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?

Most any car wax will work. I used a Meguiar's wax after I removed the oxidation. Some folks swear by ceramic coatings.
