Post subject:  Fibreglass pole treatment?

I've a couple retractable, 20ft Nato fibreglass poles that i did have for sale, but having used them over the weekend with an end fed (may thanks Rab, MM0RMR....exceeded my expectations :thumbsup: ), I've decided to keep them.
They're looking shabby and could use some kind of treatment applying, but what do i use?
Any suggestions?

Many thanks!

exposure to uv makes fibreglass go flakey and causes irritation to your skin if touched, I usually use a can of spray paint to cover them and give them a coat once a year to block out the uv.
