I've had good luck with rubbing/polishing compound on my 2003 glass-
top Cobra. Three years ago I spent a weekend doing this by hand - not
a good use of time. Last year I purchased an electric polisher which
cut the job to 90 minutes or so - looks great. To keep it shiny I
added a "lean-to" shade tarp next to my garage to park the trailer
under. Seems to keep it pretty shiny for a season or two. I haven't
tried any waxes except whatever comes in Turtle Wax car wash. It
seems that there are waxes with UV protection formulated in to prevent
fading. I'm guessing the high-dose sunshine in Arizona will eat
through even that.
