Has anyone had a problem using 303 Aerospace for waxing the sides of their RV? We applied it on our 2008 Cameo after reading about people recommending it but it's not adhereing to the sides. Apparently the sides are a different product from the end caps because the fiberglass end caps are okay. Any suggestions for what wax to use on the sides?

I just bought some more 303 and noticed something I didn't remember in the directions- to wipe completely dry. This would usually entail several rags/towels. I emailed the company to find out what would happen if I didn't completely dry after applying. I got a list of several possible consequences and streaking was one of those.

You used too much, or didn't wipe it down dry enough as mentioned. A little goes a looooong way, and practice makes perfect as with any product.

303 is not a wax and should not be applied as such. The most common issue is using to much. Two squirts on a rag and spread it, then buff untill completely dry.

I would never consider using 303 as a replacement for a good waxing with a marine grade wax or sealant. Easy? Yes. Quick gratification? Yes, but it won't last long. A high grade pure wax/sealant, not a cleaner wax, will last a year for the sides & back. If you are a high milage traveler the front cap, bugs, will need twice a year.

303 is an excellent replacement for anything one would otherwise use Armour All on.

We only use 303 on our awning and other vinyl. Fiberglass gets marine wax for longer lasting.
