What works best on fiberglass?

I've always had aluminum exterior RV's. This is our first fiberglass trailer. I'm confused on what type of wax to use? Does anyone feel one is better than another. What do you use? For right now I'm using a wash & wax. I really want to spend the time and hand wax it with a paste or liquid. I do have a auto parts store buffer, its not great but helps and not too aggressive. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Since it's new, I'd go with 303 Aerospace Protectant. It provides UV protection, leaves everything shiny, and makes for a pretty non-stick surface. It's also good for the roof. Easy to apply – like using ArmorAll. I'm amazed at how good my siding looks after using 303, considering how easy it is to use.

We picked up our new Cougar last week.

I will be using 303 protectant on the vinyl decals and rubber seals, and a wax on the rest.

I am still studying waxes and what to use on the gelcoat on the front cap.

So is this stuff spray on/wipe off? Do you let it sit for a while and then wipe off?

I need to read a label on some of this stuff, I'm wondering how much would be needed for a 2650 Passport. Good stuff!

To answer the earlier question, a little goes a long way. I'd estimate that 10oz will cover a 2650, roof and all.
