Remove Oxidation and Restore Faded RV Fiberglass Meguiars One Step
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 сер 2024
- The Sun has taken a toll on my Cougar’s fiberglass finish. The once glossy mirror finish turned to an ugly dull chalky white. The white chalky appearance is a result of oxidation of the gel coat. Luckily, there is a way to restore the glossy finish.
It took me a couple weeks of trying different methods, but I finally found a way to restore the finish. The process I used on my camper would work just as well on a fiberglass boat too.
Products I used:
- Meguiar's Marine/RV One-Step amzn.to/3bz7xjT
- 7” buffer amzn.to/2ZiiuRI
- Medium 100% Wool Pad and Backing amzn.to/2EZNYW9
- Mother’s Back to Black amzn.to/2Fe01Pi
**I used this Harbor Freight Polisher www.harborfreight.com/7-in-10... but the one on amazon I linked to above looks to be very similar if you don’t have a Harbor Freight nearby.**
Process:
- Work in 1 small area at a time about 3’ x 3’
- Apply compound to wool pad
- Dab on fiberglass
- Spread with buffer before turning on
- Start on low speed and evenly spread compound over area
- Increase speed to 75% and buff until compound is almost all gone
- Lightly buff with cotton towel to remove remaining compound
Tips:
- Don’t hold buffer in 1 place to long to avoid damaging finish
- Stay off decals as much as possible
- Make sure to stay off weight and tire info decals, they fade out very quickly
- Shine rubber trim pieces back up with Mother’s Back to Black

Hey bud it’s looking great! Couple of tips from a rv detailing shop owner.
1. Be smooth and a little slower with your passes. Make a pass then move down a little and make the next pass directly below it. Makes sure you don’t miss any spots and you don’t have to go over it 5 times.
Second. MASKING TAPE is amazing. Mask off all those edges and trims you don’t want your product on. Sometimes back to black only works for a few days and your lines come back on the trim.
Masking tape will guarantee they don’t get on it at all
Jon, thanks for all the advice I appreciate it.
I’m glad you included everything that you tried. I’m beginning to restore an old Coca Cola cooler. It’s pale pink from oxidation. The hardware store recommended turtle wax polish which I rubbed by hand with a rag. It helped just a little but I think I need to try something else . That one step might be the key. Thanks
I only did 1000rpms with a mist of water over surface and it left halograms/ swirls very light pressure I do not get what I did wrong
I appreciate so much that you left a constructive and positive comment - awesome! Sounds like great advice!
Nice Video, Before you start buffing again I recommend stopping by a auto paint supply store and getting a yellow wool pad with a proper back up pad so it stays firmly attached. The yellow wool will be aggressive enough to remove oxidation but soft enough to polish to a brilliant shine once you bump the buffer speed up. medium to medium high speed should be more than sufficient to do what you are trying to do. 3M makes a good quality yellow wool. By the way for a do it yourself job I think you did excellent.
Thank you for posting this video, I did all you suggested and my Silverback looks almost as good as new......really impressed with this Mequiars 67 Thanks again!
Great tips. You saved us a lot of time and effort - not to mention $$ trying a variety of products. Followed your instructions and got our shiny RV back. Thanks
Thanks for the video, just purchased a 36ft Keystone Cougar 5th wheel where the drivers side is really oxidized, gonna give this a try.
Good info. I will be trying this process later in the fall when temps are lower.
Great video and info bud 👍🏼
I mixed a cup of baking soda, 2 cups of vinegar, and 4 cups of ammonia and filled a 5 gallon pail with hot water. I filled a dollar store squirt bottle with the mixture from the pail to spray on and let it sit for a couple minutes. Then I just took a brush and started scrubbing. I used a sponge with a scrubby pad on one side (scotchbrite) for around the edges and windows.
This really brightened my decals and removed the grime buildup as well as tree sap etc. my next step will be to try what you’ve suggested. It’s great to find other guys who share their success! Thanks again 👌🏼
Perfect explanation from a tested source. Thx!
Thank you for sharing! I have my first trailer I’m detailing with bad oxidation and was fighting it. This helps a-lot.
Thx, been looking for such a review. Our Winnebago Ultralight travel trailer is showing similar oxidation. I will definitely give these products a try.
Thanks for this vid I feel confident now buffing my rig by my self
Your welcome 👍
Thank you for posting this-I will have to give this a try. Looks worth the time/effort..
You took a lot of the pain and hassle out for us.. much appreciated for sharing your experience.
Thanks!
I just bought a 21 year old Bigfoot Gel Coat fiberglass camper. I used 3M Superduty compound on a 9" double sided pad driven by a heavy Dewalt with slow start. The camper glass absolutely looks like factory new. Took me 3 days. Followed up with 3M Perfect it polish and ceramic wax. Feels like silk.
I used same product it last for three month then i found poli gro product supposed last for five years no buffing required
I'll definitely let you know and thanks for sharing!!!!
Hi boss.
1st, love the effort and journey. Now that you have had some introduction into the world of gelcoat, I invite you to consider the following video as another option.
The reason your B&D buffer had it's best results along your DMZ between "before" and "after" is because you probably hit that line, each and every time you were near it to leave a nice clean line, it did. You allowed the compound to work there longer than anywhere else in your working area.
I've done this for almost 20 years. If you didn't wash the RV well after compounding, you'll see fade soon, especially if you trusted the bottle of #67 that claims to polish & PROTECT, it won't protect any more than spraying your RV with cooking oil so some but nothing real. Dont believe me? Call them like I did.
You need more but I appreciate what you went through to get here.
Lee
great video and info. Some tips for your consideration, use painters tape to cover areas you don't want discolored with polish/compound. I would also say after spreading the product at a lower speed, raise the speed of the machine and use slower overlapping passes to work in the polish until break down. Lastly consider using a sprayer bottle with water over the polish/compound to help spread it and prevent gumming up. The polish work in time is a little bit longer with the spray of water.
Thanks for the tips
would you spray the water on the panel after you’ve applied the compound ?
You are amazing. The first bit of information I have had that sounds like it will work. Great video n thanks for sharing Susan my husband is going to love your video your the best ..
Thank you!!!
Nice job and NICE RV. So many people bust Harbor Freight. I have 3 Porter Cable NA/DA sander/polisher and a 11 inch Sears Buffer becuase there were now HF's in those days. Your keys are the right compound and pads and "Keep Moving" Thanks for posting, it saves many hours of experimenting. I have used McQuire products since 1986. My 2006 Ford Crouwn vice still looks new. Look into Mothers Clay bar kits. May be an idea for you.
Awesome video my friend... You're doing anyone that watches this a huge service... I greatly appreciate your time you spent making this video
Thank you
Thank you for your video :-) Very helpful! 👍🏻
Very helpful. Thanks for sharing
Dude, you saved my sanity! I spend 2 weeks using another Meguiar oxidation remover , polish and wax and it was pathetic, this stuff is great! I bought a bottle and hit a spot and was super excited! Thanks!
I have had a similar journey. My winnebago is white and I pulled decals off leaving sticker shadows and a pretty significant difference in white. I started by hand and have ended up with a dewalt professional polisher and started with wet sanding. I am however using this one step polish after a heavy compound. It is pretty incredible stuff. It seems to be the best single step stuff. Starting slow RPM keeps the grit heavy and speeding up really breaks it down and polishes. I am topping with Maguires marine wax.
How did it ultimately turn out for you,
We have a 2003 Winnebago also with some all over oxidization. Not very sexy! We're considering this process.
@@PlanFree You know what? I ended up wrapping in white vinyl. I polished my ass off. But the laminate panels on my View just had wierd corrigated patterns showing and it just did not polish like the bubble. The bubble polished like a boat. It was super oxidized and polished like nothing. The vinyl wrap was easier to do than polishing for sure. At least for me it was. I used Vivvid vinyl and paid $500 for 100ft of it. So far so good. It is 1 year old now.
This is exactly what I needed to know. I have the Laredo, your trailers sister. Same color etc. Same issue. Thank you!
Did you get to use this method for your Laredo? How did it work? Any pictures?
Thanks. Been working with one step but was unsure of some things that you helped answer
Your welcome
Thanks I am gonna try it on mine which has a lot of decals
Nice looking rig you did great im tring the maguires😊
I don’t think anyone touched on this. Rotary polishers create speed swirl marks or “holograms” in the finish. For near perfect results you will also need to polish the finish again with a polish not a compound. You will need a DA Dual Action Polisher or Random orbital polisher to get rid of those speed swirl marks you will create with a rotary polisher. Either way there is no simple easy way to do this process. It takes quality time to get quality results. Just know ahead of time this will not be an easy one day only task. Just work on one section at a time. Don’t overwhelm yourself.
Appreciate you posting this information! I have a red work N play toyhauler that has oxidized. I've been working on it but this will help greatly!!
May I suggest a cover for it when it’s done so you don’t need to that again ..😊
Great work thanks for sharing.
Excellent job and great info Ty. I like Harbor Freight products Meguiars also.
Thanks!
Thanks for making this video
Big difference you did awesome, more people need to see this . meguiars is amazing and i hope they one day come out with a product that you can spray on and wipe or just put in a bucket and just wash it off. Hello, scientists where are you?
Thanks, something you could spray or wipe on would be awesome.
Consider Graphene nano spray and wipe once the color in the gel coat has been buffed.
Awesome job, we just bought a 2001 Winnebago adventurer, outside has been neglected but overall in great shape. I will definitely try this Marine compound.
Thanks, good luck!
Did you get to use this method for your 2001 Winnebago? How did it work? Any pictures?
Great video brother! One suggestion: buy one of those hand held wheels to clean off accumulated gunk and polish. It spins as you turn on the buffer at low speeds. The stuff flies right off and you have a new wool pad surface to work with. Repeat as necessary.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Thank you! Very helpful!
Thank for making this video , we are about to tackle our 35ft Winnie and this video really helped us out
Your welcome
Great tip thanks
Looks good thanks for the tips.
Thank You!
Great job. It will be my next project, before my wife find any other one for me.
Thanks lol
Good video. What did you use for the thin metal covering on the bottom to restore finish?
I got a 2010 rpod that i removed all the decals, so its got dull n shiney bits, i got a buffer, different pad grades, the same miguired compound to hopefully polish all of it out nicely. Also plan to clean up the rims /paint them, polish the aluminum fenders also
I think you explained it really well. I think you saved a lot of people a lot of trouble doing it through methods don’t work but seem like they would work…
So good video. Thanks
Thank you!
Thanks for the vid! Just used your links for the compound and wool pad.
Awesome! Thanks you!
I used same meguiars with polish with 7 in disc took oxidation off great but certain angles in sun you can see swirl marks next time I will try rotating type buffer
Great video man
I did the first two things, then found this video, lol it's too much work by hand for sure. Great tip on the wool pads. My crappy keystone oxidized at 5 years old. Kinda miss the older campers. Cheers
Thanks!
Thank you for the advice going to buy some for my class c freedom elite
You're welcome. Good luck 🤞
I can’t wait to do mine!
Side note;
I’ve been using 303 aerospace UV protectant to stave off the daily effects of the sun, and it has been a great product for this purpose. You might consider looking into this product to enhance and protect your hard work. I really appreciate the video, and as I said I will be trying your method with the common sense suggestion comments that apply. Aloha, and happy camping.
I use 303 on my plastic parts, are you saying you use it on the fiberglass walls? I do see on the label that it can be used on fiberglass, but I was a bit worried coating my entire RV with the stuff
@@mse1333
I have had no negative issues.
The rubber around the windows, and tires too.
I use it on our cars as well. It seems to last for a few months on the sunny side, longer on the shade side.
Happy camping. Aloha
That’s a lot of work when you could just use 303. It’s good enough for the space shuttle I’m sure it’s good enough for the RV.
.@@EuropeanMotorCompanyFlagstaff
Thanks been trying different products and methods without success
Great Video!
Thanks 😀
I just used pollyglow on my 2018 Laredo that looks almost like the same exact rv. My rig shines better than new and it's uv protected.
Thanks bud 👍
Just used your method to remove oxidization on my 2019 FR3. Worked GREAT, Really appreciate your video.
Thanks!
Thank you...purchased product using your links
Your welcome and thank you.
Is that a harborfreight polisher? I have a chicago electric and it works well but I never tried it on my rv ,I guess I gotta try thanks for sharing my man
Thanks so much for your video. Have the identical problem you had and was using the same compound.
Like you I just wasn’t getting the results I was looking for.
Switched to a wool pad and that did the trick.
Thanks so much for your info!!
great video and explanation my friend... thank you..
You're welcome
Welcome to the fun of polishing. There is a brush and a wheel that are used to clean the pad. Try to do it after each section or two and you can do the whole job in a day. It also polishes more consistently with a clean pad. Using a rotary, it is possible to burn through the gel coat, so it is important to keep the machine moving and use a low speed setting. There are a number of sealants available that you spray on a wet surface and rinse off immediately. They will help a lot with preventing future oxidation so long as they are reapplied as needed
Ryan, thanks for the advice
Can you name a few of the sealants?
@@toolgirl30Poliglow or 303 protectant are both good sealants after the hard work that have UV protection…
Great Video! Enjoyed not only the recommendations for products but how they were put on. I find doing it myself, I can control the result because I care the most.The people I hired to do it didn't do the quality job I was wanting.
Thanks, I know what you mean about doing it yourself.
Good info. Thank you.
Thanks!
Amazing difference! - I have a 27 foot 2014 Forest River Ultra Lite TT - It is starting to look a little "chalky" - I've ordered the compound you use and I'll see how it does with a buffer I already have - Thanks for the great videeo - Cheers!
How did it go Gary ?
@@glenngray1201 I found it difficult to apply and remove (buff) but temperature and humidity can vary these results greatly. - Good luck with it!
It did a good job on lightly oxidized area - I ran out of gas (personally) to do too much of the RV.
Great info, thank u for posting. Is one buffing pad enough for the whole rig?
One pad was enough for me. I did it over a couple weekends instead of all at once and I did wash the pad out and let it dry. If you're going to try and do a large trailer all at one time you might be better off to have more than one pad just because they take a while to dry out.
McGuires makes a 3 step. Depending on how much oxidation you may have to do it a few times. Key is to constantly clean off wool pad or try McGuires cutting pad it’s a maroon color foam pad which cuts through oxidation but cleaning pad is key to removing it better
I do detailing on rv gel coats
Once ya get it nice buy a cover to prevent and keep sun from doing it again wash regularly. It’s a lotta work but the reward is worth it
Helpful and informative. Thanks. I have a better idea of what my project needs. I’m restoring a not vintage but old CocaCola chest cooler . The kind on legs with casters. It’s faded to a dusty bubble gum pink. I’ve been rubbing it with the turtle wax polish that the hardware store recommended and my arm wants to falls off. Now I have a better idea of how to proceed. Thank you
Sounds like a fun project! Good luck!!!
What do you think of Poliglow? I've heard some good things about that stuff. We have the same issue with our Cougar. Its identical to yours. Faded out on one side from the sun, so looking to find the best
Products for the job. Planning to work on this in early spring.
I'm gonna try the wool pads. Been using Maguires marine/rv but wasn't getting the result I want. Thanks for sharing!
You're welcome, good luck
Thx for the vid..just a note..once you get the shine back make sure you use a synthetic sealer to seal the surface to avoid the chalky effect coming back....use a sealer such as turtle wax "seal and shine"..easy to apply and will give you at least 6 months of UV protection as well as a nice bead to help keep surface clean...avoid using organic waxes as they diserpate on first hot day or wash off after a few weeks
Thanks for the tips.
Great Video! Thanks!
Your welcome!
You’ll get better results and it won’t take so much time if you clean the pad regularly while buffing. Just get a stiff piece of plastic or metal. Turn the buffer so the of is facing up.
Turn the buffer on and then hold the plastic/metal and run it over the pad.
It cleans out the dried out polish and you don’t have to wash it till you are all done.
Other than that. Great video. Looks great! I do the same thing with my boats’ gel coat.
Thanks for the tip!
Thx!!! Great info...
Thank you!
Does this same process work on the front cap of the 5th wheel or would you use other products?
Before using polish you could try to use a cleaner / wax product with a random orbital buffer and wool pad. If that doesn’t get the oxidation off then polish is likely required.
No cleaner or wax will remove oxidization
Do you apply a lot of pressure or essentially just the weight of the buffer doing the work.
did the samething on my boat then the flagship wax next is the rv same products as the boat gelcoat
How long did your RV look good? Ours seem to dull about 3 months later.
Hey I really appreciate your video because I have the “EXACT” camper and problem and after spending a full day trying everything. I came across you vid. Thank you so much and great video.
You're welcome, thank you too!
I gave it a try - bought a new buffer used the wool pads and the one step - I must now accept the fact that I have a have a learning disability as my camper has streaks everywhere - no matter how much I buff, I just can't look at it at sideways, quite nasty - At least my class A is tall enough when I jump off it I can do a lot of damage... so much so I will be incapable of trying this again...
Remember gelcoat is porous it retains dirt. You have to use rubbing compound that comes in blue bottles from meguires use a wool pad on a Dewalt buffer and be patient. Gelcoat is a tough substance you have to work a lot harder to cut it than say automotive clearcoat.
Try a RANDOM orbital. Usually a lot more forgiving with swirl marks than a straight orbital
Great video I have the same problem I will try it with an orbital no-fault buffer it won't burn to finish it orbits and turns at the same time
My ex, restores old cars. He buffs a lot. The way to clean your buffing pad,when it gets gummed up, is to take a screwdriver and hold the end of the blade at a slight angle against the pad as it’s turning at a medium speed, I think. Experiment with it. It doe do a good job of cleaning it. Start in the center and run your screwdriver out to the end of the pad. Hope this makes sense. I’ve never done it, but watched a lot.
We have the exact same camper. We bought used. The camper had set out in the Florida sun, for 3 years. Very oxidized. My husband buffed it using different products. He’s 77, but a strong tall guy, so he did ok, doing it. Wore him out. It started looking pretty good. He did burn a few spots. He doesn’t have a background in auto detailing. I sorta do via the ex. So, I warned him about staying in one spot too long. Anyway, plz never use TSP on your roof to clean it. He did and now out pretty shiny camper has white streaks, that we’re not sure we can get off. Looks awful. A video recommended TSP. He. Ought a medium cut compound and it looks a little better, but you can still see the streaks. TSP has citric acid in it. So it’s an acid burn. I’m so upset. I sent a message to the video maker. He of course laid it, off on the maker, of the sealer brand he was touting. He didn’t actually use TSP to clean his roof. So, just be careful what you use. We’re gonna keep at it, but ….who knows. May need to be wet sanded. Hope not. Good luck.
How long did the finish last? I’ve done all of that multiple times and it last for a few months.
We have a 2013 Winnebago travel trailer it’s cherry red, every year I’ve got wet sand and buff then polish then apply wax. I’ll try this meguiars hopefully it works
I also have a cherry red Winnebago, which I bought used and faded… so it’s actually more of a pink 😅
@@NicholeOlive nice campers except all the work to keep it looking good, 3M makes a better product than meguiars I think
Thanks for the video. I read in one of the comments you can clean the pad? Did you do that, how do you do it and how pads did you end up using for your rv? Mine is only 23.5 ft class c. Thanks again!
I spent a couple days completing this project and washed the pad out and let it dry between days. Someone else had commented about a way to clean the pad while buffing. I did not try that, but I'm sure it would help because the pads did load up with compound.
great video, Personally I wouldn't go past about 1/2 speed on the buffer. You don't want to create too much heat. Just keep the buffer moving and pace yourself. 👍
Great video topic. Questions, How old is your RV, and is this the 1st time you've polished it? Do you use the same process on the front cap, with bugs? Bug removal can be it's own video I think. Thanks for the links.
John, my cougar is a 2015 and this is the first time. You are correct about bugs being its own topic. I actually filmed a video showing what I use for bugs, just haven't edited and posted it yet.
Thanks,
Jason
Thanks brother.
I hope I can find this cleaner in a store tomorrow.
I just washed the RV tonight and would love to finally wax it.
No problem. Good luck I had to order it online.
You should have a spur to clean your wool pad. Tape whatever your do not want compound on.
WOW!!!!!!! I have a keystone Laredo, sister to your trailer. It's needing this as of this summer. How long has the shine lasted after polishing it?
It lasted about a year and needed polished again.
I tried this on the front of my camper and now in the sun I can see all these swirl marks. I used a wool pad and buffer. Do I need to apply a wax to get this out now?
Great video, I watched several times. Just got the One Step No. 67 in the mail today. I am still up in the air about the wool pad. Looking at the one that you mentioned I noticed a lot of complaints about hair and wool fibers coming off of the pad. Did you noticed this or have the same problem If so is there anything that will solve the issue. Again thank you for taking the time to do this video, the best video out there on oxidation removal. Cheers
Thank you. I did notice some wool fibers, but they wipe off easily with a clean towel after you are done buffing.
@@WeekendRVAdventures Thankyou
That pad will work like new again if you clean it. It's all gummed up. Try a spur tool.
What did you use to polish the metal that’s on the bottom all the way around?
I just put a coat of wax on the bottom part
great video, i too have an oxidized rv, got it shining and the sun took it back to the oxidized state in a month, what has been your experience with it staying nice in the sun after all this great work? thanks
I found that you really need to keep up with waxing a 2x a year or I tested a ceramic coating that seems to be lasting longer. Without any follow-up it will go back.
good to hear the waxing is lasting, makes me really want to try again, i think i should have tried a synthetic wax and/or done a better job to remove the oil from the polish as oxidation was back in under 2 months (az sun). thanks a bunch :)
Thanks tho...good advice .
The only thing that would speed up the process is keeping that wool pad clean. Use compressed air or a spur to keep the pad clean. Keeping a buffing pad clean is essential to efficient and proper application.
Jon,
I have an 2018 Outback 330 RL travel trailer. I've used the Mequires RV wax but i don't know what to use on the trim around the slides. It's the 3' wide flat plastic molding around the slides. It seems like it is sold black plastic and it is faded and uneven in color. I'm not sure what it is made of and i don't know how to care for it. Any recommendations? Thanks.
I've had good luck with a product called "back to black" but it's primarily for rubber parts. Faded plastic parts might never come back...
Thanks for your informative video Jason. I am inspired! I used to polish cars in the olden days so this is going to be a fun project! Picked up my HFT polisher today and about to order the polish and pads. I have one question for you regarding the 7" wool pads, have you been able to buy those without the backing pad? Since the HFT buffer already has a backing pad, I thought I would save some money. Thanks again Jason!
I did. I think I got them at O'Riley Auto.
Good luck
Did you get to use this method for your RV? How did it work? Any pictures?
I did try this technique on our trailer. Labor intensive and it really didn't restore the side wall of my trailer to it's original shine. My Cougar's sidewalls have the pigment made into the fiberglass (except for the cap, which is automotive paint).
A mild cutting compound cannot actually cut the old color effectively in my opinion. So I am simply having the sidewalls waxed as best as I can. I estimate it will take 2 applications of wax annually to keep a decent shine. Don't think it will ever get back to original. It still looks good!
Great video! Thank you. You found how aggressive you have to be with fiberglass, gelcoats etc. to cut through heavy oxidation.
One suggestion...clean out your pads after every section. Or, have a BUNCH of clean pads and switch out to a fresh pad often. Pads load up quickly with dead paint and compound product which lessens the effectiveness. I'd have maybe 20 pads to do an RV or 5-7 pads with frequent cleanups.
Excellent results you got, my friend. Be proud, very proud.
One su
Thanks!
So glad i watched this. I just noticed oxidation or fading on my 2018. Didn't seem as noticeable when i bought it in January. But definitely showed up after cleaning my rubber roof. I had already purchased a harbor freight 6" palm polisher to apply ceremic wax to the camper. So i hope to use it on the front cap with the meguiar's one step compund. If i listened correctly, you recommend using a wool applicator?
Good luck, and yes 100% wool worked the best for me.
@@WeekendRVAdventures so i got my meguiar's one step compund and gave it a try using a 6" palm polisher on my front cap. It worked great, but im definitely upgrading to a a bigger polisher like you were using. I think a second pass using that will really bring out the shine. Then I'll apply some meguiar's ceremic wax.
Sounds like a good plan, the smaller buffer I tried just wasn't enough either.
HI. looking good update on how is the one step meguiars holding up is it still shines
It held up for a while, but needed a good coat of wax the next season.
I too have a 7' Polisher/Sander ... do you have a link to the Wool Pad and the Buffing Pad that you use?
I think this is the one I used
