- In this video, I'm going to show you how to remove oxidation from your RV, 5th wheel, travel trailer, toy hauler, boat, or camper fiberglass gelcoat. This includes polishing & sealing with Flagship gelcoat wax to protect the finish! This will remove light to medium oxidation and will leave a great travel trailer gelcoat wax. Fairly easy steps for deep cleaning your RV & applying travel trailer wax. These steps & products work for camper oxidation removal, Rv oxidation removal, 5th wheel oxidation removal, toy hauler oxidation removal, & boat oxidation removal.
If the surface still looks cloudy or hazy afterwards, it's likely you either have polish compound that still needs removed or the oxidation is deeper into the gelcoat and will need additional steps to restore it to perfection such as wet sanding & then compounding.
There are other products that will work as well or maybe even better, but this is an easy & affordable option as they're rather inexpensive products compared to some polishes. Plus, they're rather forgiving for working outside in the sun.

Loved it! Thank you!
Awesome! Thanks for watching & for commenting!
Very informative. Thank you for this!!
Thank you! I hope you found something that'll help you out!
@Premier_Auto_Detailing definitely! We actually just washed a 29 ft fifth wheel. We tried the compound and pads for a car today to get the shine to come back, and quickly saw that it was not going to do the job.
Now we're ready for the job tomorrow. Thanks in part to your video.We really appreciate it!
Awesome! Pads, you'd be OK, but the compound really needs more cut. If you find it's shiny from 1 angle & cloudy looking from the opposite side of the light source, buffing will not fix it. The shiny angle means the surface oxidation was removed & it's polished out. The same spot with the light behind you vs in front of you being cloudy and blotchy means it has deeper level oxidation that would need wet sanding followed up with a 2 step. It sounds odd & is hard to describe but check different angles of light & if it's there, then what I described will make better sense. Good luck & have fun with it!
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.
Glad you were able to find a combination that worked well for you! Stark products are great too, "Level R" is a heavy cut, but when it's that bad, it usually needs some sand paper. Thanks for the comment, I appreciate it!
After a couple years of using foam pads & meguiars compounds I changed to 3 M perfect it line & wool pads. The Flagship wax as a finish is good . As are foam pads for a final finish. My results are better now as is my satisfaction in the shine & durability. A good industrial platform ladder is much safer & ergonomic
Hey Jeff, I would agree. A wool pad makes quick work of more severe oxidation if doing a 2 step followed up with a foam pad, then a wax/ sealant/ coating. I do like the Meguiar's AIO for jobs like this where we're trying to meet a budget & it's rather forgiving to use in direct sunlight on a 100+°F day lol. For durability without a cost factor, I'd go with a ceramic coating all the way.
Thanks for the comment!
I have started using McGuires 67 and I'm told to use a sheepskin pad and I've been told to use a foam pad. When I did put it on they said to get it off with a towel immediately. It dries too fast and I get a cloudy effect.
One of the great things about detailing is that you can do things many different ways & still get great results! I have a decent collection of pads & personally don't even have a sheepskin pad. For me, foam for finishing & most light to moderate corrections, purple wool if I really really need to chew into something followed up with foam. I personally keep the pads fairly damp with rinseless wash. It can get a little grabby when coming off but it's not usually too bad. Make sure you aren't overusing the product. If it's too thick it can cause some of the issues you described. You can also do 2 towels for removal. 1 damp with rinseless to use 1st, which will get rid of the majority, then immediately hit it with the 2nd dry towel.
Could you also tell me what type of pads to buy ?
I personally like the DA Fine foam pads from Rupes for nearly everything. The yellow is my goto like 90% of the time & the blue is very aggressive for a foam but still does decent even with an AllInOne style product. I use the white rarely unless it's the last part of doing a full correction.
Don't forget to select the size for your equipment!

If you ever need to demo products, I have an RV for you to test on ;)
I may hit you up. I was thinking about it a couple of weeks ago. I just don't get down your way too often
I noticed you are doing the polishing in full sun, any tips or tricks?
Hey! Good question, obviously shade is ideal but not always possible. Some compounds tend to do better than others at not drying too fast. The compound in the video is one of them. The wax does tend to flash & dry quicker, though. Using a machine to wax helps expedite the process & keeps the "wax off" phase to a minimum.
General tips, 1 I keep my polishing pads a little damp. I use either DI water or Rinseless Wash in a spray bottle (mist one spray on the pad & run at max speed for about 10 seconds). 2 Spray some panel prep or distilled/ deionized water from a spray bottle just before you start the section to cool the panel if it's hot to touch. 3. Adjust the size of the work area if needed. It seems counterproductive, but smaller sections will save you time overall vs. fighting dried compound. 4 Start in an area that makes sense for the current time of day & throughout the rest of the job. You don't want to start the sun side & follow it.
Hope that helps a little. It's 112°F this weekend here, so it definitely adds challenges!
@@Premier_Auto_Detailing Thank You Sir!!
No problem! I would also suggest Blackfire All In One & DIY Detail Gold standard polish for longer work times on your autos. I use those 2 often for that reason. Blackfire has synthetic sealant that's good for about 6 months and looks great!! DIY works and looks good, but you'll need to use a wax, sealant, or ceramic coating afterward to protect it.
