Fiberglass upkeep

Have a 2019 367BH. We are wanting to keep the fiberglass looking good and protected. What are some good waxes or protestants you guys are using? Mainly wanting to get ahead of the oxidation issues before they start..

Whatever you use you need to use it often - no longer than 6 mos. between applications IMO. Once the oxidation starts it's a bear to get off....and a whole lot of work. I keep mine in an enclosed storage building when not in use but we use it 5-7mos of the year so it gets lots of exposure. I have used 303 protectant but it says to apply it something like every 2 mos. I've used Meguiars #51? to clean and polish after it started to oxidize a little bit. I've got a bottle of NuFinish sitting in the barn I'm going to try next go round....when I get the trailer back.

I bet I have $500 dollars worth of waxes, compounding materials, and magic mouse milk. I used everything including Deep Woods OFF (recommended by a fishing rod builder in the motor oil aisle of WalMart!). Just for easy on, easy off try Klasse from Auto Geek or Amazon. I used NuFinish on my front cap and didn't care for it. It does clean good though. Pick a wax that works for you and use it often, very often.
I would seriously consider enclosed parking if you really like the RV.
I traded for full body paint, which so far I love.

You're going to keep saying that, convince me, then I have to buy a new trailer along with a diesel dually.....

What is the difference between the factory paint job and a full body paint job. The wifey likes to keep the camper in the yard when not in use so parking it enclosed is not an option..

I just coated mine with Hybrid Solutions wet-wax ceramic hybrid. Easy to apply.

Can't comment on effectiveness, but it's a start!
