Oxidation Solution

[Canonman]

Just an FYI for anyone with this problem.
We park our Cougar on the south side of the house facing west. This means the south side and west facing front are pretty much constantly exposed to the sun. This spring I noticed the whole south facing side had what I'll call "alligator" skin" oxidation. It was probably there last season but I thought a coat of polish would take care of it. While it looked at the time, it didn't last.
After a quick Google search I found this video:

The guy goes into great detail on how he solved his oxidation issue so I won't belabor that. I just wanted to add my endorsement of the product he used.
Meguiar's M6732 Marine/RV One Step Compound
This stuff really works as advertised. Alligator Skin Gone! One Step
Two hours to complete the most affected side of the Cougar, so not too hard to use. Definitely use this in the shade and when it's cool. Also, I found after applying by hand, a simple buffer followed by a clean terry towel left a great shine.

Thanks Canonman
I've been looking for a product like this. My last wax coat was another Meguiars product but this one looks like it is made for RV applications.
Thanks

About 6 months from now let us know how it looks.

Will Do
Hoping a wash with Meguiars Gold will be enough to keep it shiny through the summer

So how is the Meguires One Step holding up? I just used it on my front cap and it helped a lot with the oxidation.

Just pulled the cover off a week ago. Heading out on our first trip this Sunday (6-25).
The oxidation cleared up really well. Used a buffer like in the video and lots of elbow grease. Polished afterward with the Meguiars Gold. Looked really good all season sitting on the RV pad next to the house. Family issues kept us from taking the Cougar out much but it definitely sat in full sun, all season long. The shine stayed nice with no further oxidation. I'm only going to give it a rinse and a wipe as prep for the upcoming trip to southern UT. So, I'm pleased with the results and standing by my recommendation.
I forgot to add, After using the One Step, I used Nufinish polish over the entire trailer.
