I used Meguiar's #50 Cleaner Wax for RVs and Boats. My oxidation was light. They sell heavier duty products for heavy oxidation.]]> Mon, 01 Jun 2026 20:41:31 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16421&PID=155555#155555 Fiberglass oxidation : What did you use to eliminate... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16421&PID=155554#155554 Author: IL-Podders

This product used to come in a florescent green bottle, but the last couple of years it now comes in a blue spray bottle.  Works great!  First app. (do this out of the sun in the shade) with the surface wet, lightly spray on (don't allow to dry) and wipe off.  2nd app. lightly spray on surface and hose off with a stream of water then dry off with a clean towel.  Simple and gives a great finish.

I just Googled Meguiar's Ceramic and results gave a variety of options, all containing the word Ceramic in the description. Did you find any specific one the worked well? This will be the first application after removing the oxidation.]]> Wed, 22 Apr 2026 13:56:46 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16421&PID=155451#155451 Fiberglass oxidation : For the record, it's not... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16421&PID=155449#155449 Author: GlueGuy

For the record, it's not actually fiberglass, but the gel coat.

The Meguiars is still a good solution.

Agree with gpokluda.  I use Meguiar's Ceramic on my 177.  Does a fantastic job, leaves a finish that is 'baby butt' smooth and shiny as well.

The front of our R-Pod had oxidation from too much sun. I've removed it with a McGuires product. Any suggestions on wax/sealant to use to protect the "raw" fiberglass? And best way to apply?
