Oxidation of roof

Yahoo Message Number: 95463
I have an 06 Inspire 360. The white roof is oxidized and every time it rains I get white streaks down the sides. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Is there a good product out there to apply? Thanks. Mac

A good scrub and a coat of Aerospace 303 will last for a while 3 to 6 months depending on the amount of time it spends in the sun.

Tammy,

I have solved the problem of the streaking . I will send you all the information. The information is on my other computer. But I assure you the problem will be solved for at least two years at a time

I solved mine, painted the roof. Professional spray job using flexible paint colour matching the off white/cream outline used on the side graphics. Just under the equivalent of $1000. Now its only dust or dirt that come down in the rain, but easy clean the roof on a regular basis with hose and brush.

I have only recently been getting some white streaks from the roof. I decided try the Zep floor polish since so many folks have used it successfully to brighten faded gelcoat. I washed the roof and put on three coats of Zep High Traffic Floor Polish. It looks really great and others have said it will last up to 2 years.

A lot of folks use MopnGlo. Lasts about 6 months. Scrub roof, apply , let it dry.

Used Buskote on ours. It has worked great and has held up for four years.

Hi Tom,

Did you use the 1220 Bond-it first? Did you use the Flexi-clear coat over the bus kote? Thanks.

Can you say "Bus Kote?" I had Kevin Waite do that nearly a year ago and there has been none, nada, zilkch, niente, nil, etc., streaking since (and the coach is stored outdoors). Highly recommended.

Yes Mac, I used all 3, as recommended by the manufacturer. Our roof looks as good today as 4 years ago. I am going to treat the rolled edge of our roof this year and take the Buskote over the side to the roof seam. That is a very ugly part of the roof and can be seen from below.

I completely agree with Mac. I very carefully power washed my roof, and allowed to completely dry. The following day I had my son roll on the Buskote over the entire roof and the roof over the edge. I waited one more day and gave the roof a second coat ------- white streaks gone. We have a 2005 Inspire like Tom. We are not full timers but will take extended three months trips. I got tired of the shower plastic doom roof acting as a heater in warm weather. I called the Buskote manufacture and asked if the paint would damage the plastic, the answer was no. I therefore painted one coat of the Buskote over the plastic. I still have sufficient light coming in but the Green House Effect of generating a heater was over. The temp in the coach has decreased by 10-15 degrees. The other plus by using Buskote is I think it has acted as an acoustic barrier from some of the outside noises. I give it one coat every two or three years.

I hope my validation of Toms method has been of help.

I too have done the Zep treatment on roof 1 yr. ago, 3 coats, and it stopped the gelcoat powder. Will probably do 1 or 2 more coats soon and thinking about doing on side of coach where clear coat has peeled. Jim Veen, '96 36 ft. Intrigue # 10299.

Jim,

You say Zep treatment. I have searched Zep and could not find any of this product. Can you post what product from Zep you used? Do you have a fiberglass roof or rubber?

I recoated my roof with a product from Sherwin-Williams called Sher-Cryl HPA. Easy to apply water cleanup, it's been two years now and it still looks great. I get NO white streaks.

I clean the roof first then apply a coating of Mop & Glow. Usually holds up for about 6 months. Solves the problems of white streaks running down the sides of your bus. Good luck.

Jock, ZEP product is ZEP - high-traffic floor finish, Found at home depot and lowe's. Used ½ of a 1 gal container, Grandson applied 3 coats{ DW said stay off of roof}. He used a soft applicator on 36 ft coach. All Intrigues are fiberglass roofs, very happy with results. Jim Veen 36 ft. Intrigue, ' 96, # 10299.

Hi Stan, I'm ready to order Bus-kote. Based on your experience, how much will I need of each of the 3 products for a 40' Inspire 360? Thanks.

No Stan, I never received any info on quantity needed. The company gives a range of coverage per gal. but I was wondering what your experience was with your rig. Thanks
