What kind of wax do you use on your fiberglass roof?
My Ladder is the same way.
I can over load it OK.
steveKK,
If you're addressing me on my roof pics and would like to know what wax I use. Well, it's not so much the wax as it primarily is the fact that the roof was machine "rubbed out" with a Dewalt buffer and a foam pad. I used 3M Rubbing compound (heavy liquid). Last year when I did it the first time, it took me about 2.5 days, on and off, lots of break times due to the hard work and fairly high temps I was working in at the time.
And, as stated, the roof had NEVER had any maintenance done on it since it was new. We purchased the rig with 7 years on it, even though it had been covered for its life up to that point. There were lots of places on the roof where the workers dropped silicone from install of certain items. And, there were also a zillion mold spots that had to be really worked on to get them off.
But, that was last year. This year, about 3-4 hours on the buffer with a few breaks, and about 3 hours of hand waxing and, you see it in the condition it's in.
Now, as far as the wax is concerned, I used multiple brands and kinds of wax. I've used Kit, Flash (A detailers liquid wax), McGuires Cleaner/Wax, and others. I'm not sure just which one did any better. The surface was ultra shiny due to the rubbing out. The wax almost didn't make it any shinyier. It just protects the work I did with the buffer. Hope this helps some. Yes, it's a bit of work but, I don't mind and, like stated, I get to inspect all of it.
