What will remove ZEP polish from RV sides?

Here is the Zep/Red Max Pro Application Process.

It will tell you how to remove all old wax.

It did a nice job on our 1996 Southwind.

I have the same question. I used Zep last year. While the results were good at that time, my fiberglass cap has continued to fade and turn colors. It looks as bad as ever and I would like to bring it in and have it painted. How do i get the stuff off so the paint will stick??

Any cleaner with ammonia should remove Redmax Pro/ZEP WetLook from the surface of the RV...

Zep makes a remover ... ammonia should also work but you might have to use multiple washes.

Ammonia did not work for me on the red max pro. the stripper from Zep will do the job but not as it shows because it id for a flat surface and it is hard to tip the fifth over. Joke of course. I learned to use the stripper straight and wet the surface and apply using a Dobie product with some grit. Do small area's and you will learn as I learned from doing it. the product will get yellow and this is telling you it is coming off. It will take several attempts. I used a plastic putty knife at times. It is a learning project. when I had what I thought was good I blasted that area with water. Probably will take several attempts for getting it off. Also working on a cool day and not in the sun was a big help.

Knowing all this, now I think I'm sorry I tried it.

Poli-Glow also makes a cleaner that should take that off.

Don't bother removing it. The shop will be sanding the whole area down and priming it before painting.

BTW, you're going to love the new painted cap. Had mine done two years ago and it's gorgeous, durable and stays shiny. I wax it occasionally so the bugs come off easier but he new finish (two part epoxy paint) is tough as nails.

And the price to do that was how much $$$?

When you wax a 2001 35 ft fifthwheel 2 to 3 times a year it soon becomes a job so everything I have done has been easier that waxing. 3 years of not having to wax was awesome to me.
