2025 RV Wash and Wax Discussion (send pictures of results)

[Chateau_Nomad]

Yesterday I got out my Harbor Freight scaffolding and scraped the caulk out of the seam (pic above). VERY difficult to get all the caulk off... using a metal scraper and lacquer thinner (what I had on hand) I got 95% of it. Then washed it with dish soap, dried it well... then applied a fresh bead of Geocel ProFlex. Odd that the other side was still in decent shape. Possibly because the crappy side was facing south over winter.

There are so many permutation, endless solutions that can technically work. All require stability to maintain a regiment.

That is why I tout pictures. Anybody can say anything and it sounds good, but what really happens in real life and over several years? i.e. one could argue if you do just your step #4 every other day, you may have great results.

Then again one (like me) could say if you have black streaks you have some other problem to fix first. Likely a dirty roof.

I never scrub, if you have to scrub that means you have a special cause. i.e. if you ran cross some tar on the highway, I get it.

Do before and after pictures of whatever you do, that will be always your best answer.

Good points....Since this a new rig this is my opportunity to build a plan and alter it as necessary.....yes, I'll document with pics....thank you
