When properly protected, RV graphics should maintain optimal appearance for roughly seven years. Depending on the type of travel for which you use your RV, that lifespan could be drastically shortened if you don’t take precautions to keep them safe from the elements. To ensure you keep your shiny RV graphics looking spick and span for many years to come, we teach you in this quick video some simple actions you can take while at home and out on the road.
RVing expert Dave Solberg talks about his favorite tips for maintaining and protecting an RV’s graphics. He explains why it’s so important to limit the amount of time your RV is exposed to harmful UV rays, and introduces an inexpensive way to mend any minor damage the graphics suffer and keep up appearances. With Dave’s help, you can protect your slick decals and get the biggest bang for your buck!

Could I use 303 UV protectant?

Hi Dennis. Yes you sure can. That product is safe to use on a lot of materials including vinyl (which a lot of graphics are made of), plastic, rubber, leather etc. I have heard great things about their protectant and it does say it is safe to use on the materials on the outside of RV's. Sincerely,Dan RV Repair Club

Said the name of the product so fast that I missed it, even after rewinding several times, I could not pickup on the name of the product that will protect decals.
