Well, that post was about the oxidation/fading at the nose cone....
When the coach was in for the warranty work, they did do something.... I think they said the buffed it, but I'm not certain what they did. It did look better for a while. I think it's just one of those things with a darker colored gelcoat, it requires regular maintenance.

As time has progressed, the side walls have started to oxidize a bit too. A few months ago I tried buffing them out with an inexpensive buffer and some polishing compound. I wasn't able to really do a great job with it. Followed with a spray on product called Protectall.

I suspect this, or something like it is what the dealers use. Easy to apply, and looks ok for a while, but it's not the same as a good old wax.
