It isn't the Azdel you will be cleaning, but the fiberglass panel bonded to the Azdel. Use any cleaner and wax that you would use with fiberglass such as that for fiberglass boats. Ceramic spray wax should be just fine. ------------- 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 |

If it is new, any fiberglass compatible wash and wax will do the job. If you have oxidation, then you will need to get a gel-coat restorer, followed by a wax/ceramic coating. You can tell if you have oxidation by running your hand over the surface and you have a white-ish chalky powder. ------------- Gpokluda 2017 Rpod 179(sold 2023) 2022 Escape 5.0TA 2022 Ford F150 4X4 3.5EB Kawasaki KLR650 |

I use Meguiar's Ceramic Spray for all surfaces M2501. Clean and dry it first then spray on and wipe off any excess. Looks good and seems to last. -------------

Being lazy, I don’t clean, wax, or cover. Ten years in, the trailer looks good. High mountain desert, dry, windy, dusty, exposed. ------------- 2016 179 Gastropod 2017 Ridgeline |
