No wax will ward off filiform corrosion on panel edges and holes under the rivet heads. They may tell you it will, but it won't. And it most probably cannot protect exterior fittings, wheels and accessories for any length of time.

You need a corrosion prevention product for that, CorrosionX and Boeshield T9 are good ones, applied on a regular basis depending on exposure of the Airstream to northern road salt and coastal salt air. And frequent washings when exposed to these conditions. Don't forget to treat the underbody steel as well.

It takes much less time to treat for corrosion four times a year than once a year waxing, or polishing.

Liquid Glass?

Where do you get Liquid Glass? And can you use it on the newer (2014) units?

We are confused about what you can use on a new unit with the clear coat, vs. what works on older units. We have a 2014 Flying Cloud that we just got.

Just so I know what to get....
Are people recommending "Liquid Glass" or "Liquid Glass Legend"

Here is a link to what seems to be the Canadian Distributor:
Catalog | Classic Glass


Also can anyone point me to the correct Micro towels to use. My local store only sells ones marketed by simonize:

I've only seen and used "Liquid Glass". Haven't seen "Liquid Glass Legend" so can't comment on that one but am a big fan of "Liquid Glass".

Liquid Glass.

Hello fellow streamers. Whose of you who use Liquid Glass on AS, are your AS older ones that are coated with clearcoat or polished ones with no coating. I have an 88 Excella with clearcoat and don't want to mess it up. Thanks
Happy camping nm1oqrz

I use Liquid Glass on my '90 Excella which still has the original Plasticoat in goid shape. I'm trying to protect and preserve the Plasticoat as long as possible and I think Liquid Glass does a good job. Plus it's easy to apply and it looks great. I use cotton instead of microfiber.

So just to confirm - everyone is using the "Liquid Glass auto Polish" or the "Liquid Glass Detail Spray"

Liquid Glass | Classic Glass

Thanks

Liquid Glass Auto Polish. Available at AutoZone for about $30.00, Amazon for about $20.00. I can do two coats on my 25 footer with one can.
