Hi All,
I know you saw Byon Songer's post about the results some have had using
ZEP wet look floor wax on their motorhomes. Background: I was in the USN
stationed on the first ship that ZEP introduced this product on for test
purposes. Lord knows how often (weekly) tile decks on ships have to be
stripped, rinsed, waxed and buffed. We followed their strict proceedures
and the difference was phenomenol. After thorough stripping and
cleaning,three light coats of that stuff was applied. 30 minutes min
between coats. The decks looked like they had a layer of water on them and
no amount of traffic seemed to scuff the stuff. The weekly ritual of
stripping, rinsing etc was reduced to damp mopping, and burnishing with a
brush buffer attachment. The stuff was bullet proof and probably saved the
USN millions in cleaning supplies and time.
Do not use it on the sides of your motorhome! Period! It is made for
horizontal surfaces only. It is incredible for the roof though but you
must clean it thoroughly and apply the coats very thinly. The stuff has a
leveling agent in it. Any runs will either have to be sanded off or
stripped off with very heavy duty stripper so the rule is, apply sparingly
and with a very clean terry cloth towel (big wash cloth). Three
applications and you will never have to do this again. It is excellent for
those surfaces that have the anti-chip coating, or rough painted coating
like the front and rear bumpers on some SOBs. (Yes, those are the only
verticle surfaces it works on.) Use it on the sides and you will regret it.
