Hi There,

Just bought an 89 Dodge ram camper van yesterday, and it's the first one for my wife and I. I was wondering what is the best way to protect the roof. It looks to be fiberglass of somesort (definitely not metal), is there a specific product like a polish/wax that you should apply to protect the finish of the roof from rotting/cracking? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Try to figure out if it is paint on fiberglass or gelcoat.

If paint then wash & wax like any other automotive finish.

If it is gelcoat and it is dull and or chalky I currently use Protect All Fiberglass Oxidation Remover & Color Restorer

It requires some effort.

For wax, I use Protect All Polish, Wax & Treatment

It contains Carnauba wax and is the easiest wax I have ever used. Literally wipe on and wipe off. I use it on my car and my RV.

Protect All is one product that DOES IT ALL: cleans, polishes, waxes, protects and treats all surfaces -- front to back, inside and out. It is quick and easy to use and leaves an anti-static, water repellent lustrous shine on hard surfaces, while treating the vinyl, rubber and plastic.
