How to remove oxidation before waxing?
I bought a used trailer that has been kept outside and I would like to cleanup the fiberglass walls before storing it in my carport. What is the best way to do that? Thanks, Griz14

Any treatment with phosphoric acid based products or TriSodiumPhosphate will remove oxidation. I've been using Jasco TSP substitute for years. I mainly use it on painted surfaces before painting as it removes all oxidation.
If you want a gloss shine, you will then have to buff on a sealer like marine wax or you can straight buff it with cutting compounds but that isn't for the faint of heart (many hours).
I really like Zep products (was using one today for work) but I don't think I'd use the floor wax on my RV. I just think there's risk for yellowing or cracking/chipping and a marine wax is easier to apply and maintain.
I recently got some Parfe liquid wax but have only used it on lawn equipment. From those experiments, I'd say it's a pretty good wax, very durable and the application can't get any easier. After I get done with some other projects, the Parfe is going on the Hilton.
Good luck with your rig. A good coat of wax always says a lot for the owner, IMO.
