- billyray50Explorer*** UPDATE 11 months later***
After 11 months after cleaning old TC with TSP, bar keepers friend, and applying 4 coats of Zep floor polish. The shine is not to bad but definitely not like last June. Think I am going to wash it with TSP again and apply a couple more coats. The only complaint I have had is when it rained either driving or camping the Zep floor polish residue would drip spots from cab over onto my trucks windshield. Bad enough to obstruct your view and the only thing that works is a magic eraser to remove it from windshield. Still spotting the windshield still as of last weeks rain. Believe me I tried a lot of cleaners and magic erasers won hands down. Could be because the TCs cab over paint on aluminum siding has worn away and faded. Maybe 4 coats was to much? Will have magic erasers at hand for sure. - brireneExplorer

Imo, if yours still looks good with washing and waxing, I would keep doing that. When I bought my trailer used it was already pretty oxidized, and I couldn't seem to get any wax to maintain a nice shine. At that point I tried the Zep (red max pro) treatment, and have been very happy with it, and it looks much better than I was able to achieve with waxing. - mockturtleExplorer IIYeah, I was going to say, I might pay someone to do that but I'm not sure I want to do my MH myself.

- brireneExplorerLooks great! You should be good to go for several years. Refresher coat very occasionally. I haven't touched mine, other than washing, for 3 years. I will need to do a coat or 2 this year.
- cewillisExplorerThat really looks sharp. Good work. How much do you charge?
- billyray50Explorer:(Appreciate it. But celebrating 10 th year of chronic neck pain. Might be another surgery docs said but trying to avoid it if possible .
- gboppExplorerNice job. I'm a fan of ZEP/RMP.
Thanks for sharing. I hope your neck recovers. - billyray50ExplorerShine under cabover!! Real pleased with this product and method especially on older TCs.

- billyray50ExplorerNext I applied 4 coats in the next 2 days with a paint brush pan and a few microfiber cloths. Just dampen cloths and ring out lightly. Then apply real easy one area at a time. Watch for runs and wipe them again. This was easier physically and dry time was quick between coats in North Dallas weather. What a difference and shine. Looks much newer to DW and I. I am glad I did this. Members who have done this say it has lasted for multiple years.


- gpascazioExplorerI just did the same thing to my 2010 Eagle cap 1160. It now looks brand new, I just hope it lasts a long while. This was a very long procedure in took me almost three days to get it all done.
