20 Best Rv Cleaner And Wax (Jan 2023 Update)

Mothers has always been one of my favorite waxes. I use this as the first coat since it does have a mild cleaner and then add a second coat of a 100 percent carnauba. If you aren't into waxing as much as I am, then this is the perfect lazy man's one coat wax since if both cleans and protects. It is carnauba and not synthetic, which means it gives a richer shine. If you want a more wet look and brighter shine, use their synthetic. Both are excellent.MrUniverse

First, is like a candle in the can. Very hard. Bigger problem is removing it My orbital buffer was not up to it so have spen most of the day buffing off the wax polish by hand. This product is not PURE Carnuba. My bad for trusting Mothers and not reading the ingredients. This product is terrible.Pete

Graphine and Ceramic waxes are the latest craze. They work great on older cars. Mother's California Gold Carnauba wax works the best on new vehicle paint, especially black.George

Vehicle is washed and waxed once a month. Using the Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Wet Wax showed no results in appearance nor protection compared to the Wax & Dry Spray Wax. I personally went back to the basics, which is less than half the price, and does the same job. And I can use it more excessive without braking the bank.Josephine

We have a new Escape. From first wash we reversed our process and now use TW wet wax. From the sunroof down we foam wash, rinse, TWWW then dry. We do a light buff all with microfiber. Beautiful results!RJ68

well for the life of me i just don't understand why your vehicle must be wet . except for maybe to make the product go further. directions doesn't say anything about sun or shade and nothing about getting it on glass or plastic trim ????? My first experience was this product may leave a great shine, BUT it streaks something terrible and i hate having to go back the next day or two to try and get rid of the streaks/smears !!! I chose Turtle Wax brand over all the many other brands because I have never heard of most of the other brands and Turtle Wax has been around for about 100 yrs. and how can this rep be beaten. Besides I have always chosen Turtle Wax before and loved the Turtle Wax "Platinum" and "Gold" liquid polish !!!!! Sure wish that you never abandoned them !!!A L Ruby

I have used one-step products before to try and cut down the pre-launch work, but have been disappointed. The hull on my boat was really getting oxidized, so I thought I'd try this product which was touting itself as for heavily oxidized hulls. I followed the instructions and used a lambs wool buffer pad to apply the product, and removed it with a microfiber cloth by hand before it hazed over. The results were tremendous. I couldn't believe how well it brought back the finish. The accent stripes on the hull were particularly getting dull. Now, they look almost brand new. A couple of particularly bad areas needed a second application, but I cannot say enough good things about how well this stuff worked for me, and how easy it was to apply. Five stars for sure, along with two thumbs up.Hukilau Mike

I'm not sure who 3m is trying to kid . . . I've seen their product prices skyrocket over the last 5 years without any particular suggestion that the economy or supply lines are driving these huge price increases. The container that they put this product in has a very short shelf life, regardless of how you store it, regardless of the temperature you store it at. You can expect to lose this product through cracks and actual breakage within an unreasonably short period of time. The product works well in certain situations and is a one-step solution for some jobs. But the price is ridiculous and the threat of losing the product as a result of crackage in the container is untenable. Often a #1 compound followed by a wax of your choice will give you better results, and the containers that these latter products come in will last a long time.Emily

So, let me start by saying I've never used an orbital polisher, or polishing compound. There was a learning curve. Like 1/2 a boat learning curve. The first 1/4 of a 24' boat took 4 hours, the other 3/4 (and going back over the first 1/4) took about 4 hours. But WOW what a difference in the before and after. Removed the white chalky oxidation and water spots from years of neglect on this boat. Let me share my revelations and experience: 1. I used a variable speed 10A polisher I got for about $40. It had all the power I needed. This could never have been done by hand, or with a random orbital polisher. I ran at 1000 RPM until I got the hang of it, then realized 1500 was way better at reducing the grit size and seeing better results. 2. I wish I had shaken the bottle better before I started. I felt like I wasted some time in the beginning with product that was slightly separated. 3. I used foam pads on the polisher. I went through about 3 pads during polishing the 24' boat. https://www.Home Essentials Direct.com/dp/B07JVDH437/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_MvyvDb3CXT6K7 4. I worked in small sections. Rather than doing vertical sections of boat, I found it better to do horizontal sections as they contain less contour. Any time your section is all on the same plane or curve, it makes your technique easier. 5. I worked in the shade, but it was August in Texas so it was hot as hell. I tried to be careful not to let the product dry in globs. If they dried, I needed to lightly mist with water to work them. I'm talking spray bottle here, not hose. 6. I actually found that it worked better to apply the polish to the boat in dots/dollops across the section, then work with the polisher. My results weren't as good when I applied polish directly to the foam pad. 7. I did a TON of research on technique and how to do this. In the beginning, I was using quite a bit of water, even tried moistening the foam pad at one point. What a mess! The product was much less effective, went slinging everywhere, and generally was impossible to work with. I ended up with what I though was dried product that just wouldn't come off, but later realized it was water spots that the diluted product could not work properly — remember when I said I went over the first 1/4 again once I knew what I was doing? I finally realized that a fine mist of water from a spray bottle across the dollops just before applying the polisher is perfect. 8. Keep the polisher moving in your section. The higher rotations made quick work of the polishing compound, spreading the grit around as it became smaller and smaller did the best work. When it was so small it was basically dust, I gave it a wipe with a microfiber cloth and there was the shine! 9. I had no problem with decals or stickers. One of my registration stickers pulled up a little bit, but the other was fine. All of my Hull Id Numbers were fine, no damage. I was careful in these areas though and didn't work them too hard. 10. I did wash the boat first, I guess I should have started with that bit of info. 11. I followed up with Meguiars Flagship Premium Marine Wax and the boat looks Amazing! Hopefully if I keep it waxed, it will continue to shine and won't get oxidized like that again. 12. A 24' bowrider didn't even use up a whole bottle. Maybe a half a bottle? I did some pretty good product wasting for that first 1/4 of the boat, so I'd guess 1/2 of the 16oz bottle would have been appropriate. 13. I didn't know what oxidation level my boat had, but now I'd describe it as light/medium. It's worth mentioning that I didn't do the underside of the hull. The oxidation is MUCH worse there, and probably needs wet sanding. It's also awkward as all get-out to reach, so I skipped it for now. I think the pics are pretty self explanatory. I tried to show my tools and progress. Hope my experience in bumbling through is helpful to someone else!!N.

Made fiberglass boat look like new. It held up thru the entire salt water boating season. Would highly recommend, and will only use this wax in the future. This is the best marine wax I have ever used. Update : After one year boat was still shining after one year. Absolutely the best marine wax I have ever used, well worth the price! Highly recommend!D.E.

Goes on easy, dries quickly. Buffs up pretty nicely. Needed a few coats to bring a kayak back to a good shine. Don’t know about longevity yet. May try it on my canoe this fall. Tried it on the shower wall to see if it will slow that mold buildup. Seems to be delaying that process so far.T.B.

Meguiars Flagship wax is the best wax I have found to keep my 5th wheel trailer looking good. It is easy to apply and buffs off to a high shine which lasts a long time. That is important since the trailer is large and frequent waxing is not easy.rsherri62

This cleaner and wax by Meguiars is truly a flagship premium product. It's easy on and easy off and gives a brilliant shine to the fiberglass on my boat. I like to keep things nice but don't want to work myself to death getting the end result. This wax performs beautifully. if it stands up to the elements for a reasonable time, I will continue to use it to keep our sailboat in top-notch condition.Long time sailor

After cleaning off the oxidation on our 20 year old bow rider I applied a generous coat of this wax. It went on and wiped off extremely easy. It gave the hull a rich shine! The boat has been on and off the lake 3 or 4 times. The water still beads up and a quick rinse is all that's needed when we get home. Great stuff.Fredo

Bought this to take the fade off my rv decals. It does the job. Didn't give it five stars though because after hitting it with a pressure washer where I used the stuff, it showed all the cracks again. The part that was not cracked still looked good though. If you are trying to hide decal cracks, save your time. Do the job right and replace the decals. If you want to remove oxidation, this is what you want. Only gave four stars because of how quick it came off with the pressure washer, but I don't imagine most people are gonna pressure wash their rv's right after they use this…L.t.t.

By far the best that I have used on my travel trailer. It has the fibreglass sidewalls, and this stuff did an awesome job of cleaning and restoring the shine. One bottle goes a lot further than you think it will. Very happy with this product!Deadwoodbill

After trying several cleaner/waxes, I've found that that this 3M product removes minor oxidation and polishes the gel coat the best. I have a 2011 Casita Freedom and it makes the sides shine like a mirror. In between I maintain her with 3M spray on fiberglass cleaner/wax. I did have to buff out major oxidation several years ago and this allows me to stay on top of it.. Don't expect this to remove heavy 'marshmallow' look!C.&.W.

I have used this for 16+ yrs. Still have my original interior in 16 yr. old boat. It's thicker than many of the other products and seems to nourish the vinyl back to a soft, pliable condition with excellent UV protection.West

I have a 15 year old spa and i badly needed a new product to help rejuvenate the cover on it. Bam!! It took the oxidation right out and left the cover clean . It left the cover nicely hydrated and brought back the shine. Better than 303 products. Hope it lasts long.Phil

I've used Meguiar's Marine/RV vinyl and rubber cleaner for probably almost 20 years. First purchase for use on my boats white interior. Always cleans and makes the white white. Began using on my vehicles as well or dashboards, consoles and rubber weather stripping. Does a great job. Fine product. Highly recommend.Daniel

I've tried a lot of "other" waxes and polished for my old 1990 Regal 265 Commodore – BUT this was the best one! I will not go back to the others. This is a great product. Try it for yourself. Easy to put on and take off. I used my hand to put the wax/polish on, then buffed it off with a 10 inch buffer. Removed those black streak lines from the railings, and many other spots from environmental causes. Great shine! Took the old fiberglass and made it look like new.Allen

Removes Oxidation from fiberglass on older boats left outside and leaves a really good waxed shine in one step. Cleans and protects newer boats. I own both! does not require a pro style angle buffer to apply or remove so you do not have to be concerned about fiberglass or surface burn as a result of leaving the buffer in one spot too long. I know because I've experienced both. Hand application and removal is sufficient for good results. sever oxidation may require a second application dependent upon the severity of the oxidation. The shine lasts a fairly long time. I usually follow up after a month with a Teflon polish to get a longer life out of the gloss. Apply in small sections overlapping the subsequent section for best results i have found eliminates missed areas. It's alittle pricey but I have found to be the best, most long lasting product I have used for over 20 years. I'd rather run the boat than clean and wax it. so twice a year I spend a weekend before and after the season and do both, my 22ft center console and my 36 Express. I like to fish! Wife likes to cruise. Both of us like a good looking boat. It's a great product.S.

I have used the 3M fiberglass restoration, cleaner, and polish for years . All terrific….just select the best one for gel coat condition. Purchase on Home Essentials Direct…about half the cost compared to W.M. !T.Z.

Have used this brand of wax on my boat for 29 years. It is easy to apply, cleans the surface, and lasts an entire season. I use it on painted survace even though it lists itself as being for fibergalss. It was recommended to me when I first purchased my boat and have used it ever since. Does not leve the surface as super slippery.Rob

I have been trying different products on my new camper to keep it looking new. this spray wax is the best i have come across. it is a little tough to remove but is so worth it, it leaves a very slick finish.c.

Used the product in a salt water conditions. Works good around the console area. Easy to apply and provides good protection.anonymous

I have a flats boat in Florida and the sun and high air temperatures can be brutal on the boat's hull. I received the 303 Quick Wax and applied it according to the directions given and was surprised to see that the wax removed minor "grunge" stains and after hand buffing left a film that beaded water. I also appreciated the generous amount of 303 provided in the spray bottle. There's enough here for several applications over the summer months. It's too soon to determine how long the wax stays on the hull, but first impressions are good!Captain Bob

Got this product about month ago. I own a 1992 GMC Conversion van that needed a wax job. I have been avoiding because of the amount of work required to do a good wax job. 303 Quick Wax was the answer to do a quantity job without the effort required. Went off and on with ease and produced a professional looking wax job on the old van. Great product if you need a wax job without the effort.Gary11

I use this on my boat for the first time this weekend. I lightly sprayed the hull be I put the boat in the water. I noticed that it helped remove some water that were already on the hull but what was more impressive was when I took the boat out of the water. The water beaded off the hull so I had very minimal wiping to do and there were no visible water spots left behind. I had also previously wiped down the wake board tower before I put it in storage. There is usually a lot of dust on the tower but not this time. I can only surmise that the dust didn't stick to the tower this time because I had wiped it down with the Quick Wax. Great, easy and fast way to protect your boat and equipment.Mark 1

As a longtime Meguiar’s customer, I would highly recommend using D16616 as a true “one step” solution. It saves lots of time and it does very well for paint correction. Also, it has a beautiful smell!G.S.

Used this on my wifes white Malibu. There were previous swirl marks and light scratches I was hoping to eliminate. I used a DA polisher for application. Over all I am pleased with the results. It did not eliminate as much of the swirl marks as I'd hoped, but the car is incredibly clean and shiny. This product wipes off very easy too. I'd buy it again.N.

For use when you have light oxidation, mild scratches and swirls. Can be used with all forms of polishing, I use a da polisher with the dfc6 pad. But I do have the microfibre pad also. Has a great smell, and is another meguiars product the less is bestandrewalla-r5c5u

Using this product on our 40 ft motorhome. It is taking the chalky finish away and leaving a nice shine. We are using the next 2 steps to protect the finish. The RV Polish and then the wax. Beautiful! Using a buffer with the oxidation remover. It makes our 2002 look almost new again.svamva

I have been using this to wash my boat for the last 2 years and will not use any other product. It does exactly what it says on the label. A pity it cannot now be bought in UK. I had to order from U.S. That’s how good it is!Jaideep M.

Here's how you know I think this is a good product: I bought some more. I live relatively near the water and feel (?) better when I use products on my vehicles that take "proximity to water" into account. This product is essentially the band aid level of treament: use it frequently to keep some level of protection on your vehicle (Meguiar recommends that you useMeguiar's M6132 Flagship Premium Cleaner/Wax – 32 oz. andMeguiar's M6332 Flagship Premium Marine Wax – 32 oz. for a more substantive, protective approach). I don't have the time or ability to put the wax on as frequently as I might like, so this approach (wash-n-wax) appears to be a good alternative. In the end, I have been a fan of Meguiar products for a long time. This product – like most, if not all, of what I've previously used from Meguiar – is first-rate. It does what it promises and does so at a very reasonable price point.X.F.

This stuff worked like a charm. I used it on my rv and it was so easy. One trick I can let you in on. I used an o-cedar spin mop to dry the rv off. The mop head acts like a sponge. One pass and it dried up the rv without leaving streaks. Just remember to spin the mop at least 10 times to get it really dry. The wax made my rv look like new again.j.a.

This is a fantastic product. Long story short . Years ago ,a friend of mine and myself had a detailing business. So, I know good product. In the short this is easy and works great. It's more than good enough for daily drivers. It's not so amazing,that you will get professional results. However, you will be surprised at what this does on plastic and trim as well. It's even removed some wicked tar contaminates I didn't think would come off with out more in depth intervention. Also try it in your door jams. I've used it in my 2012 Crv since day one and the rubber in my door jams still looks brand new. I just wipe the door jams out with the same towel I dry the product off with on the outside. It's impressive,for sure.Joe Spur

I've been using this product for over 10 years. And truthfully, I don't follow the directions. I wash my car and then pull it into the garage and completely dry it. Then I spray this wax on one section at a time and buff each section before going to the next. Results are amazing!! I just sold a 2002 Honda Accord and this wax was the only one I used and that car's clear coat was still crystal clear! I use it at least 3 times a year on my current 2013 Accord and the car is so lustrous! Will always use this product, it's amazing! May one day try it on a wet car, as directions state, and see what I think.lisa

I didn't really expect much from this, anything that sprayed on a wet car couldn't really do much eh! I tried it on the wife's BMW. A couple of MicroFibre clothes, spray, quick wipe, occasional wring out excess water and wow! Wouldn't wash the car any other way now. Quicker than chamois and amazing shine. Same with the 4WD. The 4wd was given a good Clay Bar & polish when I got it 2 1/2 years ago, and with an occasional Wax and Dry, it is still comes up with a great shine. Note that both these were on top of a paintwork in good condition.MCA

Wipe off was almost easier than wipe on! I let the wax dry for a few hours to ensure it properly baked to the surface and then wipe of was fairly easy with low dust using the included microfiber cloth. Touching the surface afterwards resulted in a deep polished feel. The best part was rain water literally didn’t adhere to the car – never had that experience with any other prior wax. I’ll be doing this repeatedly every 6 months.Dave

I neglected my 2000 Ford Ranger(white) for over 5 years of sitting outside in the Florida sun and rain. The truck was green with mold which had to be scrubbed off with a brush. There was no shine to the finish and water immediately wet the entire surface without a single bead. I purchased the Meguiar’s Ultimate Compound, Ultimate Polish and Ultimate Wax after watching a Youtube video on the differences between the Mequiar’s Ultimate Compound and the old school TW brand. The results are simply amazing. I followed the instructions to the letter, using a HF DA, doing 2 sq. feet at a time. The finish immediately improved with the Ultimate compound (3-4 overlapping passes). The surface was smooth and shiny but not veryglassy until I used the Ultimate polish (3-4 overlapping passes). You can actually feel the difference in the surface after apply the Ultimate polish and the color is richer and deeper. You need to immediately wipe the polish off, do not let it dry on the surface, it will be difficult to remove. Wetting it down with a water mist will help should you not remove it before it dries. The Ultimate wax is unique and does not really leave any “white haze” and you start to wonder if you applied any wax or not to that area, but the water bead is as good as any other wax. This lack of white haze is nice because it does not make your rubber trim white as with other traditional waxes. 20oz of Ultimate compound and polish covered my Ranger and Volvo. The wax came 16oz and I needed a few more oz’s to finish the 2nd car. Overall, the Mequiar’s three step system is a little higher in cost but worth every penny.B.

I bought this to wax a class B motorhome based on a 20 foot van. I had bad recollections of waxing our old 40 foot motorhome, which would take an eternity. I washed the van then got busy waxing. Instead of trying to pour the wax onto the vertical sides and watching it run off, I poured some on the supplied applicator pad and applied it to one panel at a time, or even a half panel for the large ones. Then I would apply to the next panel while the first dried. Then it was just a process of waxing one, letting one dry, and polishing off the already hazed one. Relatively quickly I was done. Now, a couple months later, the van still shines and seems to stay clean. After a recent trip the bugs simply wiped off without the usual scrubbing. Water still beads and rolls off well. I have a car with dealer-applied paint protectant that I bought about the same time as I waxed the van. The Mequiars seems to bead and repel water better than the expensive coating on the car. And it did not even take the full bottle to do the entire van including all glass. The best wax I have used in over a half century of driving. Not perfect, but still better than anything exceptmvery high-end polishes requiring major labor to apply.rick

Like the prior entrant, I recognize that Carnauba is perhaps the most premium wax available with some cleaning properties. Certainly, you need to prep the surface correctly by removing embedded dirt and marks with a compound or polish. However, if you apply this product correctly, you'll be rewarded with a high-gloss shine that compares well with those achieved with pricier products. To apply: (1) work in the shade, (2) do a small area at a time, (3) use a clean, soft, moist applicator, (4) polish on with overlapping circular motions, and (5) remove the dry residue with a clean cotton or micro fiber towel and buff. This is a quality, carnauba-based product at a very attractive price. It's unbeatable at this price point!Car Nut

turtle wax carnauba paste wax cleaner excellent product leaves great shine after slightly more effort than some other products I used. .Product does come with foam applicator hidden beneath card disc in lid to amend my previous review error OOPS !JAX22

Excellent product and application process. My paint was in pretty good shape beforehand so the results after application were very close to the look and feel of the the more thorough use of a cleaner, sealant and paste wax separately. Very happy with the results!anonymous

I use to but only Meguiars products because I could trust them to do a good job…but never again. I bought a brand new $36,000 vehicle and after a few months decided to wax it. I purchased the red bottle of Meguiars cleaner wax because I had used it many times before and one thing I really liked was when I would get it on the black plastic trim, it would wipe off easily, instead of leaving ugly white patches like other brands. So after spending 3 hours sweating and exhausting myself waxing my new truck, guess what I ended up with ? Yep, ugly white patches all over the black plastic trim. I tried rubbing it off with a clean soapy cloth but no luck. I had to go out and but an expensive cleaner made for black plastic trim. It took another 2 hours to remove all the ugly white patches the Meguiars had left on the black trim. I will never buy another Meguiars product again, they lost my trust.Paul

I bought this on a recommendation to try to remove tarnish/wear stains on a polished nickel faucet. We had tried a number of other products with no luck. Followed the label directions and within minutes we had a gleaming faucet again. My husband has used Meguiar's on his cars in the past, and this product is now a staple in our house!f.

This is an excellent product. I purchased a used 2009 Attitude 33 ft Toy Hauler trailer in Feb. 2015. The previous owner washed and waxed it a few times a year so the fiberglass was in good condition. I used a RV wax I purchased at Camping World and waxed the trailer last month. It didn't clean or polish well. I read the reviews on home essentials direct that were posted for the 3 step process: Meguiar's M4965 Marine/RV Fiberglass Restoration System. I was very happy with the results. The first step removed the small amount of oxidation and the previous wax that was present. As described in the reviews, step 2 (polish) and step 3 (wax) brought back the bright white shiny look. I purchased the "Meguiar's MT300 Pro Power DA Polisher" from home essentials direct, which makes the job go faster and provides the best results. You will still need to do some small hand waxing around the edges. I also used the wax (step 3) on all my decals/stickers on the trailer, which will protect them from fading. Apply it by using Meguiar's W0004 Foam Applicator Pad 4-1/2". I have included a picture. The cloudy day doesn't represent the best results. Here are all the items I purchased from home essentials direct: Meguiar's MT300 Pro Power DA Polisher Meguiar's (DBP5) 5" DA Backing Plate Meguiar's M4965 Marine/RV Fiberglass Restoration System Meguiar's DFC5 5" DA Foam Cutting Disc (Step 1) Meguiar's DFP5 5" DA Foam Polishing Disc (Step 2) Meguiar's DFF5 5" DA Foam Finishing Disc (Step 3) Meguiar's W0004 Foam Applicator Pad 4-1/2", 4 per pack (for hand waxing some areas)M.R.

Bought a trailer made in 2006 and apparently has sat outside in all kinds of weather since date of manufacture. It might have been covered, at times, but the cover that came with looks new. Box on the trailer is 20' long. When I would run my fingers over the skin of the trailer they would quickly turn white. How I used this product since the Oxidation Remover said it was for "mild" oxidation, whatever "mild" means. 1. Rinsed the trailer and also kept the side of the trailer I was working on wet in front of my work area. 2. In a 1-quart bottle, I mixed 2 tbs of liquid laundry soap, 2 tbs Simple Green, and filled the bottle with water. 3. Using Scotch-brite„ General Purpose Scouring Pad 3m Corporation and this mixture, I would gently scrub the side of the trailer, rinsing frequently. It would typically take 3 washes to remove the majority of the oxidation. 4. Using Scotch-brite„ General Purpose Scouring Pad 3m Corporation as my applicator and the Meguiar OXIDATION Remover, I would gently scrub the side of the trailer and with a fresh cotton cloth remove. 5. Used the HIGH GLOSS polish as directed. 6. Used the Pure Wax as directed. The trailer now looks clean and shines. I'd say new, but the decals took a beating and there are a few rough spots you couldn't see when all the oxidation was present (read small areas of damage, hair line cracking that will need to be addressed). Overall, the product did a very good job of restoring the look of the trailer. Now in the future I just need to keep it waxed, and I plan to use the Meguiar's Pure Wax product going forward, probably an annual application. Plan to keep it covered when not in use. btw: 1 bottle of each of the three products completed my trailer. I'm pretty sure 1 bottle of the Oxidation Remover would NOT have been enough if I had NOT prewashed the trailer as described in steps 1, 2, and 3.M.o.t.h.

1985 4Winns original color was brown but it was white with oxidation. Its brown again and it shines like new! Nothing short of amazing! I had to get used to seeing the road stripes reflecting off the bow in my rearview mirror!David P.
