Shiny RV with Red Max Pro (pics)
How many of you use this stuff? We were getting that chalky finish with faded and peeling graphics. I was waxing it with Meguiars--trying to avoid the graphics and spray them with 303 Protectant inste...

Thanks, Bill. It looks better than it has ever looked since I've owned it (the exterior was pretty weathered even when I bought it 10 years ago). You all might notice a difference in color in the before/after shots; some of that is due to the difference in sunlight (Saturday mid-morning vs Sunday late afternoon), but some is real. The whole motorhome, rather than a chalky light tan color is now a slightly darker beige, and the whole thing actually looks wet! Even the window frames are no longer discolored and oxidized; they look new. From what I've read, washing the surface using a common car wash soap shouldn't harm the Red Max at all; not sure about whether wax is needed or not.
I was really impressed with how easy it went on. The best way to describe it is like "using a damp rag to wipe a layer of dust off the surface".
The very first coat, I got a significant amount of color "bleed" on the white rags when I got to the lower stripes. But with the second coat, I got absolutely none; the white rag stayed completely white. That tells me that the first coat had already sealed the surface. If the weather is nice, I'll probably go ahead with a 4th coat this next weekend, just for an extra layer of protection.
BTW, no problems at all on the metal painted cab. It, too, looks like new!
