polish

I have been looking for the best polish to use on our Rig. My first thought was to use "Spa" polish. We use this product on our spa and it has always looked like brand new. But I was wondering if there might just be an even better product that will hold up to our Mojave Desert heat. Any suggestions?

If your rig has a Gel Coat exterior, I have a can of "Gel Coat Polish". These are available at auto parts stores or wherever auto care products are sold. It can also be found at RV parts stores. There might even be some at boating stores.

I suppose a spa polish would work if it's Gel Coat compatible. Having to only use one product from multiple applications would be best.

Anything that you'd use on a car/truck/boat will work...as long as it says it's okay for fiberglass.

I have used Meguiars' products for almost 20 years. I use their Gel Wash for getting the coach clean. I use their One Step Compound #50 for minor cleaning and waxing. For a MAJOR wax protection, I use the #50 then follow up with the Polish and Gloss Enhancer #45 then follow up with #56 Pure Wax. You can use an orbital polisher with these products. I use #44 for light oxidation removal and #49 for heavy oxidation, scratches, etc. Be careful with the #44 and #49, they are powerful cleaners. They have many products for just about everything. It costs more, but the results are worth the cost.

i want something you can spray on, takes all the oxidation off the caps, shines like a star for 5 years, that you don't have to wipe off.

That's sounds like what I need.

SeaPower. Available at most boat supply stores. Easy on and off. Made for gelcoat. Can be used without washing, however a little more elbow grease needed.
