If you're going to apply 303 to waxed or sealed surfaces, it might be much easier to wait a week or so after application of the wax/sealant to allow it to completely dry and "outgas" all of the petroleum carrier before trying to "wipe it off with a water-based polymer. JMHO/YMMV

Brent, my bad. John is on the money and I just went through this - should have remembered. I did finally get the 303 to work OK but had to wait a week for the wax to air out. Next time I'm going to wait a month or so I figure. On this trip we are going to try to swab down the trailer every 30-60 days with the 303 to hopefully prevent the oxidation/film buildup that occurred last year. Going to try and use a flat headed, swiveling mop setup (sort of like a Swiffer) and microfiber cloths to put it on and another similar setup with dry towels to remove it (hopefully). Trying to prevent the necessity of running the buffer all over it when we get back.
