I have gotten a fifth wheel with a gel coat finish that has not seen to many waxing. What is the best method and/or best products to make this rv shine again?

Thanks for you help.

After using numerous products I went back to Turtle Wax Paste no cleaners. I am amazed how well it has worked. Oxidation and all.

Head to the RGV this winter, look for Steve II wash and wax. They do a great job very reasonably.

I use Maguire's Gold on cars and RV, twice a year and you will be fine.

Once you let a finish go without care it will take a lot of elbow grease to make it shine again. The secret to a shine is to keep up with it.

It might be worth your while to have someone else do it this first time with a paste wax and then you keep it up.

We bought new and used a product called 'The Solution' when we washed it every two months or so. A little bit on a paper towel is all you need. When we sold it 8 years later it looked like new and we were in the hot desert sun constantly.
