Help - Fiberglass finish is fuzzy

Help! My newly acquired 1986 Toyota E-Z Ryder Motorhome has a very rough fiberglass exterior, because it has spent most of its life in the desert. I'm quite confused as to the best thing to do for it. I have heard that applying "clearcoat" is great for rough fiberglass because it is like a paint and will seal all the fuzzy fibers. I have also heard that "clearcoat" is NOT good because it peels in about a year or two. Then I heard that there is a special sealer that can be applied over it that will keep it from peeling. I've also heard that if you first put on a polymer wax-sealer and then later you try to put on "clearcoat," it won't adhere very well. Alternately I've heard that once you put on "clearcoat" and it peels, it is hard to get it off to do anything else. I'm wondering if it is apt to peel more or peel less with a fuzzy vs. smooth surface. Does anyone have any confirmation of any of this information? Anyone ever used "clearcoat"? If so, what brand, under what conditions, and with what results?

Please help. I need to do something about the fiberglass, but I don't want to make any mistakes.

Thanks,

Tika
