Couple of questions on exterior maintenance

Hello Guys, I have a couple of issues I could use some help with. First, a few years ago I did the exterior restoration process using the ZEP floor coating. Unfortunately I haven't re-applied it like I should and now it looks terrible and I need to redo it from scratch.
After doing an exhaustive search on here I've been unable to find the thread that told how to do this. Can anyone point me in the right direction to find that procedure? My second problem is my roof. The white coating is flaking off now to the point that my roof is primarily gray. I'd like to find a coating product I can use to restore this and delay having to replace the roof. I found something at Home Depot called Tropic something that sounded good but I thought I'd check on here where the experts are. Any recommendations on a good roof coating? Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
  • Do not know about ZAP, but try this site and see if it is what you are looking for link it worked for me for a partial repair and I will use it in the spring for the whole roof.
  • Here is the ZEP/Red Max process for the exterior.

    I used Heng's Rubber Roof Coating on our 96 Southwind.
    Just clean well before applying. NO PRIMER is needed with the Heng's.
    It goes on like paint and does a good job. It's been over a year of sun, wind, snow and ice. The Heng's is holding up very well.
  • Thanks guys. That's exactly what I needed. This forum is the best. Within 1 hour of posting I had what I needed. I hope I can return the favor someday. Thanks again.

    I'm sure you will. Pay-it-forward, would be nice if more people would follow that rule.
    Life is so much easier when people help one another. :C
  • Try epdmcoatings.com Your roof is epdm so you have to be careful what you put on it or it can melt the rubber.
  • Gbopp, just bought Hengs, it’s good to hear your positive view and will apply next week.
  • Can't help you with the ZEP but I re-did my roof when it looked a lot like yours and posted about it, with pictures, here. Be sure to read all the way to the end of the thread for all the updates.
