If you have the time and desire to spend a full day waxing and polishing, then I am sure you will find alternative products. I am nowhere near retirement and just use an RV for weekend enjoyment. I have no interest in 10 hour cleaning projects. Someday I am sure I will have more time. Until then using 'floor wax' is fine with me. I am now into year 2 using Zep Wet Look wax. Next spring I plan to reapply for the first time. My initial application took about 60 minutes for 3 coats. The overall improvement was amazing - and still is. When people comment 'You must spend hours shining' I tell them what I did and even show them the streaks, drips and missed spots. Invariably I hear 'Who cares. Where do I get some?'.
If you ask a floor wax specialist about RV usage, of course they will say no. Why would they know?
Some will say 'the is no UV protection' to which I respond 'Who cares? It lasts 2 years.' (Aside: I know that no ingredient in a clear finish that's 2 microns thick can last more than a few hours. Only opaque masking offers long term UV protection - look it up).
If any of this disturbs you, please don't use Zep floor wax. As mentioned before, if Zep finds out, they will raise the price.
