A few years back, we applied a water based acrylic product (name forgotten) to our 92 Warrier, Toy-Rig. It was beautiful, veryshiny. Unfortunately since then, the product has worn off resulting in unsightly spots. Using a lot of elbow grease, Vim and a rough sponge, gradually we have managed to get one side looking almost good. Does anyone have a better idea how to get  panels on good shape, without all this repeated work?

Here we are most fond of ZEP Wax, Does that ring a bell?  Its in a blue gallon jug.

I am in the middle of doing my Toy with ZEP.  There is some confusion on products,  use to be something with red in the name??   May have been similar to ZEP or even made by ZEP.  ZEP does market a remover and some claim that ammonia will clean it off..

Some claim that cleaning and reapplying ZEP  will be enough.

But it is the internet so do some Googling before you commit to anything.

Hey T check out my post “The Magic of Zep” and see why we love Zep here. The surface must be stripped of any old wax and be extremely clean before applying! Good Luck!

Might have been ZEP.  Dont recall, but its left a real mess.  Have one side cleaned off, but another side with days of eork left. For a guy slmost eighty, it aint easy!

The product we most often recommend for cleaning RV's before we use Zep is Bar keepers friend. Looks like Dutch cleanser or white Comet but very fine and will not scratch the surface. It might help get that other stuff off a little easier. Just rinse well when done

If it is a water based acrylic, Barkeepers Friend is not going to work well,  try  ZEP  heavy duty floor stripper.  

  Buy the remover and try it in a hidden place and see what happens.
