I am about to pull the trigger on the purchase of a new DP motorhome. It has full body paint and on the front, it has the Diamond Shield paint covering.
When you wax it, is there anything special you need to do on the DS? Do you have to wax it at all or do you just pass over that part?
What life expectancy can I get from it?
Best Regards!

Our Diamond Shield is three years old and we do not do anything special with it. I normally use a combination wash and wax product and the Diamond Shield has not been damaged by it and looks fine.

I hope I don't get dinged for bringing up an old post but here goes. Just curious how the diamond shield is doing Bill. I would like to replace ours. It is on a 2002 and I think it is original. I have heard about 5 years is about the time to think about replacing. Have you put on a replacement yet and if so how did you get the old one off, ours is all cracked. I did peel a small area and the paint underneath appears to be in good condition.
Thanks, Mark

Our Diamond Shield was replaced a few years ago when Newmar resided our motorhome and then repainted it all. So far, the replacement is doing fine.

Thanks for the feedback Bill. I might try stopping by one of the body shops to see about how to remove it or possibly let them remove and replace it.
