Time to call upon my all knowing RV Compadres out there once again. My 2000 Winnebago we bought last fall has a lot of oxydization as the previous owner always wintered in Mexico.

What have you people experienced or used to remove the chalky appearance on the side walls and bring back the original shine?

Like anything, I'd like the best results with the least amount of work. I have an osillating polisher if needed or is there some new product out there?

As always, your tips are invaluable!

A product made specifically for Gel Coat is Gel-Gloss. You can find it at Camping World and most marine shops. Here is a link to the product.

I struggled with this problem and have tried "everything" with inconsistent or poor results until a pro suggested I use 3M Rubbing Compound and a variable buffer to remove the oxidation. Then waxed it with Meguires Cleaner Wax (red can). I am please with the results.
