I am hoping an additional coat or two may give some improvement.
Here’s the method I discovered on-line from other users
1) Wash and dry area
2) With a “Mr Clean buffing sponge (Walmart has a cheaper Great Value brand) scrub down the area. Use the sponge dry, not wet.
3) It will slightly dull the surface area, don’t worry
4) With a spray bottle ($1 at Walmart or Dollar Tree), fill the ZEP Floor Polish into bottle
5) Micro Fibre cloths work best. Spray polish onto the Micro Fibre

Then wipe and shine, let dry...wipe and shine.
I put 3-4 coats on it

If your rig sits in the sun 24/7, you’ll need to re-apply more often (4-6 months)
If the shine flakes a bit from the sun, use the MrClean sponge
Then wipe & shine

If you want to use the spray bottle again suggest you pour remains back into gallon container then wash out bottle thoroughly with water, especially the spray head as it gets clogged once it drys

I’m really happy with the results. I even put some on the stripes & it seems to help.
