Wax on...Wax off
I've got a one year old Jayco 5th wheel that is stored uncovered and exposed to the elements. It's fiberglass and I noticed the front cap is dulling just a little. I want to wax it before it fades out...

I used the powdered form which removed some but I still had to use the BKF with a scotch brite pad afterward to remove the rest.
An easier method:
Jasco prepaint conditioner applied with garden sprayer to remove grime and oxidation, rinse.
Parfe liquid wax applied with garden sprayer, let dry. No buffing or additional application needed.
On typical painted surfaces, just a couple of sprays with TSP substitute is enough but sometimes a mid-process brushing with a soft bristle brush loosens oxidation and grime. A user must never try to rinse when the surface is dried. If a rinse is needed, reapply the TSP solution and then rinse. These TSP solutions will also work on surface rust but I usually go up the Phosphate chain to Phosphoric acid if I need to etch off a lot of rust. The process is basically the same.
