just bought van with full ensuite. My plan is to polish the one piece plastic shower cubicle
with
Turtle Wax. Is that advisable? or should i use something else to make it easier to keep clean? Any thoughts

If its acrylic, you can use Brasso for a very glossy finish but you better spot
test in an inconspicuous area. You can use Brasso on gelcoat if its fibreglass also.
Turtle wax has no cutting power if thats needed but you could use it after for a clean beading affect. But of course, be careful. Michael

If the paint of fibreglass gel coat is in good condition, I agree wiping down the shower after use is good to keep perfect, have one of the softer spray cleaners in there.
A quick spray and wipe with soft cloth and rinse by the last person having a shower that day.
Don't use those microfibre cloths or blocks, they will dull it and make it hard to clean (ok on glass, not acrylic or fibreglass.
If the paint is in poor cond, then consider getting it professionally 2 pack spray painted.
It will last a decade + if looked after the same as above.

I have
turtle waxed the walls of our last 2 vans shower cubicle and it lasts about 6 months. The water beads and runs straight down, made better if you use the shower gel as suggested, even better if you use the squeegee as
well. It's certainly preferable to not doing anything and makes cleaning a lot easier.
