Do you wax your fiberglass roof?

Just wondering if there are any restrictions, or better solutions, for the roof.

steve,
Yep, waxed it a couple of times in the 7.5 years of ownership. OF COURSE it's going to be a bit slippery WHEN WET up there. Geeeze, it's not rocket science. All you have to do is BE CAREFUL. You're not supposed to be Dancing With the Stars up there, just inspecting, cleaning, checking, caulking or whatever the purpose is for being up there.

It's fiberglass and as such, in the sun, will deteriorate and oxidise. So, some cleaning, and protecting IS NECESSARY on occasion. I'm not a fan of floor wax on any part of a motor home, but, to each his own. When we got ours, the roof was in fair shape. So, a good washing with a good dish soap and water and some cleanser to get any and all oxidation off.

Then, out came the Dewalt buffer. Not the cheapie type you get at Autozone, it's the one the pros use. And I used machine rubbing and polishing compound. Once that was all done, then out came KIT car wax. The whole process took me about two days. But it was well, well worth it. That roof has been in great shape now for over 5 years. It's about time to do it again. Winter is upon us in AZ and I can do many projects, that being one of them.

Below is the result of as stated, about 1.5-2 days, with plenty of breaks. You can see the reflection of the tubing for the drive-under cover in them.
