With a saturated market of fiberglass RV cleaners, it is hard to choose the right one for the job. At RVbyLIFE®, we’ve been making high-quality RV cleaning, RV repair, RV maintenance, and RV restoration products right here in the U.S.A. since 2011, and our sister company has been manufacturing premium boat cleaning and restoration products since 1959, so we know a thing or two about cleaners. You may have read our recent blog on what to spring clean on your RV or camper. There are many different types of RV cleaners and RV waxes and polishes out there, however knowing which is the right product for the job is one step in the right direction. Read on to learn how to choose the right fiberglass RV cleaner.
Determine what you’re cleaning
For starters, a general wash of your RV’s fiberglass and other surfaces is never a bad idea as there will always be surface level dirt and grime. Our most entry level cleaner, Suds RV cleaner, now in its new formula, is perfect for this level of cleaning. All you need is a five-gallon bucket, Suds mixed with some fresh water, and a sponge or soft cloth, and you can clean your RV knowing that the fiberglass will be left sparkly clean and ready for waxing. For tougher stains that require more elbow grease so to speak, you’ll need our Fiberglass Powder Cleaner & Stain Remover which is our heavy-duty cleaner. The non-scratching formula will lift dirt and stains left from rust, scuff marks, black streaks, and diesel exhaust. Simply sprinkle on a wetted surface, work with a scrubbing brush, and wash off with water. It’s that easy!
Now your dirt, grime, and streaks have been removed from your fiberglass RV, it’s time to wash the other surfaces.
Identify areas that need special attention
Both Suds RV cleaner and Fiberglass Powder Cleaner & Stain Remover are great for thoroughly cleaning your fiberglass RV leaving the gel coat ready for waxing, however for other exterior areas either and the interior, consider paying special attention to the surfaces in question and what needs to be cleaned.
Any areas where you have stainless steel fixtures will benefit from a once-over with our Stainless Steel Cleaner which will remove grease and stains while preventing fingerprints from sticking. Our VinyLIFE® Vinyl Cleaner & Protectant is great for cleaning any vinyl, upholstery, fenders, and other rubber products. It not only cleans, but also protects surfaces from harmful UV ray damage. Last but not least, our Graphix Wax® is specifically designed to clean dirt, grime and stains off of vinyl graphics. With UV protectant built in, the solvent-free cleaner is all you need to make your fiberglass RV’s vinyl graphics sparkle.
