I did re-read your post although I read it right the first time. Here is a reminder to you.

Meguires is an excellent wax and all I would ever use on my '57 Ford. But for a 14 year old dull MH, the Red Max (now Zep) process is the only thing left to give showroom results. Mine is on now for 3 years and I've had to redo the front cap twice (I;m pretty agressive on the bugs) and the entry door once (poor preparation on first attempt).
Suggest you do a search for Red Max Pro on this forum and decide. The only people who poo poo it is the people who haven't tried it.
I would not use it on a full bodied RV. Common sense should prevail.

READ CLOSLY: I said that I would not use the Red Max Pro process on a full bodied paint. Common sense should prevail. Common sense was directed to that previous sentence, not to any other part of any other thread that you would like to direct it to.
For goodness sake, get real, get glasses so you can read, have someone explain the big words to you

Boy, you really got me on that one. :B
Now, read your first post CLOSELY and SLOWLY. You will see that you left off the word PAINT. Had you included that word, your next sentence about common sense could have been tied to it. Without the word PAINT to tie the two sentences together, your common sense statement meant to me that if someone did not use ZEP they had no common sense.
You also stated in your second sentence that ZEP was the ONLY thing left to give a showroom results, which is not true, and when coupled with your common sense closing sentence, your entire post took on a whole new meaning.
The previous posts of the many people that have tried ZEP, and were less than thrilled with the results, unfortunately believed all of the hype.
The sanding, or compounding method to remove oxidation on a fiberglass gel coach may not be the easiest to do but it is safer than a floor finish that may or may not peel, may or may not turn yellow, and may or may not soften/dissolve the gel coat.
Why some people continue to push an interior floor finish, for people to use on their valuable RV's, when there have been many documented problems, is beyond me.

I really don't know what put this burr under your saddle. My original post was straight forward and was made with the experience(s) I had and suggested other to do a search for further information. It absolutely didn't even elude to other solutions that others have used to get a desirable result. Your taking a lot of time to do a search and cherry pick only the 10% of negative results didn't do the other 90% of positive results justice. Your choosing to make this very personal and it really is only an alternate method to achieve a nice shine on a neglected MH. Its is not the only way..there are dozens of other ways to achieve the same results.
With that, lets just go ahead and say that your process is the only process that can be used and those that those to follow that process will be happy ever after. I think the subscribers to this thread are smart enough to make up their own minds as to which process they will chose and probably be happy with any process they use. Lighten up.
