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!!

Fiberglass or Gel Coat?


I cannot seem to find it, but someone posted recently about what they use to polish and/or clean their gel coat finish on their RV.  We have an Evergreen. I don't remember if it has a gel coat or a fiberglass finish on the exterior.  I would like to find that post to see what they said was an excellent to polish and/ or clean.  Thank you, P.K.

Patricia,

If your unit has a gel-coat finish, it's just another type of resin with UV-protectant chemicals and perhaps pigment added. Most fiberglass panels are made by wetting fiberglass weave or roving with an epoxy resin. Many gel-coat finishes (used on top of fiberglass panels and boat hulls) are a polyester resin. Any good automotive or marine cleaners and waxes designed for fiberglass and gel-coat will work well on your fiberglass/gel-coat exterior. DO NOT use any abrasive cleaners such as Soft Scrub or scouring powders. These will deeply scratch and eventually ruin your finish.
