Have you tried Gel Gloss??? I really like it for the Fiberglass on our Eagle Cap 950. It seems to really hold up well. But always open try any possibly better product.

Hey Towpro, Looks good for a 2014. We should have met that day. Little hectic there and weather was so..so. All the best with your new TC! [emoticon]

I will look into gel gloss. Open for anything that will make TC shine more. Thanks.

I don't know that it will shine more, but it will shine. I usually use Gel Gloss. Every once and a while I try something else, but keep coming back to Gel Gloss. I is avalable from many sources. Very easy to apply and remove. After washing the TC, I use a foam type mop with a rag on it. I mop the wax on as you do with most liquid wax. Here's the good part, after it dries, I wrap a terry cloth on my mop and wipe off the dry film. No need to polish and buff. With the mop I don't need a ladder, unless I do the roof.

My TC is a 1988 Bigfoot.

Thanks for info Wayne. Will try that method and Gel Gloss. Sounds like it will much easier Than buffing.

Purchased a new multi-power (600/1200/1500 watts) electric heater for the camper. The old one I had ran on 2 settings 750/1500 watts. The old heater on low would keep the camper at around 58-60. The new unit on low setting is keeping the camper about 6-8 degrees warmer. I like it so far.

I believe this is the same unit sold by West Marine. I got this at Amazon Link

Tizi, that's the one I've had for 10+ years. Of course, it's not used all of the time, but it still works well.
