Protect All Slide-Out Rubber Seal Treatment http://www.protectall.com/searchresult.aspx?CategoryID=8 for the rubber seals. I used DuPont Multi-Use Lubricant with Teflon for the slide-out rails and the rollers underneath. So far, this seems to be working okay. For the rest, I used FW1 Wash & Wax High Performance Cleaning Wax. http://www.fastwax.com/

We were traveling and saw a demo of the FW1 at a truck stop. We got a good buy on a multiple can purchase. It works well, and is safe for clear coat and gel coat finishes. I have used it on both my car and the R-Pod.

The Multi-Use Lubricant is also good for the stabilizer jacks.

I use 303 on all the black parts and seals and Nu Finish polish on the gelcoat. Has worked well for me for a few years and lot's of thousands of miles.

hi everyone,
I am trying to get a handle on what products to use on the slide out seals and rubber gaskets.  Also, what product should I use on the rest of the trailer.   I hear a lot of good things about 303 protectant.  
Tell me what you use.
Thanks for your help,
Joe, Karen and of course, Bessie the bassett
