I know this thread is old but we purchased an RV in 2007 and had the outside treatment done and I have never waxed my RV since. Only washed about every couple months with Turtle wax car wash... I am trying to get in touch wioth duratain again to have it done but they are not great about getting back to people.

Actually Duaratain is still in business, and I am surprised you have found it difficult to get in touch with them. I too had it installed in 2010 on my HR Scepter, and am completely satisfied. Due to recently a installed, and failed chip-seal on a Idaho freeway, the rear end of our coach was severly damages, and had to be completely striped down, primed, and repainted to fix the damage. One call to Duratain, and the arrangements were made. When the time came, they resealed the paint, and without question! Please be mindful, the damage on my coach was not the result of a failure of the Duratain product.
I may not have 40+ years has a car mechanic, but I do have 25+ years in the marine industry as an operator, and been directly involved with paint systems, applicatons, and sealants. I have been approached by about every snake oil salesman out there, and have conducted fairly detailed reviewes of various "Miracle" products" from paints, sealants, oil, grease, and fuel additives, and offer these these experiance, and end user, both in private and commercial applications.
1) Chemistry has changed dramatically in the past 46years, especially in the past 10 years.
2) Duratain was not offered to me, a consumer, as a miracle sealant.
3) There are now, and always be snake oil, and effective products on the market. Being an Engineer, I drill down several layers deep to gather the information I need to be satisfied of the decision I make.
4) After drilling the Owner of Duratain, Wade on the phone for approximately 4-5 hrs, during 3 different phone calls, I then applied the Duratain product to our product. I am 110% satisfied with the product, and service.
5) I would, and will apply the Duratain product to a new coach without hesitation!
6) Most importantly: do your research, become an informed consumer, and make the decision you feel is in your best interest. If you do, you are a consumer that is not likely to be conned by a gimic.
7) And finally, There will be typos, an spelling errors in the above post. This does not make my post any less important, than the posts that may call our my errors
