I have a 06 Sea Breeze and I have one side where the sun hits most of the time with a little haze on the gelcoat When I use my Nu Finish on the good side no problems but on the side with the little bit of haze it just wont clean up well New Finish says it is a polish but I think I need something that will get that haze off first it's just a little haze on the surface, any ideas!

Try ProtectAll Oxidation Remover and Color Restorer. If that does not work it may need to be buffed out using a mild polishing paste, but take care not to damage the decals.

Maybe use a clay bar to get the oxidation off then apply your Nu Finish.

I have a 94 Georgie Boy and have some experience with auto paint. My coach had a ton of oxidation and tried a couple of things like Mothers,Mcguires polishes. Well they didn't work. I used 3M fine polish,about $35 a bottle,make sure it's for light colors,and applied it with a waxing pad in a circular motion. Next take some soapy water in a spray bottle and spray that over the polish.If you don't have a buffer,do a small area at a time,and polish the gelcoat. I used a buffer at 1800rpm and got almost a mirror finish. Way better than factory. Be careful not to apply any wax or polish in direct sunlite. It needs to be cool. Use Mcguires Quik Detail after your polish and man what a difference. Took me,an ol' cripple,,3 days,but never thought it would look so good. I hope this will help. Let me know if you have problems.

noleakman....I had the same issue on a Class "C". The non sun side always looked good and was easy to polish. Everytime I would do the sun damaged side it was difficult to apply the wax and then get it off. Once the oxidation begins it will keep coming back.
My solution was to spray the area I was waxing with Pledge and then apply the wax. The Pledge made it the wax easier to apply and when I wiped off the dried wax the finish was even looking.
