a much higher durability than wax. They resist heat, UV rays, environmental contaminants & harsh detergents much better than wax. Plus, wax simply sits on the paint's surface, it does not create the chemical bond like we find with ceramic coatings.

    @CRETBO, as with everything, you can search on ceramic coating here on the forum for some discussions, and the web. Owning an RV is probably more fun if you luv product research.

    Ceramic coatings..I put it on my car. it's been almost 2 years and the water just runs off like it's been heavily waxed. I bought it through Amazon Prime.

    And a 1 gallon Ceramic coatings kit for an RV will cost you around $150
    I will stay with my $25 Marine Silicone wax/polish.  :D

    Here is a link to an earlier discussion about ceramic coatings. It might be worth reading some of the comments before you take the plunge.

    Generally any high quality automotive wax will suffice. Many folks swear by AstroShield...there are sooooo many choices.

    Thanks for all the good input ... For this time, i'm going to use a car wash/wax and do some more research.  Thanks again for all the information.  Perfect

    The Tab is a Fiberglas laminate, and Marine wax is formulated for fiberglass surfaces, and offers longer lasting protection than auto wax.
