Great story glad it worked out! What type of pad did you use on your
buffer? I don't have pitch to dig through thank God!

Another thing I noticed is that the hull below the rub rail, which is
partially colored, does not seem to have much of a problem at all.
Perhaps it's because the rail is the widest part of the beam and the
hull slopes inward from that point giving it a overhang of sorts?

17 clams a bottle is a good price to get back a nice finish and if it
works on a 40+ yr old hull then I'm sold and I agree doing an entire
motorhome would be an all summer project!

I think it's called a compounding pad... It resembles thick, fluffy shag
carpeting. I spread the product around by hand, to keep from "slinging" it
with the wheel, then dug it in with the buffer. I thought for sure I'd have
to come back with a clean, polishing pad... not so. Even with the sticky
residue from the compound/wax on the pad, it buffed out beautifully, with
light pressure, at a higher speed.

Exactly. It's not directly facing the elements.

Actually, I've hired two different guys to cut/wax the glass siding on my
RV, for $350 and $400. Neither one showed up to do the job. They either
found an easier job, or they already had enough drinking money. I guess
I'll have to take it to a "real" shop and pay $500.

I'm old school.... used to do rub out and wax by hand, in two separate
processes. I never thought a one-step product would do a good job. I stand
corrected.

Good luck,

Thanks for all the information I'll have her looking new in no time.
