Wax on top of Zep?

Question

OK there's plenty of "how to" on restoring a fiberglass finish with Zep Wet Look Floor Finish. I tried it on my TT and it looks GREAT!!
I was just wondering if a little wax on top of that might work even better? Seems a good time to use the already slick finish to make it slicker. Anyone ever try it? And what did you use. I don't suppose the wax would soften the Zep?

The problem with applying wax over top of ZEP is that it would be a royal pain to remove the wax in a year or so when it is time to apply another coat or two of ZEP. I would not recommend it ....

Good point. Hadn't thought of that.

I tried wax in a spot 2 years ago and it did not stay on very long.  I just keep adding another coat or 2 every spring.  It still looks great, no yellowing or graying in this Texas sun..

I would say to each their own on this one. Having said that, I applied RMP on the front and rear of my motorhome and keep a good coat of wax on top of it. To me it keeps the RMP sealed and I am hoping that it will provide UV protection and in return delay the yellowing and aging of the RMP. Wax goes on and off easy. It may not do anything for the long term protection of the RMP but it makes me feel good! I have had the RMP on the motorhome for quite a while and so far I have not re applied and it still looks great.
