I did this motorhome back in August with the help of my brother. I had to do this time on my own. The owner own's the local marina and I do all 9 of his rides. I've posted most of them on here. He is getting ready to head out to Colorado this weekend on a hunting trip and wanted it washed and waxed. I got up at 6 this morning and headed out. It was freak'n 38 degrees! I didn't realize too that the sun was now coming up an hour later here. So I got there and sat in my truck and drank some coffee.
When daylight broke, I started washing it. Using my brush, I broke it down in sections. It had mostly road film. I was amazed to see some beading still from the Meg's Cleaner Wax I used almost three months ago on it. After rinsing, I strapped on a Stihl backpack leaf blower that the customer had in his garage. WOW! I thought my 160lb. body was gonna come off the ground! I dried it and then towelled it down with the aid of a 4 foot step ladder.....I'm tall. He wanted durability so out came the Collinite No. 845 and Collinite Super DoubleCoat Auto Wax #476.
Here's the entire process....
Start Time:
7:30am
Finish Time:
2:00pm
Payment:
38ft. X 12.00 per foot=
456.00
Washed with Meguiar's NXT
(Used my wash brush and add one cup of Meg's APC to the 5 gallons of water)
DP's Mild Swirl Remover
(EDGE2K Yellow Pad at a #5 PC setting)
I used this mainly on the front of the coach. There were multiple layers of wax applied by the customer in hopes of easy bug removal. I wanted a clean slate for the 845 and Double Coat. I also polished up the side compartments and handles due to mild tree branch scratching.
Collinite's No.845 Insulator Wax
(EDGE2K Blue finishing pad at a #4 PC setting)
I've learn to pre-lube the pad well with water for No.845 to go on easy. Once my pad was well loaded, I could go far with very little of this wax. I put it on thin and even with overlapping swipes. I let dry for 30 minutes while I did the other side. This time, it came off so easy by hand and Cobra MF. There was a very slick feel to. I also made sure to shake the bottle very well......for about 5 minutes. I believe this helped since it seemed thinner then when I used it last week. I even used it on the mirrors.
Collinite's Super DoubleCoat Auto Wax #476
(Applied and removed by hand.)
After letting the 845 sit and cure for about 2 hours on the front, I came back with this wax. Once again, I wet down my MF applicator pad. This time with Wolfgang's Spritz Detailer. This really help the product to go far. It went on very smooth. I let haze for 30 minutes and removed easily by hand. I wanted the ultimate protection on the front and believe I may have it here.

How do you like the Edge 2000 waffle pads? I've just been using the smooth ones so far. Great pads, the wool ones work very well too.
