    Blackfire on Fiberglass Camper?

    I have a Fleetwood popup camper, fiberglass roof, painted metal sides. Just as I like to keep my vehicles cleaned and detailed with the Blackfire line, I was wondering your suggestions on using this on the fiberglass roof of the camper?

    I have just about the whole Blackfire line, with the exception of the Black Ice.

    My main hope is to help protect the roof from harmful UV rays--the fiberglass is yellowing over time, and anything I can do to help slow that would be great.

    I welcome all thoughts and suggestions. Here is the camper behind a dirty tow vehicle, on a trip last year.



    Thanks!

    that`s a nice set up kevin. i would just give it a couple coats of bfwd and then maintain it with bf crystal seal and bf polymer spray. bf really makes maintenance so easy now.

    I agree with Steve.


    A coat or 2 of BFWD and them top it up every month or so with BFCS. That should make it super quick and easy.

    Is it a smooth or textured roof on that?

    Thank you all for the responses! I also have the TPNS, wasnt sure if it`d be good to start with that? I will be doing it with a GG Random Orbital, after cleaning the roof really good with an APC.

    07gtcs: It is the textured "Filon" roof as they call it. Don`t have any closer pictures of mine, but here is one from the web. DO not mind the repair--this is not my camper, but the same roofing material.


    glen_e is a member here, and on the Honda forum I am on, and pointed me towards the Blackfire line.. I haven`t enjoyed cleaning/detailing my vehicles as much as I do with the Blackfire line.

    As proof that I do keep my vehicles clean despite the filthy Expedition above:

    My 03 Accord taken yesterday, after a quick wash with Maxi Suds II (added a shot of ONR to see if it would have any effect), and a QD of the BF Polymer spray after. (It is due again for the TPNS, WD, CS, as I last did it the week of Christmas, just need to find the time).



    My Expedition after only a Blackfire Rinseless Wash and Crystal Seal, first time cleaned since the fall... This will also get the whole Blackfire treatment in the coming weeks, as time allows.

    BLACKFIRE will work great! Marine 31 also makes an excellent carnauba/sealant product that will rock on fiberglass!

    I was just worried about if you would get all that out of all the cracks if that was a textured roof. My RV had a smooth rubber roof and has to be cared for differently.
