I made an arrangement with a fellow Wanderlodge owner to have my front clear shield removed. Sean Dixon is a painter and also removes clear bras from RVs. Sean does an amazing job and does it correctly, the paint on the front of the bus looks new. There are a few rock chips that got through the clear shield but overall the appearance is so much better. I would not just trust anyone to do this job, the Imron paint used on these coaches creates edges in the paint where the different colors are painted on, it’s all to easy for someone to accidentally peel the paint trying to remove the clear shield.
If you would like to have this done to your coach I would suggest contacting Sean, he and his wife travel the country doing work like this and paint work as well. He does incredible work.

Yes, that is some sort of mold etc that formed since transplanting the coach to the humid south. Some of the mold actually was in the paint a bit, so he had to buff out the front with a light cutting compound to remove the mold that was in the paint, but it all came out. He said with Imron it’s no problem to do a bit of buffing since there is no clear coat. He did a fantastic job, he has the patience to do this job right.

Wow, that came out fantastic! I have left my coach in covered storage in AZ. I am afraid to bring it over to MO until we get a building to put it in.

I wish I had indoor storage but its outrageous price for that here in my area. Luckily we have a lot of trees around so it shades the bus for quite a bit in the morning and I have put up a shade to help cover the afternoon sun. Maybe some day I will be able to get it in a building.
