DIY - Restoring fiberglass on a boat or RV

A great product to use when restoring fiberglass, on a boat or RV is Meguiar's fiberglass restoration system, or if you just want to remove oxidation and use your own wax, Meguiar's Heavy Duty Oxidation Remover.

The first thing to do is make sure that your boat or RV is parked in a shady area, it is not recommended to do this in the sun.

To apply the cream you must use a micro fiber towel, or microfiber sponge and message it into the fiberglass almost like a wax, and then remove with a separate microfiber towel not a sponge.
Or you can use a orbital buffer to apply the cream, and then use a microfiber towel to remove it, this way saves a lot of time, but if it is not a flat surface i recommend using a microfiber sponge to get into the cracks you can not reach with the orbital buffer.

After restoring your boat or RV back like new make sure you keep up with your waxing to make sure it does not become oxidized again.

 As you can see there is a big difference, and it even removed the Glastron sticker residue left on the boat after they were removed.
