Washing The Bird
Pete,
It's good to keep a coat of wax or polymer sealant on the coach. I apply a coat every 8 or 9 months using the polymer sealant. It goes on and wipes off with ease. Leaves a great looking finish. I buy the polymer sealant from a local detail supply shop. It takes me 6 hours doing half the coach so I make it a two day project. Our unit has all the rivets holding the skin. A tooth brush works well to remove the sealant residue from around the rivets, and adds a lot of time. I believe your coach has the smooth sides so less time than I spend. A friend is in the auto. detail business...his guys will wash and wax the coach for $400.00. ..ouch. Curt Sprenger 1987 PT38, Anaheim Hills, Calif.
