If you really like it. Have it painted. Use a good sealer on the fiberglass and then whatever color for the paint. Wax will only last for a short time then it will go back to being chalky.
This is the best long lasting solution
The economics of it, aside, of course….
I was sorta thinking that someone who is rocking a 20 year old truck and camper combo may not want to spend as much to make it look nice as it is actually worth as it sits.
Especially when there are other good options.
Although this assuming the OP isn’t going to paint it themselves since they were looking for the easy button.
Maybe y’all don’t understand what it would cost?
Heck, just the prep work to paint would be roughly equivalent in time/cost as buffing it out. (Assuming it’s saveable).
I agree to have someone do it is t cheap. I just painted my golf cart that is a 1980. The fiberglass had to be completely restored, reglassed on the backside with resin, then regelcoated on the outside. The primed, sealed and painted with a 2 part system. In materials alone I have over $700. I’m sure if you are just going to use a sealer, then paint it with single stage that would be the most cost effective. If you can do it yourself it would be well worth it. If you have to pay to have it done then you are talking $$$$$$$ you would have to have a sentimental attachment to it to do that.
