Sun Faded TT - how to Restore/wax?

[jkvary]

The front of our hybrid gets a lot of sun at our storage lot and after five years it is starting to look faded and dull. Is there a product I can use to bring back the finish or is it too late?

You don't say what year your rv is. By the statement "after five years" puts it around 2012. If you do a search here for faded front cap you'll find a lot. Jayco had the front if my 2013 Eagle repainted after warranty expired, as they have for many. Catch is that you have to be original owner.

It's a 2012 Jayfeather 19h and we are the original owners. I don't think it's a manufacturing issue, it just gets too much sun. You can see the fiberglass fibers through the paint now and it's very dull. I'm just looking for product recommendations. Would a marine fiberglass cleaner/wax work?

That would work You may want to try some polishing compound on a small area then follow it with a good wax You will also need plenty of elbow grease You may also find you will have to do this a few times during the year

Our Eagle is a 2012 with a fiberglass cap and I use this 3M Marine Color/Gloss Restorer 500 mL twice a year and it does a great job. I follow that up with a coating of Protectall wax with UV inhibitors.

I used these with the red "cutting" applicator pad. It works well but the directions need to be followed closely and you may need to apply twice (I did).
