Wax on fiberglass
Missed out on getting a spot for the long weekend, think I will detail the TT instead and wish I was camping. Any advise on a good wax to use? 2012 Sprinter 311BHS fiberglass.

Pretty much any one step cleaner wax will work. One step waxes use a diminishing abrasive technology (DAT), which allows them to clean/remove scratches and then polish in one step. They need to be worked a bit to get the best shine since the larger abrasive that removes scratches will leave a haze until they break down and do the polishing part. Most people can't/won't work a DAT product enough by hand to get the best results so a DA polisher should be used. NuFinish and Turtle Wax are both DAT cleaner polishes (they don't contain wax).
If you only want to add a protective finish and are not concerned about removing scratches, get a finish level synthetic sealer polish not a carnauba (wax) polish. Carnauba wax gives a great shine, but degrades quickly and needs to be reapplied about every 3 months, synthetics last about 6 months. If you want to remove scratches, you need something with abrasives such as the one step cleaner polish/waxes. I have tried many different products and a new one I just started using for the RV that is both quick and easy is Meguiars Synthetic Express Spray Wax. You can use it on the entire RV, cap and sides, and it won't stain moldings or trim. I buy it from Autogeek, but I'm sure you can find it at many other stores as well.

Pretty much like asking for everyone's opinion on the best beer or potato chip brand.
