New owner of 2015 182G.
The shine of the roof's surface isn't as bright as the rest of the pod's surface. Is there a preferred restorative wax/process?
Thanks in advance for all input on DOs and DON'Ts.

We have a 2016 (172) and have used Maguires car polish.  After several applications it has helped a good bit.  Enjoy the pod!

I would use a clay bar to totally clean the surface before applying any wax.  We do this yearly on our 2011  177.  After the clay bar we use MeGuiar's Ultimate liquid wax in the black bottle.  After 9 years of ownership our 177 still looks almost brand new with a great looking finish.

Ditto the Meguiars; never tried the clay bar.
