Fiberglass polish/wax

**Roger A** · 11-02-2003, 05:57 PM

I am new to this forum, but need some help. What is best to use to polish and wax a fiberglass motorhome? Seems to be a lot of people telling me to use boat polish and wax, but thought I would go to the experts. Thanks,

Most of the same stuff used on painted steel will work fine on fiberglass. If you want to stick to a brand that makes products specifically for motorhomes and the like, have a look at Protect All. http://www.protectall.com/rvs.shtml

If we are talking about a gel coat on the fibreglass then they were right to point you at boat products. Gel coat is a lot tougher than paint and you will need some quite aggresive products if you need to correct defects or remove oxidisation.

Once you have the surface polished then your favourite wax will be fine

I recently cleaned and waxed the hull and transom of a 17 ft Boston Whaler Tri-hull with some Meg`s Marine Cleaner/Wax (don`t remember the number, but it was a blue bottle-may be number 50 or something?). I finished it off with some # 26. It looks great, even aftera few multi-hour trips. The Meg`s cleaner/wax did a good job of taking out the moderate stains on the hull, and removed everything but a trace of some transom stains. I did it by hand, though I`m sure you could use the PC and get it done easier.
