Toon-Brite clear coat

I have an older Class A from the late 80s with corrugated fiberglass siding. I recently applied another coat of Toon-Brite to protect the fiberglass and make the motorhome semi-gloss in appearance. This chemical works great and lasts about 2 years or so in sunny, dry climates like mine. On smooth surfaces a sprayer should be used to avoid runs, I used a 3" foam rubber brush.

    Interesting. Does it yellow at all in the sun, the way that RedMaxPro does?
  • No, it doesn't yellow at all, and I live where the sun can get really intense. No cracking, either.
  • I have used Both Red Max Pro and ZEP wet look on my Rig. Neither have yellowed . I also used the same products on a boat .they worked wonderfully on the Hull sides but peeled off on the BowDeck.I attributed that to the extremely bright Sunshine we were getting In the weeks following the application.

    Years ago I used Poly Glow on another rig which worked about the same.

    Interesting. I used the Red Max Pro on my last rig (in fact, I wrote a pretty detailed how-to on it that many have referred to). Mine definitely yellowed, although it wasn't too noticeable since my rig was tan. Ended up peeling/flaking on the sides that were exposed to the sun. Lots of bright sun/heat here in SoCal.
