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...

Nice job on the Tioga luvpups! Thanks for the pics--you can see that characteristic shine and it does look great clean. Now it will be easier to clean after camping trips too!
I think the consensus has been that the BKF is such a gentle abrasive that it is not likely to harm the graphics more than a strong detergent. I had read not to use any abrasive on graphics but not until after I did and mine bled (see page 1 pics) but then they didn't bleed when I put on the RMP which has happened for others. Some just use a new cloth after the first coat too.
The RMP seems to be a better protectant than anything I have put on the graphics before, and that includes 303. They are basically covered in a thin layer of acrylic and as long as that acrylic does not degrade, then it appears that the graphics underneath are not degrading either. No additional bleeding or peeling since I put on the RMP. I did trim the peeling edges with a flat razor before I applied the RMP so that they didn't stick up through the new finish.

First, when using the BKF, do you also apply it over the decals? Seems they would also have some stains that would be nice to get out. My concern is the lack of protectant in the RMP, as opposed to Poli Glow. Will a protectant such as 303 adhere to the RMP?
