RV Wax & RV Polish: Understanding the Difference and Benefit
RV polish cleans and restores; RV wax seals and protects for a lasting shine
Maintaining your RV’s exterior requires both RV polish and RV wax to keep the gelcoat looking vibrant and protected. These two products serve different but complementary purposes in preserving your RV’s finish.
What is RV polish?
RV polish is a surface preparation product designed to clean and restore the gelcoat by filling microscopic pores and removing oxidation, minor scratches, and stains. It smooths the surface, enhances gloss, and prepares the gelcoat for waxing. Polishing restores the “like-new” shine by leveling out imperfections and can be applied by hand or machine. It does not provide long-term protection but is essential for surface correction and shine enhancement
What is RV Wax?
RV wax is applied after polishing to seal and protect the gelcoat surface. It forms a durable barrier against UV rays, dirt, bugs, grime, and weather elements. Many RV waxes contain UV inhibitors to prevent fading and deterioration of the gelcoat. Waxing enhances gloss, water beading, and helps maintain the finish for months or even years depending on the product used. Unlike polish, wax provides the protective layer that shields your RV’s exterior from environmental damage.
Why Use Both?
- Polish first to clean, restore, and smooth the gelcoat.
- Wax second to protect the polished surface and extend the life of the finish.
- This two-step process ensures maximum gloss, durability, and protection for your RV’s gelcoat.
Benefits of RV Wax & Polish
- Restores and maintains a glossy, smooth gelcoat finish.
- Protects against UV damage, oxidation, and environmental contaminants.
- Enhances water beading and reduces dirt adherence.
- Prolongs the lifespan and resale value of your RV.
