Best Wax for Fiberglass Trailer?

What's the best kind of wax to use on a Fiberglass trailer?

I was planning on getting Meguiars Marine Wax (on Amazon), but I wanted to get some experienced opinions as well. This stuff is supposed to be great on fiberglass and I've always loved Meguiar's products, but this is my first time waxing the new trailer and I want to make sure I get something that will work well.

Any opinions and advice on tackling this massive project are appreciated. The only one I don't want to hear about is paying someone to do it for me. I can find better ways to spend $500.

    I just use MeQuire's regular cleaner wax. Cleans the blemishes off, and leaves a like new shine. Have used it on the APEX since new, and the former TT as well.

    I agree with the Collinite Insulator Wax. It had lots of good reviews when I did a research, I used it once and it did well. I have since sold that trailer and am ready to use it again on my new one.

    Collinite 845, a little goes a long way, apply lightly, comes off easily.

    I've been using Meguires products for around 15 years and have progressed from their NXT to now their Ultimate and really like their products. My Van sits out 24/7 and still looks new after 14 years. ALso, have been using on my trailer since new back in 2007.

    There might be a few better, but Meguire's is much more available and to me that is a HUGE plus.

    I recently restored my pop-up's fiberglass top using the Meguires Fiberglass Restoration Kit http://www.amazon.com/Meguiars-M4965-Marine-Fiberglass-Restoration/dp/B0000AY4YT/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1443095988&sr=8-1&keywords=meguires+fiberglass+restoration

    Three step system to cut through the chalking, smooth the finish then bring up the shine. Was a lot of work, but the results were amazing. Topped it off with a pure carnuba wax for that "blind you in the sun" look.

    I use collinite on all my plastic toys.Very durable lasts the longest.One word of wisdom do not use a wax that contains carnuba if your rig is white, sometimes the wax has a tendency to yellow.
