hi everyone, I am trying to get a handle on what products to use on the slide out seals and rubber gaskets. Also, what product should I use on the rest of the trailer. I hear a lot of good things about 303 protectant. Tell me what you use. Thanks for your help, Joe, Karen and of course, Bessie the bassett

I use 303 on all the black parts and seals and Nu Finish polish on the gelcoat. Has worked well for me for a few years and lot's of thousands of miles. fred  ------------- 2014 RPod 178 => https://goo.gl/CV446f - MyMods and Buying Habits 2008 4Runner Limited 4.0-liter V6 Yes, those are wild ponies dining on grass while dumping tanks! |

Protect All Slide-Out Rubber Seal Treatment http://www.protectall.com/searchresult.aspx?CategoryID=8 - http://www.protectall.com/searchresult.aspx?CategoryID=8 for the rubber seals. I used DuPont Multi-Use Lubricant with Teflon for the slide-out rails and the rollers underneath. So far, this seems to be working okay. For the rest, I used FW1 Wash & Wax High Performance Cleaning Wax. http://www.fastwax.com/ - http://www.fastwax.com/ We were traveling and saw a demo of the FW1 at a truck stop. We got a good buy on a multiple can purchase. It works well, and is safe for clear coat and gel coat finishes. I have used it on both my car and the R-Pod. The Multi-Use Lubricant is also good for the stabilizer jacks. ------------- StephenH Happy is the man that findeth wisdom,... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7712 - ouR escaPOD mods Former RPod 179 Current Cherokee Grey Wolf 24 JS |
