More on Decals

The RV Handbook, 4th Edition has the following quote:

"Although fiberglass manufacturers do recommend wazing the surface in their care and maintenance guides, it is critical to NOT wax over vinyl decals. Sharpline Converting, Inc., a leader in RV graphics and decals, states that today’s decals are designed with an ultraviolet-resistant coating, and waxing prevents the natural breathing and will enhance cracking, peeling and fading.

With today’s technology, waxing does very little for the longevity of fiberglass other than provide a protective coating for surface scratching and a shine.

Some owners wax the front fascia, making it easier to remove pesky bugs. Several aftermarket products are available that will help enhance the shine and add UV protection, such as Protect All’s Fiberglass and Oxidation Remover & Color Restorer, or 303 Protectant, both available at Camping World."

I just had my '08 3075 washed and hand waxed. However, I did not watch them work so I don't know if the decals got waxed or not. But, since they are already peeling....

Interesting information.
