I like their Wash/Wax product. Rinse with DI water, makes the wax job last longer.

I used RV Gel Gloss from Camping World for 7 years on my Country Coach. It is cleaner and carumbna wax. It worked great for me. People could not believe my coach was an 02 as the paint still looked brand new. Of course Country Coach gives you an excellent paint job and clearcoat to start with. I have recently sold my CC and have new Allegro Bus on order. Have been to the factory twice and my 02 paint job stilled looked better than the new Bus's.

However I think I am going to try ReejeX on new coach. Looks great from wax jobs I've seen and lots less work. I have seen many paint jobs ruined from the use of orbital buffers with swirl marks throughout the paint. Think about it. When I wax by hand, I apply wax over about 8 sq ft and then rinse my applicator out before before applying more wax. Therefore no dirt or grime is spread over the paint. With the oribtal buffers, I've seen so called professionals apply wax to entire coach with one buffing pad and take entire wax off with another buffing pad. I would never let anyone touch my motorhome, car, motorcycle, or airplane with a buffing machine. I'm sure it could be used effectively with much care and changing pad often, but I'm not going there. Only takes 2 days a year to wax rig twice and do it right.

Doug
Why would you use Gell Gloss on your Country Coach? You have full body paint so Gell Gloss isn't appropriate for use on it - you should be using a good automotive wax or polish for a painted finish.

We use gel-gloss on entire MH twice a year, looks great. Also use it about once a month on the fiberglass shower. The shower looks as good as it did brand new and we are full timers.

OK, I think we are all getting confused as there are multiple Gel-Gloss products.

If you have this ...



Do NOT use it on paint - it's abrasive and will remove your paintwork over time.

If you have this ...



Then it IS suitable for paint.

Just wanted to avoid confusion
