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

I will admit that I am normally a Meguier's user for the cars, trucks and motorcycles in my garage. However, to be honest, I really don't want to put that much time and effort into the trailer to make it look nice.
Over the years, I have found that of the many car "cleaner/waxes", Turtle wax is one of the more aggressive cleaners. I used it with my rotary ( not a DA, but a true rotary ) polisher on the trailer, and it brought the front cap back to a nice shine. As others have said, I agree it's mostly the UV exposure that attacks these surfaces. Keeping it waxed is important for best looks.
EDIT: my opinion is that you simply cannot get these nearly as nice looking by "hand" or with a "DA". A rotary is needed to cut through the dull finish.
