Once Fiberglass deteriorates, The ONLY sure fix is to paint. You can use types of restorers and polishes, but the results fade away within weeks. For some reason, LOTS of people think fiberglass does NOT need regular polishing. I have a friend with a 30 year old Mastercraft red ski boat. Looks brand new. BUT, he is very OCD and washes and Polishes the boat every time he comes home from the lake or river. LOTS of work but the results speak for themselves. Doug
Yep, once you let fiberglass get chaulky, the only long term fix is painting.
We did it on a prior boat and it was a great option. Should be even easier on an RV. If it's just faded and no underlying damage, you might find a buddy who knows how to spray and it won't be a very hard job. We used a 1 part (interlux brightside) and it was still shiny 3 yrs later when we sold the boat...never buffed or waxed it in that time.
