Had anyone heard of using this mix to wax the MH? I got this from another board.
1 cup distilled water
1 cup liquid Turtle Wax
1 tablespoon of Dawn dishwashiing liquid (regular)
Mix in a spray bottle, spray on your (clean) MH and wipe off with a towel. Presto, waxed........
Thanks,
Jim

I did see recently someone mention using future floor wax and a sponge mop. Let us know how the home brew works out. I thought you were supposed to not get the wax on the window trim rubber.

Sounds like it'd be self-cleaning by sudsing up every time it rained.... 
More seriously, I'd have to wonder about how durable the protecion was. If you try it, I'd suggest putting it on a small area first, and waiting a while, maybe a few months, before doing the whole unit. Keep us posted.

I'll stick to the old fashioned way (and of course pay to have it done). Anything spray-on is probably as effective as the spray-on wax you get in a drive-through car wash. I wouldn't have a lot of faith in it, especially if any oxidation at all was present. JMO

I heard someone mention Meguiar’s cleaning wax and I was looking all over the internet to find a reasonable price with shipping. I gave up. A couple of weeks later I found it on the shelf at a local Dollar General store for about $5.50.

FWIW, you can order Meguiars from their website.

They also carry rv products as well.
They have some excelent products. I use them on my truck and am very happy with the results.
My understanding is that using dish soap of any kind will strip the wax off the vehicle

I would not recommend using dish detergent at all unless wanting to strip off the old wax.
Dish soap breaks down the protectants in wax, therefore deeming it useless.
I have mixed water with certain paste wax to make it more pliable though. If it's already a liquid wax, there's no need to mix in water.

Soap WITH wax defeats the purpose.
For me, it's the old fashion way, but I have to admit I have gone to a electric buffer, the old elbows aren't what they used to be.
Also look around this site for wax etc, the catalogs are great.

Remember the TV ads where the guy sprays the wonder shine product on the car in the junk yard-it was silicone with fragrance.No backyard brew or easy way around a good waxed finish-a buffer saves your arms-just think- if do it by hand you can burn all those extra calories and have that pecan fudge cookie with ice cream tonight
