Fiberglass TT - Chalky Look - Wax Recommendations?

[bobsrvnet]

Hi all, with our 2002 TT with smooth fiberglass outer finish on all sides I have noticed it to be looking fairly chalky white on the surface. Is there any way to bring back that shiny gloss finish utilizing a typical paste wax? I have tried 'Rejex' and did not have much luck.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

You can test a small spot with a "cleaner wax". If it isn't too far gone, you may get decent results. You may end up having to do a full blown polish, then a good top coat wax to follow to get it back the way you want it...

True dis! If the surface is oxidized and you apply a wax or sealant, you will be trying to polish chalk and the underlying surface.
I like to use one of the TSP substitutes like Jasco brand to remove oxidation.

Do a search here on RV.net for "ZEP HTFP" you can buy it at LOEWS. Good Luck.
