Best wax to use
Our unit is made of fiberglass panels, but the dealer said to use any type of good car wax. I am wondering if it would be better to use a wax specifically designed for fiberglass. What do you guys think?

I've been using Nu-finish on the front and rear caps which see all the bugs and flipped up road tar and Bass Boat Saver on the sides of our rig.

Nu finish here as well, cars,boats rv's for over 20 yrs. Nice bonus using Nu finish is that it is great for removing bug guts, road tar etc.

Z-AIO (All-in-one), by Zaino. Then finish with Z-5 PRO Show Car Polish.

Read this thread.

Z-AIO:
• Excellent daily driver solution
• Easy to apply & remove
• Apply by hand or machine
• Safe for all paint types
• Restores dull paint & minor oxidation
• Safely smooths minor flaws & cleans embedded debris
• Leaves a glossy & strong protective layer
• Excellent base coat setup for optional Z-2 PRO or Z-5 PRO application
• Does not contain any oils or fillers

Z-5:
• Unbelievable levels of shine, gloss, depth, clarity, and reflectivity
• Enhanced swirl-hiding capabilities
• Unbeatable durability - lock in that show car shine for months
• Improved ease of use - wipe on, wipe off
• No dust, no staining, no streaking
• Greater value
