It's not a wax, it's an acrylic coating. The spray bottle and microfiber
cloth works very well. Mix according to the internet instructions, and
spray enough on the cloth for it to be fairly damp. Start somewhere and
make about 4 trips around the coach. If you have time, you can do it all
at one time. With 70 degree temps, it should be dry enough for the next
coat by the time you get back to the starting point. Don't forget the
gloves, you don't need it on your hands. And wash the heck out of your
coach, first. TSP and all that stuff, if you've waxed it in the last year
or two. If you decide, later, that you're going to paint your coach, use
the ZEP stripper.
RED MAX PRO was ZEP, specially packaged and priced for LOWES, and is no
longer available.
If anybody is really interested, and you can't find the RV applications
online, send me an email ( rallymaster@juno.com ) next week, sometime.
I'm at the GMC rally in Coos Bay, and I don't have all my info with me.

We put Zep Red Max Pro on a fiberglas travel trailer & the finish was amazing. It was dull, chalky & afterwards it looked like it was brand new. It is the same finish as Poliglow that has been used for boats but is much more expensive. You have to put it on in thin coats about 4 but after the first one it gets easier. Wring out you microfiber cloth or sponge so it is just damp & wearing gloves. We didn't use the spray bottle (didn't know about it). Be very aware of any drips or runs & wipe immediately. You can't slop it on. We, also, did the vertical sides with no problem.

The first coat maybe streaked. Don't be alarmed.

Maintenance -they say once a year you should go over it with a thin coat or redo every few years. Ours was on for 3 years sitting in the southern sun & still looked great. In one afternoon it shined like it had just been painted. We were amazed.

Since Zep Red Max Pro that was at Lowe's is not available, I believe Zep Wet Look is at Home Depot.
This has been well documented on other sites. You can do a search on www.fiberglass.com for "Zep Red Max Pro" for more info.
