How to remove ZEP Floor Sealer

I did our alpenlite 4 years ago with the red max pro after doing a extended job to removed any wax that I applied since 2001. The front and back cap are still good but after the sides started to flake off as we hit the road for the winter one year ago I removed the red max and applied poli glo. I used the zep stripper. Not an easy job but you learn what doesn't work very quickly like cool days with no sun, do small areas and look and look in different times of the days or early evening to see the small areas that need more work.

The stripper was made for a flat surface to sit not run off.

I decided waxing sucks and happy with what I have done for a 14 year old awesome fifthwheel.

I have been using Zep in my boat, and after a couple of years it starts to yellow. The Zep stripper works pretty good ......

I have the same problem. It just didn't hold up and now it looks worse than when I started. I want to strip it off and have it painted. This is the only real solution. I have already had the front cap done and should have done the rear cap at the same time. No more "Band Aids" for me...

According to the manufacturer, ZEP floor wax was never intended for outdoor use. I suggest you remove it all and apply an appropriate cleaner-wax disigned to do what you set out to do in the first place.

Had the same problem after 2 years.

Cleaned the area, reapplied, and still looking good after several months.

I considered stripping, but was concerned about the impact of the stripper on the fiberglass.

Now, when it starts coming off, just wash and apply. Still easier than wax on wax off.

The label on your Zep product should tell what to use to remove it.

Or, you can call Zep directly in the Atlanta area. They were in Cartersville until their factory burned earlier this year. Their offices are still there, however.

Zep's also online.

ZEP makes a stripper which should get it off. I would suggest that instead of removing it, that if you have removed the crystalized layer, you simply apply a fresh coat of the ZEP.

I previously applied 4-5 coats of mop and glo to the end caps of my MH and it looked great, along with the storage doors. After a year and bit it started to look weathered. I took some ammonia and tried to remove the stuff, and a) it took a long time, b) was a lot of work.

Well, a few weeks ago I decided to get the MH looking good, so I washed it, bleached it, did the Barkeepers Friend where needed, and then spent two days re-applying Mop & Glo to the end caps and this time to the entire unit. The areas where it was applied before looked good after just a couple of coats, the new sections took the normal 4-5. The next day it rained, all was good, but I didn't like the way the water ran off the unit. So I went over the mh with one of the many spray on / wipe off detailing sprays with UV protection and now all is right.

Just like wax on floors or normal car wax you have to reapply from time to time.

Most floor waxes will come up with good old liquid ammonia.

And this is the reason I have been hesitant to use an indoor floor wax on my RV.

Lowe's has specific strippers for that stuff.
