Camper wax

So we just purchased a camper trailer and it needs some detailing love. Can you use the same detailing products in it as you would your truck? It is in desperate need did a wash and wax

 

I think it would be okay to use the same wash and wax as a car. Is your camper painted, aluminum, gel coat fiberglass? I would bet that the material makes a difference.
The one thing is the sheer square footage, some car detailing products would get pretty damn expensive. Which is probably one reason why they make RV detailing products.
I would use a foam cannon and a microfiber brush on a pole type thing to wash and use hydro2 spray sealant because it's so easy to use and would be very quick and simple to cover all that space.

 

It is high gloss fiberglass sidewalls on it. I'll have to snag one of those microfiber brushes, would make it easier for sure. I don't get my hrdro2 until next week, so maybe a wash in the meantime will have to do

 

I just saw on autogeek Meg's and McKees makes RV/ marine wax for fiberglass and resin, I might run to Walmart and try the Meg's first since it's easily available

 

Sounds like a good plan. I wonder if there is an actual difference between car products vs RV stuff.

 

Most RV stuff is designed for high gloss gel coated fiberglass, most car stuff formulated for clear coated painted metals.
So it -should- have different formulations, but certainly some won't. I've used car stuff on RV's with no obvious issues.
Also - RV people tend to leave roof vents cracked open & most RV's are mostly white. Cars come in dark colors & are often closed tight, so metal car surfaces - I've burned my hand on them in the summer, never been an issue with a fiberglass RV body.

 

Washed the whole thing, iron x, clayed the back and hand waxed with Meg's boat and RV cleaner wax. Didn't turn out bad, not a huge fan of the wax though. Very grabby and hard to wipe off. Might try McKees next time. Last pic is completed
