Shopping for a new TT. What is the best product to use on a fiberglass sided unit to keep it shiny and minimize black streaks and to protect the decals from deteriorating?

A fully enclosed shed where it never leaves. If you use it, it will be exposed to elements and even the best products can only slow the aging process. Vinyl shrinks as it ages no matter what you do so it is a battle between shrinking vinyl and adhesive. Adhesive eventually wins.

As said above--I got my Monaco years ago, 21 I think, and it still shines like new. It will have 100K on it in 300 more miles. First - no decals, its all painted and shines like new. Always kept inside, cleaned and waxed when not in use. Also you get what you pay for and you have to take care of it.

I use McGuire's Flagship marine wax, Aerospace 303 on the decals and a carport. 11 years old and shines like new.

If you store it properly it could be a great garage find in 30 years!

Use a good quality marine polish and keep in a carport or garage when not in use.

Elbow grease and Poli Glow works for me. As for black streaks these come from the pollution and the roof run off. Black Streak Remover works well.
