It is not really polishing and not long lasting, but hard to beat

I did wax motorhome once in my life. That was about 20 years ago.
My elbows still remember.
I did polish 21' Airstream trailer. Took me 2 weeks full time. My elbows still remember.
BTW you can't polish fiberglass. It will pull the glass fibers.
You can repolish gellcote, but sounds like your gellcote is gone already.- Will I wait a long time for an easy to do answer?
- Go to the Shurhold marine site for some good products, equipment, and video instructions.
- Use an orbital polisher. 3M compound (purple bottle) followed by 3M Polish (blue cap - purple bottle) white pad for compound blue pad for polish. Finish it off with 3M Hand glaze. Take your time and don't keep the polisher in one spot, keep it moving. If it's not too bad skip the compound.
- Depending on the age of your motorhome and how badly it's oxidized, the Zep/Red Max Pro Process does a good job.
Follow the instructions to remove the oxidation and clean. Then use the wax of your choice.
It did a great job on our 96 Southwind. J-Rooster wrote:

- I have used, and very impressed with the Meguiar's Fiberglass Oxidation Removal Kit.
It is some work because it is a 3 step process. Which means every inch of the RV has to be gone over 3 different times. (Oxidation remover, Polish and Wax)
Applied with a good DA polisher. Goes on easy, and removes easy with a Micro-Fiber cloth.
Amazing difference.
- Get hold of your local boat dealer.. They are experts here and should give you the right awnsers.
Good luck Shiney
