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?

Well I certainly do not dispute your experience. I suppose the SoCal sun did it in, but I have not seen any of these issues.
My RV is white with black and gray decals. They was not been any yellowing or darkening. I have an area under the overhang that I did not treat for comparison. I did have that issue with McGuires RV wax. The wax gave the RV a slightly dark and blotchy appearance.
I have had no signs of problems with flaking or peeling or damage to graphics. If I do encounter any of these issues, I can easily strip off the ZEP. Ammonia works well and I also bought ZEP stripper. I used the stripper to remove the finish and dried on bugs from the nose of the RV. Otherwise the rest of the RV sheds dirt and water and shines like new.
I wonder if there is a difference between the Red Max which is no longer made and ZEP. I used ZEP a year ago and did spend several months in the desert southwest. Perhaps time will change my opinion but for now all looks good.
