I wonder if you really did a good enough job for the prep work if the rv had been waxed. Now after saying this I also had flaking but 3 years later. I removed the RMP and applied poli glo. Same look as the RMP but a lot more money. Waxing 2 to 3 times each year was never easy as you understand getting older. Same here. I finally learned the best method for me to remove the RMP after removing it from the side that really flaked off during the winter.

Larry you say you removed the RMP, what did you use? I have tried using the ZEP RMP Stripper in the Blue jug and it takes forever and never seems to really remove everything.
I hope I never said it was easy. I used the same stripper as you but reading the instructions it was clear it was for a flat surface. the problem I had was it dried so fast the rmp would harden again. I doubled the amount of product and used a dobie like pad to do about a 4x4 ft area. The side I started on was over 50% off before I started so I was thinking it would be easy. So I decided to switch sides because it was in the shade all morning. The real trick is to have a cool surface and the weather worked great for this. I used the stripper full strength and the same dobie size pad. The rmp was really getting soft and I blasted it with water and then moved on doing the same. What didn't come off after doing this several times would show so I would then spot them and instantly that was now a yellow spot and easy to see and remove. I even at times used a plastic putty knife to shape of off the pile up in the beginning.
After it was clear what was needed I went back to finish the other side. I waited for the afternoon for shade to let the surface cool. Cool is the key so more time to let the stripper do it's thing.
