What is the deal with the Trident Coating?

Hi Fellow Streamers,

Different dealers in different cities are giving me different information about the Trident coating. I got a quote from Airstream in Boise, in Eugene they told me they could do a coating called Zylon and Seattle told me they can only put the Trident on new coaches, nothing used. What the heck is going on? I am older and can't wax it myself, any comments? On the road at the moment so any information is great! I want to get it done before I go back to the Midwest.

It is a proprietary coating. Problem is that after surface is contaminated, that contamination must be removed to apply the coating. Generally, you are sealing the clearcoat. It takes time to do what in the car world is paint correction. That is the removal of fine scratches and environmental contaminants that collect in the clearcoat over time. Correction takes labor and that costs a bit.

There are other ways to apply wax besides by hand. You might consider having the coach washed and waxed a few times each year. The cost may not be much more than the cost of the sealer application.

Good luck with investigation. Pat
