I had a Class C for fourteen years that I waxed at least twice a year. It had a corrugated fiberglass finish which was brutal to wax.

I would spray the area where I was going to wax with the Pledge and then wax that area. It put moisture back into surface and made it easier to apply the wax without it skidding or leaving an uneven shine.
