I've been looking at Poliglow to restore the outside of my trailer and to bring the shine back to the factory stickers. I also found this product by Poppy's Patina, who also has a product for boats & RV's. Has anybody used the Poppy's Patina pruduct before? It can be applied by hand or sprayed.

 
That stuff looks interesting! I watched two videos - the video of the re-clear coating the hood of the Chevy truck and one of the guy treating the red painted stripe fiberglass for the boat. Does he have a video for treating vinyl decals? You might call them and make sure it has no adverse affects on vinyl. Also, the two videos I watched mentioned temperature, but not sunlight. The truck was in a garage, but the boat was outside…just curious.
 
There's a difference between no shine and faded color. If attempting to restore faded color, there's nothing that can be done to bring back color that doesn't exist any more. If all you want is a shine back, then your product will probably do OK.

Graphics are fickle. I ruined the graphics on a previous trailer by putting wax on them. Ever since then, I've never put anything on the actual graphics.

Actually, my current Montana has never been waxed, just washed. It was treated with Resist-all when brand new and after 6 years, still has a good "shine" to it (whien it's washed). So, nothing on the graphics for me....
