Seam sealing question

2018 Freedom Elite 24 FE. I’m resealing my corner and side moldings with Dicor non leveling. I have 2 questions 1) do I use the same stuff for the outside shower door panel and city water hook up? 2) When I prep it for sealing do I need to get the surface 100% spotless like factory new? Typical of Thor customer service, I emailed them those questions and they replied what sealers I could use “inside” the coach…

I always wipe down the surface to be sealed is iso alcohol. I don't remember where I got that info from, but my memory says some cleaners leave behind a film and some can damage the surface material but iso alcohol is 'safe'.

If you want an excellent flexible seal that looks factory on anything on the outside of your motorhome, use the CLEAR version of this:

Hint: when applying, have a wet sponge and a bottle of dish detergent handy. Apply a bead of the caulk, then put a dab of dish detergent on a finger, then dab your finger on the wet sponge. Gently wipe your finger along the caulk bead to smooth and blend. Practice makes perfect!
