Try this web site I have had great luck with them...I use GEL-COAT LABS.
Click on properrvcare at the top. The Porter Cable orbital buffer is excellent with the orange pads, and microfibre buffing pads. Fast and professional.

Wax?
FIRST...... DO NOT USE CARNUBA WAX!!!!!
Second..... I am a big believer that nano technology is the way to go.

Two bottles did the entire outside of our 3600RL.

Carnuba Wax will turn that beautiful new white fiberglass yellow over time. Where as a good quality sealant will allow the white fiberglass to stay white many years down the road.

I have used McQuires (maroon bottle) spray on liquid wax (you can get it a Wal-Mart in the automotive section). I have used it on two 5ers for over 8 years without problems. It is easy to use, gives a great shine, and lasts reasonably well. You can just spray it on, let haze and wipe off. Do a small section at a time and eventually youll do the whole thing.

Put a little on your glove and rub it into the surface until it disappears. Within a couple of minutes, what has not disappeared, wipe off with applicator.
As I said before, Nano-technology makes good sense to me. I used to design equipment that would grind paint particles down to micro size particles in the paint industry so I understand how nano size particles are much better than micro size particles. Many people do not understand new technologies so they will stay with the product they have used for years. Even worse yet, some people will use carnuba wax on their beautiful new white fiberglass.

Our RV is too expensive to just go to Wal-Mart and buy 'X' brand polish and hope it works over the years.

Wax to Use`
I just ordered my 29SBRL Eagle Ridge. On my current rig I have used Meguiars Flagship Wax and my unit which is gel-coat looks as good today as it did 7 years ago. Since the Eagle Ridge is not a gel-coat I am told by some that I should put a treatment on it as soon as I get it. The recommended one to me is a product you can see on the web at shieldyourvehicle.com
It is expensive but am told it has a 5 year warranty and a friend of mine had it done 3 years ago and his rig looks new. Any comments or info or suggestions is appreciated.

I know everyone has their favorite with good reason...so here is mine-but it is not a wax-

I have used it on several different boats with very good results. Best thing is it really does last a full year on boats sitting in the water out in the sun all year.

I too use Protect All on my 3670 Big Horn. I used it on my Okanagan 5er before that and my Terry with great results. I like it because it can be used for Gel-Coat, for your truck interior, including leather upholstery and instead of 4 or 5 different products, I only carry one in my rig. It is easy to apply and doesn't require lengthy polishing. It provides UV protection as well.
A note to Canadians...... In Canada (at least BC) a one litre bottle of Protect All costs $40.00. At Camping world in the States, one US Gallon costs $34.95. Wait until you go Stateside to buy it! Much less expensive!

I too just purchased Protect All and applied it this past weekend, and it was very very easy to apply. You just wipe it on on then off before it has a chance to dry.. You can put it on the window and all the trim to help protect them as well... seems like good stuff...
