Default What wax to use?

Was wondering what type of wax would be best for my HI Lo. Want to get her cleaned up and waxed for the season.

We use a boat wax for fiberglass boats. Boat wax cuts the oxidation nicely.

I perfer 3M products, I find that they are more options from a marine supply company. There are many grades which depends on the condition of the fiberglass. I would use a polish followed by a wax on the fiberglass (because of the oxidation on my trailer) and cleaner/wax on the alumium (so you don't strip the paint)

Attached is a scan of the original exterior side-wall maintenance pamphlet that came with our 2704T. I don't know how many years Hi-Lo used this material, but it sure looks the same as that used on their last trailers. So if you have a newer Hi-Lo, and are seeking the OEM's official maintenance recommendations, here is the scoop. Jim
