Front Cap Fading
I was wondering if the fading of the front cap on my 2011 5th wheel could be fixed by using rubbing compound to bring back the color then coating it with a liquid floor wax. I forget the name of it. OR would it start to flake off?

- Here's a link to the Red Max Pro process. RMP is no longer available, ZEP #3 is the same product.
Use the process to remove the oxidation. If you don't want to use floor wax, use the wax of your choice.
The prep is the important part of the process.
I use ZEP #3 on our 96 Southwind. It does a nice job. SidecarFlip wrote:
if you stored the RV inside it would never be an issue. Outside (in the weather) storage is not only hard on the paint, it's hard on the seals ans caulk too.
I keep mine inside unless I'm using it. I realize not everyone can do that but a cover when not in use is a good alternative as well.
ADCO makes some nice ones.
Sadily this was stored in a fully enclosed building. It is in the dark all the time except when we take it out to go camping. It was a manufacturing defect that the company weaseled out of repairing when it was new. It is a Heartland Big country.- if you stored the RV inside it would never be an issue.
