OK - I've gone on the WWW and reading all that is out there on the tiny cracks that occur in the dark paint of many Motor Homes.
My Question is - Has anyone found a Wax/Polymer, that does not turn white so you see the little cracks in the light?
I've cleaned - buffed - played with - this a lot and if I could just find a way to make it shinny with out the cracks getting "white" i honestly think I might not really notice them.
I mean seriously these things are what I'll call 2' er's - step back to 4 feet you never see them but step up close and search they are everywhere.
I'm sure someone on the forum has a secret cure.
TIA,
Cure for me was simple (Not really) First Meguiars Ultimate Compound Because I had used Wax based products the wax stuck in the paint cracks and was highly visible - say 4-8 feet
The Issue;

This was driving me Nuts - so after getting suggestions from the forum what I notice was the common theme was non waxed based products. So I put a little Compound on the Cyclo polisher, removing the wax and slightly leveling the paint, and got this,
The Side By Side;

Pretty good and actually looked great at 2 feet. Biggest issue is these are BIG AREAs to work on and to do the entire Coach will likely take a MONTH.
End Result;

Looks almost NEW - the biggest issue is will I SURVIVE. In 6+ hours I was able to do about 1/2 of one side. Cleaned - Compounded - Nu Finished and then wiped off with Meguiars Ultimate Quick Detailer (I have ordered probably Three gallons of the others that were recommended, but they have not been delivered yet)
So the big Question Is - Am I the ONLY ONE who is this crazy when it comes to how my Coach Looks?????????
Thanks to all who were able to give me suggestions - I now have an Arsenal of product that I can at least polish the furniture with.
This might help others who, in doing the spring cleaning discovered that their Coach needed a little (LOT) extra care (WORK).
Thanks,
