resist all
Well folks the dealer is trying to sell us the resist all protective coatings package for our 2013 Voltage for $1600.00! Is it worth it? We begin snowbirding/fulltiming in Dec. Should we go for it??...

my Voltage is fiberglass, and lotsa decals....
Fiberglass coat doesn't need protection, not to extend the lifespan anyway. Any waxes are temporary cosmetic effect. So if you think you need it - don't know why, maybe for decals - put on the cheapest goo that there is.
Not really. The effects of UV is decreased by cleaning and waxing, and that has been the case in the marine industry for years. I'm not sure I can say the same for "fiberglass" used in the manufacture of RVs. The fiberglass or Filon used in RVs is merely thin plywood with a layer of chopped mat and a thin layer of gelcoat sprayed on it , not extremely durable and not nearly the quality of that used in the marine industry. Over a period of time, the effects of UV will still kick in, but it can be minimized by proper care of the exterior surface. This is not an endorsement of the snake oil cleaners and waxes the dealers sell. All that is needed is a good quality wax.
