Turned out nice Eric, too bad you could't film it in the sun for everybody to see. Lots of people ask me how long it lasts.... I usually put on just 1 coat per year to keep it looking great. Some people put it on their painted metal surfaces but personally I wouldn't do it unless it was in very bad shape and had nothing to lose- and then only light colors. This is 3 RV's I've used it on and couldn't be happier with the results.
Campervan Kevin .. This might be a negligible difference in things, but it seems that a good shine could actually help reflect some heat. Since you are a long time user of this, have you noticed anything in that aspect?
I did it too on a '00 highly oxidized motorhome. I did about 8 coats but it looks AMAZING! I wondered if I needed to recoat (add a layer) every year or if I needed to strip the entire thing and redo?
@@salinemichigan904 I had seen no reason not to just apply 1 coat every year. Sometimes I cleaned the rv with too harsh a chemical and lost some of the coats... so the one coat per year worked great for me and I found it to be enough
Great job! Eric your channel, along with 'Prepper' Wayne and Kevin, sure help teach others lots about maintenance and repair. You have apologized at times for the 'down time' to take care of things with your RV, but honestly no apologies necessary cause you are teaching us what the realities of nomadic life is really like. Taking the good along with the bad, that's just part of living. Thank goodness for good friends who help us along in the bumpy times! Thanks Eric and Kevin!
Thanks for video Eric. My wife now tells me I have a project for the upcoming months in Florida. I was hoping for a paint job😁, but noooo. The rig looks great.
Thanks Eric, for the hint about the floor wax. Another "secret" with Zep products from Home Depot is the Acidic Toilet Bowl Cleaner is it will remove the yellow from the fiberglass. We use it on boats all the time and customers think we use magic to get them so clean and white. Unfortunately you would have needed to do this before the wax coating. :( But in time if the wax will wear off you might have a chance to try it out.
I Zepped my rig about a year ago and it looked amazing for the entire year! (or so I thought) About 6 months ago, even though my rig still had a shine, I noticed a few small areas that would not come clean. Fast forward to a couple weeks ago... I was removing and replacing all of the old decals, and it then became blatantly obvious how much dirt had become embedded in the Zep. I couldn't tell until I removed the old decals, but the entire Zep wax job had become dingy and embedded with dirt. Some areas were worse than others, but the entire rig was affected. My only option was to strip the entire thing with the Zep floor stripper and do it the 'right way'. It took me three days to get it all off, then compound and wax it properly. It now looks better than it ever did by doing it 'the right way'! There's always a trade off, when taking the 'easy way', but I'd rather take one day a year and do it right than to go through all that headache again! I will NEVER Zep my rig again!!!
Just watced this video and you answered the first question that came to my mind. Longevity and potential repurcussions of this. Sorry you had to be a guinea pig 😕
Yep I wounderd what the long term would be they were asked earlier in the comments and didn't respond so I kept reading and found your reply. I knew on floors you eventually had to strip them Sorry you were the one that had to find it out, we have a 38' travel trailer and it's a beast to wash let alone wax but appreciate the post
WOW! What a wonderful difference! You are so lucky to have such a good, knowledgeable, helpful friend as Kevin. Makes a job like that go by so much faster and turns work into an enjoyable time spent with a buddy.
It's great to have those kind of friends- Kevin,Felix and RV Prepper Wayne! I am in search of a motorhomes mechanic to install a fuel pump. It's really hard!
Plastic is not listed as being ok to use on the bottle.... But it also does not say fiberglass is ok, and as you can see, many people us it on their RV. So, I'm not sure. It didn't hurt anything to apply to the window seals on my attempt. But I can't promise it's "OK"
Hey Eric, that is what i used on my motor home, after the first coat i thought what the hell did i do?? The first coat did not look good, then i just continued working my way around the RV like i was on a race track (left turns only) and after about a case of beer and 5 coats I was done. It came out nice!! But never again would I apply it in real hot weather. Great stuff!! Your RV looks great. :)
I used it a couple of years on my 24'hybrid shamrock. 6 coats and it looked great. Washed it first with tsp to prep it. Can't wait to get some coats on my new fiver. Thanks for sharing a great product with your fans.
Some times you say the funniest stuff without even realizing it Eric, "It's the next day here...." LOL! isn't it always the next day? unless it is the day before which could then be considered yesterday which then turns today into tomorrow which still is just another day gone by. Anyway it's still the same day here and I'm glad to see you in such a good mood and the RV looks Great!! You and Jax take care!!! (No matter what day it is. LOL!!!)
Beautiful! Eric, you have inspired me! When my youngest graduates high school and gets his first year of college in (in about six years) I'm selling everything and heading out in an RV. Great tips. Great videos. Glad that I found your videos here on TH-cam.
It would have been nice if Tioga would have paint matched the camper part with the cab of the van. It does look 100% better now with that nice shine. You guys did a great job Eric! I was just curious if you had ever thought about remodeling the interior of your camper and if you had how would you change the layout inside? With all your experience having RV's I'm sure you would have some great ideas. Be safe out there my friend and thanks for any comments you might give.
Star bright makes a fiberglass restorer with ptef. Then follow with a ptef marine polish. Much better results than floor wax. Good on you for shining up the rig!
Looks nice! I'm going to do that to mine. Thanks for the tip. I went around and replaced all the old rusted screws with #10 stainless screws of various lengths. Made a huge differance.
"Don't go puttin' none of that stuff on my sled, Clark. You know that metal plate in my head.... I had to get it replaced with a piece of plastic. Everytime Catherine revved up the microwave, I'd piss in my pants and forget who I was for a half-hour."
Looks really nice ! My husband loves everything clean and has tried lots of products. He said to tell you to try putting Simple Green in a plastic sprayer (from walmart) Once it is sprayed on the RV, try a pole brush to wash the RV. Then wash it off with water. This would save you time over using the tiny little scrubber. Hope this helps !
OH MY GOD. I looked at the rv forums for an idea of what to use for wax on the side of my rv. I used the ZEP shiny, heavy duty floor wax. 3 coats on the side of my truck camper. A little streaky, but ok, and was so shiny. 3 years later, trying to remove the original ZEP wax was like taking barnacles off the USS Constitution with a plastic knife. The ZEP remover is good, but the mixing suggestion was totally inadequate on a vertical surface. Went over once, and the bucket water was black. Ok, but when it dried it looked awful with wax residue the first scrub loosened. Got another gallon, went 1:1, with HOT water. Took 2 more scrubbing with a wand brush with plastic bristles. Rinsed about every 10 or so sq. feet, to minimize anything left. Water was still black, not as bad. So the original brush bucket black was the wax being rinsed off. Anyway, the wax is actually pretty good, but getting it off is like trying to get your 25 year old out of the cellar. This product is VERY GOOD, but you will need to do multiple scrubbing. Pity the person who puts 7-8 coats on their rv like a couple of YT videos advise.
Looks great guys, but with anything, it keeps better with what you wash it with. Do NOT wash it ever again with liquid dish detergent, that with just strip off all the wax you put on. Go buy car wash soap (Turtle Wax, Rain Dance, etc.) that way the soap will not strip off all the wax and your hard work. Keep up the great work with the videos. Someday I hope to be out on the road traveling around like you are doing.
That looks like it works darn good. I take my camper through the BLUE BEACON truck washes, and they have some spray for that it works great. I would imagine any truck wash would have it, I just mention them due to my experience over the years as a trucker.
Looks great Eric. I use a 50/50 percent bleach and water solution in a pump up sprayer and spray it on my rvs to get the black water stains and tree sap and streaks off.You can just watch the years of grime and stain start running off a light rubbing is all that is required for the most stubborn stains. It strips the wax but has never hurt my clear coat or even the sticker style striping. Then applied the zep and looks great. Just my experience.
So how did you apply the wax to the RV? Did you spray it on the wipe to even it out or did you dunk the towel in a container of wax and bring it out. You didn't say a word about the process which is fairly important. Looks good. Please edit the video with an addon that tells or shows how you got the wax onto the RV Thanks!
Hi Erik- You are just 4 hours away from Guntersville Lake, Ala, -with excellent bass and crappie fishing. There is also a colorful local character with a youtube channel, to get the best tips from. It looks to have some very good camping and boon docking spots, with woods and lake. Just a thought.
A few things were not added here. Do you wipe on, let it dry (like wax) then wipe it off? Do you apply it like wax and do circles? Or, just wipe the product onto the RV s shell?
Personally I would have tried a fine fibreglass cutting compound first to get rid of the yellowing followed by a boat wax and would recommend not using sandpaper on it as a scraper blade would remove the excess silicone above that grill. Looks a lot shinier though and will probably help to stop it getting so dirty and ensure that the water flows off better.
Ps It great without the trolls! :) What are they going to do with there time now they can not piss people off? We had better start looking under bridges again. Te he he ;)
Looks really good. Our camper looks pretty good but I think I will invest in a jug to keep it that way. I was concerned about the long term results but CVK has shone it holds up and is easy to re-apply.
Wow, looks great! I love the fast-forward shots of the work, it reminds me of a pit stop in a car race! Now the bugs will slide right off! I wonder, does the product have UV protection in it? If not, maybe one of the layers could be a UV protectant, if it's compatible.
#206 WOW! Looking Good Fella! You and Kevin plus muscle power has made Yoda looking Marvelous! Thanks for the video and the old girl, now looks great! Anchor Away!
I've used that floor wax a few times on my 2008 5th wheel and like the results. The only problem is you may get only a year or two out of it before it will need to be done again. And there lies the problem, when it needs a do over its a real pain in the butt to get all the old wax off. You will spend days trying to get the old yellowed wax off, which is a must before a re-coat. It does look great though:-) Ron w.
sometimes to use something you normally wouldnt to do other to clean or make something shine like you did is awsome i use to use johnson's floor wax on the outside of my van and let me tell you it would shine like there was no tomorrow
looks great Eric, i have tried to get ZEP here in the U.K but its not available only imported from the U.S but the postage cost is around $50 so i'm gonna look for something equivalent, yours looks fantastic.thanks for the video.
Eric, your lucky to have a good buddy and friend like Kevin. He's a stand up dude! The ride looks awesome, and thanks for sharing the knowledge. BUY Kevin a big ass steak dinner for all that help! Great video, "W.W."
First time I used this. During the night it rained. what I saw in the morning was a milky colored residue had formed and ran down the side of the RV. As the surface dried in the morning, the residue disappeared and the shine returned. What gives?
I bottle of Zep = Like new RV! Good to know. Thanks for the tip. Let us know when you need to do a touch up. I would love to know how long this lasts. Crossing my fingers it's only once a year.
WOULD be like a floor waxing . The shine will only last for a little while. Thanks, I was going to clear coat mine (aerosol cans ) $$$.. you say, Your Shine for almost a year. I'm good with that. God bless you all
Your RV was just Oxidized,should of got some cut and buffed it then add a coat of wax,It would of brought back the shine plus brought back the original White color like the cab.Cut would of removed all the grease and grime at the same time as well,just a heads up for next time brother,love what you do.
As much as I have disliked Zep products over the years I guess I will have to give it a try . On my class B , I only have the roof to do . I imagine the front of cabover and front of body behind doors will be much easier to clean . When I had my class C , if I remember correctly it was 90% bugs . It is amazing how bug splatter is like a two part epoxy after baking in the sun .
Wow you guys got that RV looking great. You'll be slipping right through the wind now lol. How bout some mud flaps behind the front tires? Good product. Good video.

Campervan Kevin ..
This might be a negligible difference in things, but it seems that a good shine could actually help reflect some heat. Since you are a long time user of this, have you noticed anything in that aspect?
Any idea if this would be OK to apply to an RV with full body paint (black & brown primary colors)?
I did it too on a '00 highly oxidized motorhome. I did about 8 coats but it looks AMAZING! I wondered if I needed to recoat (add a layer) every year or if I needed to strip the entire thing and redo?

Hello..how to use zep? What’s the water to zep ratio? Got marks from a tarp on my rv😬😬thank you
Hi..zep only? Or water mixed with zep? Please let me know thank you😀
Don't use that floor wax it's a temp thing that will ruin it faster in the long run it will turn orange

Big improvement "Thanks" too you and Kevin that will help when I get my RV I doubt i'll be able to afford a new one
WOW! What a wonderful difference! You are so lucky to have such a good, knowledgeable, helpful friend as Kevin. Makes a job like that go by so much faster and turns work into an enjoyable time spent with a buddy.
how did this hold up? now that you've had a few years. do you still recommend zep floor polish on the exterior?
Yoda looks awesome! I've been putting ZEP on my camper (2006 Keystone Outback) for the last 2 years, you would never know she was 11 yrs old!
Hi..do you use zep with water? What’s the ratio? Thank you 😊
Would not have attemped a project like this without a friend like Kevin. Final product looks awesome!
Really cleaning up now! Dingy sidewalls are a common problem with rv's. Nice to see a solution to restore and renew. Nice job.
Campervan Kevin is definitely the best friend an RVer can have. You're a lucky man, Eric ! !
It's great to have those kind of friends- Kevin,Felix and RV Prepper Wayne! I am in search of a motorhomes mechanic to install a fuel pump. It's really hard!
Wife wants t know if you put Zep on the Black around the windows also. It does look Fabulous
Plastic is not listed as being ok to use on the bottle.... But it also does not say fiberglass is ok, and as you can see, many people us it on their RV. So, I'm not sure. It didn't hurt anything to apply to the window seals on my attempt. But I can't promise it's "OK"

It came out nice!! But never again would I apply it in real hot weather. Great stuff!! Your RV looks great. :)
Next time, Eric, grab a sponge mop (like for a kitchen) and a paint roller pan. You'll be able to apply easily and avoid having to climb the ladder.
it looks great now eric
I used it a couple of years on my 24'hybrid shamrock. 6 coats and it looked great. Washed it first with tsp to prep it. Can't wait to get some coats on my new fiver. Thanks for sharing a great product with your fans.
Man, that looks incredible! Maybe even shinier than a new RV. 🤘
That is due to oxidization. Any cleaner will get the powder off your surface. Zep is not actually my favorite. I use soft scrub without bleach.
Some times you say the funniest stuff without even realizing it Eric, "It's the next day here...." LOL! isn't it always the next day? unless it is the day before which could then be considered yesterday which then turns today into tomorrow which still is just another day gone by. Anyway it's still the same day here and I'm glad to see you in such a good mood and the RV looks Great!! You and Jax take care!!! (No matter what day it is. LOL!!!)
Eric, pick up some Armour All...wipe over the rear view mirrors and and rubber parts to get them glossy too (unless the matt look is desired). :-)
Beautiful! Eric, you have inspired me! When my youngest graduates high school and gets his first year of college in (in about six years) I'm selling everything and heading out in an RV. Great tips. Great videos. Glad that I found your videos here on TH-cam.
I am thinking the UV is what killed the gloss on the fiberglass.
Absolutely incredible difference! And CVK (Kevin), great guy!! Thumbs up x1000 for this video.
I'm impressed! We have a 2012 Class C 28' Four Winds and I believe I will be giving this a whirl in the next few days. Thanks for the tip!
It would have been nice if Tioga would have paint matched the camper part with the cab of the van. It does look 100% better now with that nice shine. You guys did a great job Eric!

I did that to are old travel trailer and it lasted for 2 years! And also help allot with bug clean up on the front.
2 years! That's good!
Huge improvement, even reflective in the sun. Looks great.
Wow! Looks great. You can definitely see the difference it made.
Star bright makes a fiberglass restorer with ptef. Then follow with a ptef marine polish. Much better results than floor wax. Good on you for shining up the rig!
MAN OH MAN!!! That worked great!
Shined her right up!
Looks nice! I'm going to do that to mine. Thanks for the tip. I went around and replaced all the old rusted screws with #10 stainless screws of various lengths. Made a huge differance.
Is that the Clark W Griswold "new non-caloric silicon-based kitchen lubricant"?
"Later Dudes... "
Kevin didn't even need the ladder.
Haha! Love it! Second favorite Christmas move!
"Don't go puttin' none of that stuff on my sled, Clark. You know that metal plate in my head.... I had to get it replaced with a piece of plastic. Everytime Catherine revved up the microwave, I'd piss in my pants and forget who I was for a half-hour."

A back pack sprayer could be an idea also.
Looks great! Your arms and Kevin's must be feeling it!
RV looks great. I will have to say you and Kevin are very fast workers and you have the video to prove it. lol
Looking grrrrrrrrrreat! Made a huge difference in the appearance of your RV. Lucky to have a buddy like Kevin!
Nice job. I love that stuff, made my 1993 RV look great. And best part is that even after a year with rain snow etc it still looks great.

Looks great. Will be easier to wash now. Wonder if it would help keep solar panels clean?
Gotta Love that Kevin! He's a hard working friend. ♡ And your rv looks showroom new! You're gonna need shades on a sunny day. ♡
Looks great guys, but with anything, it keeps better with what you wash it with. Do NOT wash it ever again with liquid dish detergent, that with just strip off all the wax you put on. Go buy car wash soap (Turtle Wax, Rain Dance, etc.) that way the soap will not strip off all the wax and your hard work.
Keep up the great work with the videos. Someday I hope to be out on the road traveling around like you are doing.
I hadn't thought about that, that's good advice!
You forgot the back side of the mirrors. Hard plastic painted. Use zep on that.
I'll have to try that! thanks.
So wonderful you guys helping each other!yoda looks great!
Good job. You owe Kevin, Eric....again! Looks great guys.
Wow, what a difference. Looks great Eric!
That looks like it works darn good. I take my camper through the BLUE BEACON truck washes, and they have some spray for that it works great. I would imagine any truck wash would have it, I just mention them due to my experience over the years as a trucker.
Looks great Eric. I use a 50/50 percent bleach and water solution in a pump up sprayer and spray it on my rvs to get the black water stains and tree sap and streaks off.You can just watch the years of grime and stain start running off a light rubbing is all that is required for the most stubborn stains.

So how did you apply the wax to the RV? Did you spray it on the wipe to even it out or did you dunk the towel in a container of wax and bring it out. You didn't say a word about the process which is fairly important.
Looks good.
Please edit the video with an addon that tells or shows how you got the wax onto the RV
Thanks!
10:20 need to get on that and fix the side wall fast as the cab overs go bad fast from water getting in
What a great looking finish...looks like a new RV Eric,,good job..
Yoda is looking great!! We love watching all the new "home improvements" you make.
Looks awesome, great job Eric and CVK!!!
Hi Erik- You are just 4 hours away from Guntersville Lake, Ala, -with excellent bass and crappie fishing. There is also a colorful local character with a youtube channel, to get the best tips from. It looks to have some very good camping and boon docking spots, with woods and lake. Just a thought.
How long did the gloss or shine last?
Your RV looks like it just came off the showroom floor. Awesome what a little ZEP will do.
Wow, your RV looks terrific Eric and now Jax won't be embarrassed to ride in it:-)
FIRST! Big Ups to CamperVan Kevin. Yoda looks great. Rock rock Rockette! haha.
Kevin is a good man and a good friend, and they're hard to find. It really looks great Eric and Kevin!
WOW!!! That looks awesome Eric!! Great job that you Campervan Kevin for helping Eric!
Hey Eric, Yoda is lookin strong in the force!!! Nice job.
Nice Improvement I will use that stuff!!
looks beautiful like a new RV good job
A few things were not added here. Do you wipe on, let it dry (like wax) then wipe it off? Do you apply it like wax and do circles? Or, just wipe the product onto the RV s shell?

A good looking RV means authorities less likely to bust your chops when boon docking. Nice job, guys.
That looks amazing, Eric. Good job. It's so nice to have friends like Kevin.
Ps It great without the trolls! :) What are they going to do with there time now they can not piss people off? We had better start looking under bridges again. Te he he ;)
yep I bet that protects the white paint from yellowing too
Looks really good. Our camper looks pretty good but I think I will invest in a jug to keep it that way. I was concerned about the long term results but CVK has shone it holds up and is easy to re-apply.
Question. Did you just take the rag , dip the rag in the wax solution and just whipe the camper down with the wax?
Wow, looks great! I love the fast-forward shots of the work, it reminds me of a pit stop in a car race!
Now the bugs will slide right off!
I wonder, does the product have UV protection in it? If not, maybe one of the layers could be a UV protectant, if it's compatible.

Great job, looks brand new!
How has the shine held up over time?
sometimes to use something you normally wouldnt to do other to clean or make something shine like you did is awsome i use to use johnson's floor wax on the outside of my van and let me tell you it would shine like there was no tomorrow
looks great Eric, i have tried to get ZEP here in the U.K but its not available only imported from the U.S but the postage cost is around $50 so i'm gonna look for something equivalent, yours looks fantastic.thanks for the video.
Looks nice... might also help with airconditioning in the summer
Next time use sponge mop applicator vertical strokes way less labor
Looks great. You could have touched up the scratched blue areas a bit with a blue sharpie before you waxed though but great job. Well done.
How long will it last?
We shall see together.
Nomadic Fanatic can this be used on a car?
@@nomadicfanatic any update on how long the Zep lasted?
How long did it last before it had to be stripped and redone?
Eric, your lucky to have a good buddy and friend like Kevin. He's a stand up dude! The ride looks awesome, and thanks for sharing the knowledge. BUY Kevin a big ass steak dinner for all that help! Great video, "W.W."

Looks awesome! Never would’ve thought to use floor wax on an RV. Great tip. Thanks for sharing Eric.
ZEP (natural citrus) Degreaser (Orange bottle) is also phenomenal... been using it for years!
WOULD be like a floor waxing . The shine will only last for a little while. Thanks, I was going to clear coat mine
(aerosol cans ) $$$.. you say, Your Shine for almost a year. I'm good with that. God bless you all
Your RV was just Oxidized,should of got some cut and buffed it then add a coat of wax,It would of brought back the shine plus brought back the original White color like the cab.Cut would of removed all the grease and grime at the same time as well,just a heads up for next time brother,love what you do.
I have looked into this also. Might just do it this spring. Nice video and nice job!
Looks great! Thanks for the tip!
As much as I have disliked Zep products over the years I guess I will have to give it a try . On my class B , I only have the roof to do . I imagine the front of cabover and front of body behind doors will be much easier to clean . When I had my class C , if I remember correctly it was 90% bugs . It is amazing how bug splatter is like a two part epoxy after baking in the sun .
That stuff worked GREAT! Y'all did a lot of work, but it's beautiful!
Wow you guys got that RV looking great. You'll be slipping right through the wind now lol. How bout some mud flaps behind the front tires? Good product. Good video.
How does it look now ? Any color change ?
