Agreed, I am 100% certain it may work; just like I am 100% certain that Mop & Glo or similar household products on the Roof or RV may make it shine.

So did you stop your plan to Wax your RV? If your RV is properly waxed the black streaks will come off with a regular wash. If it doesn't; use the same Meguiars Pure RV / Marine Wax #56 or Meguiars #83 and it comes off just as easy and it leaves a nice wax coating in the area that you need in the event some more black streaking comes from the roof.

Think about, if you not gonna keep your rubber roof cleaned every other month or so; the black streaks will always occur and you will eventually be spraying all types of house cleaners / solvents on what may remain of your precious gel coat And then poor misunderstood TMC get blamed because a customer complain about the finish not lasting long, not you; but just saying because somebody may read and understand what I am trying to say

Only thing that touches my gel coat (Gel RV Wash & Wax, Meguiars #56, & Meguiars #83) When/if I see a black streak, it comes off with simple wash or wipe of the cleaner wax.

Thanks for all the advice. I'm not gonna do the cover route. I'm ordering the pink wash and wax and a foamer. There is a very reasonable detailer close to me so I'm going to bring it there first. Just to polish up the front and put a coat of wax. For some reason, the front is duller than the back. Maybe just the direction it was stored faced the sun. Then I'll maintain it myself with the pink stuff. I'm gonna cut up some Seaboard for under the tires and sew up some covers for the wheels.
Has anyone used the pink stuff on their cars? I'm hoping it will work on my cars and boats.
I don't want to change the original subject but... Is it ok to keep the Axis plugged in all the time? I would think yes but have to ask.
Thanks again everyone! I can't wait to take this thing on a trip.

Pink stuff works great on cars. Also use the same protectall from Amazon on car. We keep ours plugged into 30 amp all the time. Just run generator and start engine once on a while. Add Walmart gas treatment to a full tank of gas for winter good luck
