Summer is prime time for travel trailers—but it’s also prime time for sun damage, oxidation, and endless scrubbing. If you’re still waxing your trailer or haven’t added any protection at all, now is the time to act.

At CGI Detailing, we specialize in ceramic coating for fiberglass travel trailers. We help owners protect their investment before the summer heat, UV rays, and grime take their toll. Here’s why now is the best time to ceramic coat your trailer.

☀️ 1. Summer UV Rays Will Destroy Your Gelcoat

Fiberglass trailers are beautiful, but they’re vulnerable. Gelcoat is a porous surface that fades, oxidizes, and chalks when exposed to sun and weather—especially in the intense heat of a Southern summer.

A ceramic coating like Glidecoat ALPHA provides:

High UV resistance
A durable protective barrier
A glossy, rich finish that won’t dull

The sooner you coat your trailer, the longer it’s protected from summer sun damage.

🧼 2. You’ll Spend Less Time Washing and More Time Traveling

Summer RVing means more road grime, bugs, pollen, and tree sap—all of which cling to untreated fiberglass and take forever to scrub off.

With ceramic coating, the surface becomes hydrophobic and slick:

Bugs wipe off easily
Tree sap doesn’t bond to the surface
Dirt and road film rinse away with minimal effort

And you can finally retire your step ladder, elbow grease, and harsh cleaners.

If you’ve ever tried waxing your trailer in July, you know the struggle:

The wax hazes before you finish buffing
The sun bakes it into the surface
You’re dripping sweat before you finish one side

Ceramic coating is a one-time professional application. No more reapplying wax every couple of months just to keep up appearances.

Once we coat your trailer, all you need to do is wash it once a month—no more fighting heat, haze, or wasted weekends.

💰 4. Preserve Resale Value and Curb Appeal

Trailers that look faded, chalky, or neglected lose resale value fast—especially fiberglass units with visible gelcoat damage.

Ceramic coating keeps your trailer:

Glossy and rich-looking
Protected from oxidation
Easy to maintain, even in harsh weather

If you plan to sell, trade in, or even just impress your campground neighbors, this is the upgrade that delivers.

🧪 5. Glidecoat ALPHA Is Made for Gelcoat

Not all ceramic coatings are created equal. Many are designed for cars—not fiberglass trailers. That’s a problem, because gelcoat is thicker and more porous than automotive clear coat.

That’s why we use Glidecoat ALPHA, a graphene-reinforced formula specifically made for:

Marine and RV gelcoat surfaces
High UV and environmental exposure
Two full years of protection with proper maintenance

At CGI Detailing, we don’t use car products—we use what your fiberglass trailer actually needs.
