Good wax and keep it covered when not in use, weather especially sun is a killer.

Silicone and petroleum distillate along with UV are the main killers of vinyl graphics. That being said the best of vinyl graphics has a normal lifespan of only about 6-7 years. Just about all the major manufacturers of vinyl graphics recommend the use of Aerospace 303 at least twice a year and it also keeps gelcoat fiberglass, powder coat and anodized aluminum from oxidizing. bc75 don't use Zep floor wax either. |

Guess I need to get something else for the nose, I just wax and keep it out of the SW sun as much as I can. So you wax around the decals and use the 303 on them?

My understanding is that the nose is painted except for what is grey/silver or white. The black and ivory are paint. I wax the nose except for those grey/silver and white parts. I use 303 on the entire rest of the trailer including the grey/silver and white nose parts. Also never use 303 on glass. |

Thanks jetzen!
Good to know, I traded in my 7 year old "other brand" and the decals were just starting to peal around the edges a bit.
I am now in the market for some Aerospace 303.

Also never use 303 on glass. Might be a lots easier than waxing all around, never too old to learn something new.  |
