Previous MH was a 2000 Georgie Boy Dp. At about 10 years, I used the ZEP high traffic wax and really had good results for the next 5 years. As the articles indicate, preparation is everything. The only area I had any peeling of the wax was above the windshield on the front cap. This area was very hard to reach and clean properly. After 2 yrs it needed to be redone and I spent a lot more time on prep. No more problems. Initial application took 5 coats before getting a high gloss, no streak result. But a coat only takes about 20-30 minutes and the area where you start is dry by the time you get back to it. (Don't let it run) Then, A good wash and a single re-coat after a year brings back the full shine.
I have not used it on my present Siesta, It still has a good finish. The front cap over the bunk had started to oxidize but I just buffed it out this week with very good results. Orbital buffer and Star Brite One Step Heavy Duty Cleaner Wax with PTEF for boats. It is for gelcoat.
