The Lippert doors seem to have oxidized more than the wall gelcoat on our 2017 Reflection 307MKS. In this before picture of the entry door, you can see the stairs handle (normally hinged over the door) left a nice shiny shadow compared to the rest of the door being a more flat finish.
Don't know about other products, but have to say I am pretty pleased with Meguiar's for removing oxidation.
Here is the door after applying Meguiars Ultimate Compound with an orbital polisher. Back to something close to the original shine!
(The darker part at the door handle and above is just the reflection of the awning shading it that you couldn't see in the before picture.)
You can see how oxidized the other Lippert doors were on this partially complete one and the gas tank door which isn't done yet.
I used Meguiar's 67 One Step Compound on the slam doors and found that it did not provide quite as much shine, but is a little easier to apply. It's maybe hard to see in the pictures, but the entry door is shinier than the other doors. The 67 provided a shine that was closer to the remaining shine on the gelcoat whereas the Ultimate Compound, with some work, gave a shine closer to original. There is some technique to using either product, like you have to wipe off the Ultimate Compound quickly before it hazes dry, whereas the 67 you apply until it is nearly dry and then wipe. I can't imagine doing either without the power polisher.
The entry door looks so good, I think I'm going to need to polish up the rest of the rig to match, but I don't have time to do it before our next trip. That's where the less shiny finish of the 67 came in handy because it is closer to the gloss of the gelcoat in its current (somewhat dirty) form.
Cheers!
