I washed the top of my 2002 Endeavor yesterday. Need suggestions for wax, am looking for something that I can put on with a mop that I don't need to Buff out, I am 73 have a handicape that does not allow me to get on my knees for extended time. I have looked in the Phone Book for Detailing found One, but thought I would check here First, maybe something I can do my self. Thanks Roy

Roy, go to the Monacoers or Ramblin Pushers forums, ask the same question and you will get one answer, "Mop & Glow" floor wax. Goes on with a mop, no nbuffing required, protects the roof, stops the streaking on the side of the coach and last a year. For fiberglass and aluminum roofs, there is nothing better.

I second the ProtectAll. Great stuff.

Are you thinking of waxing the roof? Am I reading this correctly? I would not wax the roof, you really do not want to make it slippy. The potential for an accident is greatly increased. Just wash it down with water, how often do you look at it anyway?

I have used ZipWax by Turtle Wax to wash and wax my cars and on the roof of the MH. Since I have non-slip walkways molded into my roof fiberglass, the slippery does not become an issue.

Using a REAL "wax" product on the roof....is a good way to end up on the GROUND....when you dont expect to!

I've heard that stuff doesn't block the sun's UV rays though.

I use Protectall, but t require buffing. Others have reported good results with 303 spray, and no buffing.

ProtectAll contains petroleum products and I will not put the stuff on my coach for any reason. 303 is a good product, but not ProtectAll.

I have used just about everything. By far the best is Future acrylic floor care. Acrylic is a great UV protector. I mop on two coats. It lasts for months. Use soft soled shoes. You will be amazed at the results.
