Peter, I asked the same question to Bud Cooper, specifically what does he wash it with, and he said, distilled water. Puzzled, someone else asked again, and he said, "Rain water". It is not heresy to clear coat, but I liken it to paying someone, so you can pee into the wind. Some people have had their coaches sprayed with plasticote, at a cost of about $1100, ot more. It has a tendency to dull the mirror polish, but then it will probably last for 7 to 10 years. That shiney door you see has held up for over a year, but it is inside out of the weather and sun. The rest of the coach has held up well, but will need another buff out in about 6 months. I just have never had the time or money to have it sprayed, with clear coat, so , it is naked, or, nekkid, as we say down here in these parts. It was polished last by a pro at Borden's and the Rolite and Nuvite, dry with a hard thin shell, to give the surface some protection.

Spray on clearcoat? or is that heresy? How much work is involved in maintaining the shine? Peter, Londonderry, NH, trailerless as of yet.
