      Complicated now though. It seems likely that by the time the border opens the registration for Quartzsite will be full... I remember it filled quickly last year before we could plan for it. However imagining you waxing my trailer just might be enough to warm me through the winter months.
      I know this is off topic from the original post. But there will not be a formal "rally" next Winter due to the virus. We're just having a camp out in the desert. There will be no activities such as potlucks and seminars. So there is no registration. Just drive out at the last minute if you get a chance. We'll all practice social distancing if still warranted in February. So we'll need to stay six feet apart when waxing your rig....

        Has anyone used Meguiar's Hybrid CERAMIC wax? I was told by tech at General RV this is the latest "good: stuff!

          Will be trying out Klasse AIO on the trailer this year. Not having any petroleum products in it, it is completely decal safe. It comes highly recommended by a lot of RV'ers.

          But posting up you favourite wax here is like posting in a 'favourite oil' thread on a truck forum...lol

              I have always done my own waxing with Thetford RV wax. I do it three times a year. My decals have always been pristine. But I got lazy a few months ago while at the Southern California rally. There was a company there offering a pretty good deal on a wash and wax. I don't know what they used, but several of my decals are showing severe deterioration.

                I think I recall seeing something about not using carnauba wax on decals.

                  Hi Folks. I have a Reflections 337 RLS and am getting ready to give a good wax job before putting it away for the winter. I've tried Meguiar's Boat/RV polish and find that it is leaving white film streaks on both the rv body and decals. Can anyone suggest a better product? Thanks

                        I take the easy route and use Meguiars Ultimate Wash & Wax with a soft brush and extendable pole.

                          Second that! That is what I use and get great results! Plus the ultimate critic likes it, the DW! Granted, it probably doesn't give that 'true' wax protection but it is way, way less work and I figure if we wash it after each trip it is adding some good protection. You have to wash before waxing so I look at it as working smarter and not harder.

                            Bug Slide. Has anyone used Bug Slide or similar product (like F-11) on your RV. I haves used both on my Harley Davidson and they work great. I remember the Bug Slide rep saying the designed it for aircraft and then used it on RVs before marketing motorcycles. I am not against washing or waxing, but am always trying find best product and save time &/or money where ever possible.

                              This has been the wash/wax product I have used since I bought my 303 in 2018. Easy to use I apply with the pivoting microfiber head attachment to a telescoping pole and don’t even need a ladder. The UV treatment lasts 6 months and can be used waterless which is great when I am out during summer months. Most campgrounds wont allow me to wash RV at stie. But when on my site in winter I get it cleaned with Dawn and water then apply when dry.

                                I also use it on the truck.
