High Gloss Exterior

Maybe 4-5K is more like it. Jay-co offers it it's a 4,200.00 adder, Cedar Creek offers it and will even do a paint match as Montana Sky pointed out it's a 5,000.00 adder, Cardinal offers it as well. If others can do so can Keystone Montana Line, KZ offers it as well on Montego bay and Escalde line, those Esclades are nice, too much for my blood though.

Hi Gloss is the way to go for me. Mine looks really nice. Question - what is the best product to use to clean your 5W of bugs and road dirt & grime? What wax or product should I use to protect the finish.

One thing not to use is a "scrunge"(spoonge with nylon pad). I used it on some stubborn spots and now I have dull spots in the finish.

DonnAnnie, I have used a product called Awesome. I saw it recommended here and bought some at the dollar store for, you guessed it, a dollar. Makes short work of bugs and black streaks. I use Thetford RV wash and Thetford RV wax. Both are good products.

Don and Annie,
Another trick that I use to clean the nose from all the bugs is Bounce fabric sheets. Wet the nose and the fabric sheet and WIPE away those bugs. It works great and requires very little elbow grease.

I now have 3 bottles of Awesome and it works great on keeping the caulk around the moldings and trim nice and white. There is only one problem with Awesome, it is a degreaser. Takes the wax right off your coach.

I used to use Thetfords Wash n Wax. I tried Gel Gloss Wash n Wax from Camping World and love it. Leaves a great shine on the coach, and actually has Carnauba wax right in it.

I use Bounce sheets like Montana Sky. It works great. I also use 303, from Camping World, to put a glossy sheen over it all, after rinsing the Bounce off. Works great! Also, Bounce sheets, when rubbed on dry skin, also keep skeeters off of us very well.

The only thing to remember when using the more potent products to remove grit, grime, bugs, etc, is that some will also remove the wax...assuming the rig has wax on it. Simple Green is great stuff, but when used at full strength it advertises itself as a 'wax remover.'
