VC-1 FAQ’s

Q: How often do I need to wax my RV?Your RV finish has no protective coatings or wax from the factory.  So, without Duratain’s VC-1 Exterior Protective Coating, you need to wax it the day you take it home.  Most manufacturers recommend waxing every 3 months thereafter.  However, once coated with Duratain’s VC-1 Exterior Protective Coating there is no need to wax for up to 5 years!

Q: Is Duratain’s VC-1 Exterior Protective Coating the same as Clear Coat or Ceramic Coating?No, Duratain’s VC-1 Exterior Protective Coating is a long lasting, tough, transparent plasticized coating similar to ones used in marine and aerospace industries. Clear Coat is “clear lacquer paint” and needs protection from environmental elements with a product such as a wax that needs to be reapplied every 90 days. A Ceramic Coating is a “premium wax alternative” that washes away over time, essentially making it just a fancy wax and not a long-term solution. Duratain’s VC-1 Exterior Protective Coating protects both clear coat and non-clear coat finishes eliminating the need to wax for up to five years!

Q: Will Duratain’s VC-1 Exterior Protective Coating stop black streak staining? Yes, black streaks are caused by dirt and pollutants usually coming from the roof – there is no stopping that! However, Duratain’s VC-1 Exterior Protective Coating will prevent those black streaks from permanently staining the finish while resisting premature fading.

Q: How do I wash my RV after Duratain’s VC-1 Exterior Protective Coating has been installed?If your RV is not too dirty, just cold water and a soft wash brush will do the trick!  If it’s a dirty beast and needs a good bath then we recommend Beast Wash, available online at www.WadeMaid.com.  Do not use any “wash and wax” or auto soaps on your Duratain finish.

Q: How do I clean love bugs off my RV after Duratain’s VC-1 Exterior Protective Coating has been installed? We recommend Bug and Animal Remover available online at www.WadeMaid.com. This RV specific cleaner will melt the bugs off your RV and will not harm the VC-1 coating or your RV’s finish.  If you can hit it, this will clean it!
