Howdy - For those of you that have fiberglass/gel coat sided RV's that are not full body paint, what do you use for keeping the graphics in good condition? The front cap appears to be painted but has some graphics on it too.
We have a new to us 2018 Crusader 5th wheel. it looks great now and I aim to keep it that way. She's quite a bit bigger than our previous travel trailer, length and height. Just the thing to cause heat stroke right now just washing it.

Best I could do. How do we get a new smilie added? Something like a black truck with a 5th wheel RV? Or a MH for those of you with them?

When I was younger, I worked for a Datsun dealership and the owner would have us wash his RV from time to time.

I think the answer is pretty obvious, buy a dealership.

I just detailed mine. Buffed with Star Brite Cleaner Wax and then with Starbrite Marine polish. Skip the cleaner wax if there’s no oxidation.

Since i had everything pristine, i went over all surfaces with isopropyl alcohol and applied a ceramic coating. Looks better than new!

Thanks for the info. Can’t afford to buy a dealership so I will give the Starbrite a shot.

I would contact a boat detailer. They deal with this a lot and might be able to give you a decent price which keeps you out of the heat
