- rexlionExplorerSome people use Zep floor wax and seem to be happy with it. I used it on a TT I was preparing to sell, and it certainly shined it up nicely.
- wrenchbenderExplorerI use collinite restoror and marine wax on my TT and boat.Lasts for 2 yrs
- Bears_DenExplorerI use Mcquires on my vehicles and TT.
- mike-sExplorerPolish, or wax?
Polish, 3M Perfect-It EX Machine Polish, on a wool pad, on a Porter Cable random orbit polisher.
Wax, I like Zymol. - ScottGNomadI have found that Turtle wax and Mcquires seem to work nicely but when the evening light shines one them just right, there are these odd area's that look like you just smeared oxidation around. Using more polish just smears is around differently.
At first I thought it was that my TT was 13 years old but it does the same thing on our new one. This is for a white finish. It doesn't seem to do it much on a dark finish.
I'm still looking for a wax that wont cause this. - SoundGuyExplorer

During my 30+ years riding motorcycles, mostly touring bikes with lots of plastic, Pledge was our quick shine of choice 'cause it was so easy, so quick, with great results - 'til the next rain. :E When only polishing a few square feet I could do it every day if I wanted, always carried a can in my tail trunk, and always had a bike that looked as good as new. :B Using Pledge on the trailer with hundreds of square feet to polish is another matter, which is why I use NuFinish instead as it doesn't wash off at the first rain. Just finished the front wall on my trailer this morning - not difficult or too time consuming, looks pretty good, and I won't have to do it again 'til spring! :B I'll leave buffing to the younger folks. ;) - gmw_photosExplorerI've tried various waxes and have found for the trailer, good old cheap and cheerful Turtle Wax, applied and buffed off with the full on rotary buffer to be as good as anything.
- GottaRunGottaCaExplorerI was a boater for 20 years before I got into campers so I use This
- Community AlumniI've been using NuFinish for years now. It applies very easily and protects just as well as everything else.
