Five years ago we camped in our RV next to a gorgeous motorhome. Its occupants were full time RVers so their rig got a lot of sun --the exterior of their fiberglass unit was shinny with no cracks or aging. The owner told us he uses Fukken wax on it -a tip he got from a trucker.

You spray on, wait just a minute or two and wipe down. Easy, easy application. It contains a UV protectorant too and can be used on chrome, glass, plastic Etc.

We put it on our RV once a year and on all our vehicles too. It costs about $16 plus shipping. One (or maybe part of a second can) should do my greenhouse panels. Lightbulb just came on today - an experiment so maybe the HF panels will last much longer.

Find it at www.fukkenwax.com. Made in the USA

The concept sounds, well err, sound. I use 2001 UV proctectant on my pool liner above the water line annually and get twice the use from it. The guy I buy my liners from said not to tell anyone or he would be out of business Hilarious! . I also use it on my hot tub cover and have extended it's life as well. My panels (4 years old ) show aging and will need replaced, but it definitely will be kept in mind for replacements. I plan to go to a GH supply in Lancaster to buy my replacements and want to use a triple wall polycarbonate at the very least.

Fukken Wax has heptane in it - a hydrocarbon which should NOT be used on polycarbonate.
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.

Ok. So @Eric4home, where do I find 2001. Is it as easy to apply as fukken wax?

Didn't realize that problem with Fukken. Good thing I have not done it yet!

You should be able to find 2001 about anywhere that sells car products. It comes in a spray bottle like Armor All.
