What wax for Gelcoat?
Not for my corvette, but for my Motorhome.
Its fiberglass with a white gelcoat. No paint. Just gelcoat.
I am having problems keeping the roof shinny. Thanks..
The brand of motorhome is Born Free. Thanks.

I am not a expert on motorhomes however I would think that you would want to machine polish your gelcoat for shine and then use a sealant for protection. Our Paint sealant can be applied with a machine polisher which makes a lot faster, since you have a large area.

Thanks for input.
Here's a pic of MH.
The gelcoat on the roof seems to oxidize in the sun.
Just not shinny. Kinda a matt finish.
Oxidation does not come off in my hand when I rub across it.
I have been using 303 on the roof, with some luck.
On the sidewalls I have no trouble keeping the shine, just the roof.
Do you think a paint sealant will work on Gelcoat? Thanks
Or I will try Wax. I have tried various waxes with no luck.

Sealant will work better than wax for that. Wax has a lower melting point.
