Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

I got a few scratches along the side of our rig while trying to get out of a tight spot. They are from tree branches, most of them are fairly light with one that looks to be deeper. It does not look like there is any paint damage, just on the coating. Any advice on how to get these out and treat the area after removal would be appreciated!

Can't go wrong with the 3M products.

However there are lots of good products out there. Be careful on how course of a compound you get/use or you could do more damage. Try a small area to make sure all is going well.

There is lots of helpful Youtube videos if you browse around.

I personally use 3M or Dupont for rubbing compounds.....as far as paste wax ,a good carnuba like Mothers or Maguires is preferred.

if you are compounding make sure to use a paste wax after compounding first before using a finish spray wax.
