ZEP wet look...need UV protection?
I am doing the ZEP wet look treatment on our old class C...I doubt it has any UV protection in it, and wondering if it is needed. If so, what do you guys use?

Someone wrote there is no free ride with RV maintenance. I think Zep comes pretty close. I used Zep on my RV a year ago. Cleaning the RV took some work and time, but 4 coats of Zep went on pretty quickly and was not much work.
A year later, most of the RV looked like I had just waxed it. I did have to clean on lots of bug splatter and dirt off the nose of the RV. I ended up stripping the Zep off with wax stripper and reapplying 4 fresh coats to the nose area. I gave the rest of the RV another coat even though it did not seem to need it. Even with the stripping and work on the front end the entire job was easier than waxing the truck. I may end up using Zep on the truck as well.
BTW, no sign of yellowing after a year exposed to sun and elements. I also did not have those nasty black streaks due to water running off the roof. There was another benefit. In addition to a year of weather, I drove 10k miles through bad weather, dust and lots of bugs. Typically I would wash the RV several times. I never washed it all year and the Zep helped keep it clean. This Spring it quickly washed clean except for some remaining bug splatters.
I would say that Zep is pretty close to a free ride.
