reubenray,
You'll more than likely get quite a few varied answers on this. I've done exactly what you're asking about. In fact, I'd say about 98% of the owners of coaches with fiberglass roofs, don't really care that much about what their roof looks like, as long as it doesn't leak. In short, what I've done is, washed it thoroughly with good soap, water and cleanser. That get's any and all potential oxidation off.
Then, I brought out the Dewalt Professional buffer. I used 3M polishing compound on the entire roof. Once that was done, which was about 3/4 of a day, then I used McGuires paste wax on it. When completely done, it looked like a mirror. Yeah, yeah, yeah, bla, bla, bla, on the "dangerous" when wet and, "no one sees it anyway" and all that. Well, it's my roof and I take pride in it and, it also give me ample chance to really inspect all the edges, seams, caulking, sealing and all that, really good.
Been RVing for a few decades and as of yet, I've not ever heard of anyone dying from falling off a "Waxed" RV roof. So, it's your roof, take care of it in your way. As for how to do it, as I stated, it needs to be cleaned first. Then, if it's semi-badly oxidized, it may need to be machine polished or rubbed out. Then, a nice wax job will be easy to apply and remove.
From that point on, it's just a touch up about once every 1.5 years or so, depending on operating conditions and, where the coach is stored when not in use. Good luck.
