Rubber roofs on RV

[GMCPOWELL]

Does mequiars make anything that can be applied to a rubber roof on a RV to help protect it.

Any of the vinyl or rubber dressings could be used. With the size of an RV, something in the professional or detailer line would be best.

On something as big as an RV and say if you do need to apply a lot of the rubber protectant product could you possibly apply it using a DA on a very slow setting to work it in, or would it all have to be by hand as most usually apply these products?? just curious here.

I think I'd use either #40 Vinyl & Rubber Cleaner/Conditioner or one of the Detailer line dressings (maybe a concentrate that can be diluted with water?) and apply it with a garden pump sprayer and a sponge mop.


If you could do a big dilution ratio you could also use a hose end sprayer.

I would think the foam pad would want to "grab" the rubber?!?! Maybe not!?!?

If you did end up with something in the Dline you might find a small hand held pump up sprayer to apply then wipe down.

Just tossing out options.

Superior Shine has detailed RV's before, but I can't remember what he used to detail the top with.

We use a product like "rubber guard" which is a liquid that dries to a rubbery film. It comes in gallons and we put it on with a mop.
