I put the repaint document from Sikkens in the file folder for the group. It's a zip file. Has lots of info on automotive repaint and the different products they make. Steve

Does anyone have comments on another product sold by Camping World called "Gel-Gloss Heavy Duty Exterior RV Cleaner & Wax with Carnauba"? I've used other Gel-Gloss products and thought that this might be usable on the roof. It's touted as made for other than the roof but is supposed to contain UV protection.
Thoughts, anyone?

Yahoo Message Number: 8598 (http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/Country-Coach-Owners/conversations/messages/8598)I would think that anything with wax would be a slip hazard. That is likely the reason they exclude roofs. I have not used the 303. Weat Marine carries the products. Steve I am very interested in what you find in its components. I am always leary of snake-oil sales and using something that could damage the finish. I am getting ready to have my roof pressure-washed again this weekend and would like to find a process and product that would help slow down the chaulking. Any suggestions?

uote] Dick, Jim:
Slippage should not be a factor, if the roof is dry. I've spent a lot of time examining metal building roofs, which are at an angle, the only time I won't get on one is when it is wet. As for the 303, in one of the prrevious messages it was called ORGANOMODIFIED POLYMERIC EMULSION". Usually, polymeric emulsion, is considered a vehicle for house paints. A clear resin used in acrylic latex, as an example. ocganomodified could be anything. Silicone, UV absorbers, etc. Hey, even Johnson floor wax is a polymeric emulsion. The trick is which one.
Big thing is, it will protect the substrate. A good wax will protect the substrate. An ounce of prevention, in this case, could save thousands of dollars in repairs.
At some time in the near future, I'll analyze 303, just for curiosity. Steve
