Our 5th wheel is a 2005 American and it looks almost as nice as the day we took delivery of it. My question is what do you think is the best fiberglass wax to use , I normally wax our trailer 3 to 4 times a year. I've been using a wax from the Pro-Wax shop. I know these products are always evolving so what do you fellas use?

McGuires RV/Marine products is what a lot of folks use. I have used it and was happy. Currently Im using Colinite flet wax. Seems to hold up better and easier to work with to me.

I have been using their #50 cleaner wax but last year tried the Marine Flagship line and like the results. It is more expensive but my rig sits out and still has a great shine from last spring's wax job. I'll being waxing it again soon with the Flagship wax. It's worth it.

McGuires Flagship marine wax in the black bottle. It is not a cleaner wax but a pure wax. For minor oxidation I prefer the 3M marine cleaner wax. Sides & rear cap are a once a year job. Front cap, twice a year.Colinite Fleetwax has a good reputation with the boating crowd too. Will be trying that on my saltwater kept boat next week just for a comparison.

Veebyes,
Maguiars has both a pure wax and a cleaner wax in their Flagship line. I have used both depending on conditions.

That's what I do for my Tug and TT too, so you can't really go wrong!

I have used Pro polish that I purchased on Amazon.com.I think it was $84 for a gallon and it goes a long long way. Goes on easily and doesn't powder up like many do.

Never heard of the Shurhold line. Sounds impressive with a lot of details and positive reviews. Various products for various levels of conditioning needed. I would be interested in hearing from others who have used it. I will be checking into it.
