This is how and what I used to polish and restore the shine to our fiberglass RV. If your RV has oxidation on the surface, looks flat and feels chalky this method may help you restore the shine to your camper.

    Seeing the reflecting of the American Flag on the side of your camper toward the end of the video is proof enough for me. I will need to give that compound a try on mine. Thanks for sharing
  • @kenhuth1762
    Thanks for the video. I just did my Oliver this weekend with the One step. The front was pretty oxidized and it turned out great. I heard somewhere that after the one step you should wax it to preserve the shine longer. I used the Meguiars caranuba pure wax to finish the job.
  • @Holaroznic1
    Wow! Did not know you could polish the roof. Great info for the DIYer. Thanks!
  • @dakmack7154
    You answered many questions for me on which product to use. Thank you, Sir!
  • @530Sharis
    Thank you so very much! I could see the extreme difference. I’ve been searching for products, tools, and instructions to do this. I found them all in your video. Thank you again so very much. Now I have the confidence and knowledge to do it. God bless you for taking the time to make this video.
  • Fantastic information and demonstration. Thanks for posted, it's just what I was looking.
  • @DF-et4gs
    Thank you for making this! I have a 2018 Forest River product that has some chalking on the nose cap this year. I had been using spray waxes and hand buffing it out but that didn't work this time. I'm going to have to follow your excellent video instructions and invest in the right tools to address it before it becomes really bad.
  • @twobee10001
    Excellent video. At first I thought that despite your efforts you wouldn't be able to capture the high gloss that you achieved due to the bright sky, but your many camera angles really showed the difference!
  • Wow, this is exactly what I have been looking for--thanks for the great demo!
  • @webcompanion
    I used the #67 and a wool pad on my random orbit polisher on my travel trailer. This RV had oxidation (chalking) of the fiberglass as well as some minor black streaks. It took all that off and left a beautiful shine! I'm so happy with it! Thanks for these tips!!
  • @johnboy5632
    I have the same Product....... you can't go wrong with Meguair's compounds. Thanks man for the upload! Great job! 👏
  • @wireman4545
    Thanks very much for taking the time to make this video. I just purchased an 1976 trillium trailer that has a super dull finish and will definately try this.
  • Thanks for your helpful information 👍I'm going to do this 😀
  • @telcobilly
    Fantastic information. I have a fiberglass slide in utility body which made into a camper. It's 11 ears old and sprnt most of its life outside. I'm definitely going to try that product.

    Hello, I recently watched your video to remove some oxidation on the top of my front cap of my 2014 Keystone Sprinter. I used the one-step #67 as you recommended and could not believe how effortless it was to make it look new again. I worked in small areas so it took me longer than it probably should have but I am super impressed. I then lightly buffed the area with a carnauba wax to put a layer on top. Very happy. Thank you for sharing!

    Thanks for a grate help on this, I have a Jayco 2004 van it had no shine when I just Brouth it then I was looking at your home work on polishing your van so that's how I started. I got the Meguiars Oxidation Remover Heavy Duty Cleaner it didn't seem to work that good I was not happy with this so I tried a little patch with 600 wet and dry with heaps of soap wash it with clean water then hit it with the foam Buff and wow what a difference a Big shine came up very happy . When I went to But one-step cut-polish can't get this in Australia so I done this with Meguiars Oxidation Remover then the Meguiars Boat Caravan High Gloss Polish with wool pad and it looks like a new van now. ( For Bad Oxidation this idea works and it will make you Happy with your hard work ) So thanks again for your help on this.
