? about what wax to use on fiberglass top

[pasusan]

The rear top of our Bronco is white fiberglass - sort of a rough finish. I'm figuring that some folks here might know what we can put on it to protect it. I think it is similar to some truck caps that are used on pick ups.

I've been using 303 Aerospace Protectant and the top still looks beautiful. BUT... I think the 303 washes off whenever we wash the truck (which is after each trip). And of course, when we are camping the truck is often under trees, so we then get stains on the fiberglass.

I usually only apply the 303 once a year and the time is now as we are detailing it to put it away for the winter. I thought I'd first check to see if there was something better to use. 🙂

We've never used regular car wax on it because we have always had to be extra careful when waxing the truck to keep the wax away from the fiberglass top or it will leave an ugly smear.

Googling my question, someone recommended Woodys Wax for boats. I found some at Amazon.

Anyone have experience or any ideas?

Thanks for reminding me about Rejex - I already had that on my wishlist at Amazon for some reason. 🙂

Thanks - we'll look into those.

Yeah - I have heard that some people use floor wax. We're a bit worried about it yellowing though. I suppose we could try it on a small area... I know how to get floor wax off easily...vodka (don't ask how I know, lol).

For something as easy as 303 you might want to try protect all as it lasts far better. Has wax in it but is very easy on and off.

Thanks much for the reply - searching the internet it looks like nobody has found the perfect wax. It does look like most people say to stay away from paste waxes as they are too hard to apply and wipe off the orange peel type surface. I am now looking at a wipe on sealant instead of wax. Don't know if we want to try something so different though.

Thinking of going through the trouble of applying 303 after every wash and see how that goes. Could try that for a year...

Never heard of Woody's boat wax. Perhaps I will givt it a go. Every year I try a different brand of wax. Thus far my best results are from Mcguire's California Gold. It is a carnuba wax and a bit of elbow sweat to get off the first coat but holds up a full year and just gets better with each coat. Seems everyone has their favorite. Best of luck
