Boat Wax on an RV???

**nyyankees22** · 09-23-2009, 07:01 PM

I`ve got an RV project coming up. Just a wash and wax but I`ve never done one before. I`ve got a bunch of Collinite Boat Wax lying around...Can I use that on the RV? Boat wax is pretty tough so I imagine the durability would be pretty good. This isnt something I see myself doing alot so I don`t want to have to buy a product if boat wax will be fine. Let me know your thoughts on that, thanks guys.

I am pretty sure you can, boat finish and rv finish are usually both gel coated.

Is the RV the old style white gel coat? Or like all the new Class a and some class C types that have full body paint? If it is paint then you should not use the boat wax as it will likely be too aggressive.

My understanding is that Collinite 845 Insulator Wax (very popular on cars) is also sold as 925 Fiberglass Boat wax........ just an FYI

I think the waxes are pretty much the same, boat polishes for gel coats are more aggressive and should not be used on paint.. I use car products like Color X on my outboard and painted aluminum boat..
