While the MH is dirty after driving in rain in NM yesterday we headed east on I-20 late today. While the sun was not directly behind the MH it was hitting the side wall at an angle that let the sunlight reflect off of the side and into my rear view mirror.

Before using Red Max Pro we never had this problem.

No complaints allowed about how shiny your rig is. LOL LOL. It does come out looking good doesn't it. Just don't use it on the linoleum floors in the MH. It gets really slippery and dangerous.

Ernest actually it is a non slip floor finish as a factory rep pointed out to me so we used it on the MH floor and and it is NOT as slick as before but very shiny.

It is amazing how much road film will come off with just a high pressure rinse at the car wash.

Too shiney? That's a complaint I can live with.
I was at a Lowes a few days ago, they had the Red Max products but, were sold out of #3. I guess it's getting really popular.

I was at Mystic Lake Casino's Dakotah Meadows RV Park and after having driven from CA to the Black Hills to Sas,Cnd to Minnisota the front of the MoHo was covered with bugs. They have a coin operated wash building and I decided to wash the rig and towed. I used the soap brush and it really cleaned the front end and the rear end but is smelled really strong and removed all the oxidation from the windshield gasket without rubbing. The problem is the soap took some of the RMP3 off as well as the bug guts. there are ares where the finish looks like it did after applying one or two coats of the RMP. Also splashed a little E10 gas on the rear bumper and it left a spot. I'm in Elkhart for a couple of days and will look for a Lowes and buy another gallon if available and touch up the caps and bumper. We still love the look of the rig and hope to keep using it.

Hi All.

Just some information for you about Red Max Pro #3 and the rest of the Red Max Pro Products. According to the Manager at the Lowes closest to where we live, in another city. Red Max Pro Produts is going "NS" Which means "Not Stocked" any longer. Red Max Pro Products was made just for Lowes only. The store Manager told me that Lowes was dropping this Product, due to lack of sales across the USA. I told him that Lowes was making a big mistake. As it has become a very popular item for RV'ers and is in big demaned now. I was lucky, as I had bought the last Gallon of Red Max Proo #3, and the last Gallon of Red Max Pro Wax Remover also. I asked the Manager if he could order me two more Gallons from any other Lowes. He did some checking on his computer, as they can see what stock is on hand at other lowes in other areas. I was lucky, as he found another Lowes, quite some distance from where I lived that still had 3 Gallons on hand. So I had him order me 2 more Gallon and I Pre-Paid for the order. It took 19 days to get the other 2 Gallons of Red Max Pro #3. So anyone who is interested in getting Red Max Pro #3, had better get it while you can find it. As once it is gone, you might not be as lucky as I was. Talk about one very "Happy Motorhome Owner". Good Luck. Happy Travels. Dan & Jill

I noticed the Lowes I first purchased my Red Max has a couple gallons of #1, #2 and none of the #3 in gallon sizes but now carries #3 in a five gallon white square container. About $70. They had three of the 5 gallon size in stock.
Going to check other locations in Albuq today for the gallon size.
I still had the bigger half of the gallon I used on my MH and let a friend talk me out of it in WY where there isn't any Lowes, BTW: it works very well on golf carts

On the real downside, DON'T get it on your windows and not clean up RIGHT AWAY. Used PMP a few weeks ago in a spray bottle and went out yesterday to clean glass for an upcoming trip. Even Goof-Off will not get those little drops off. Going to try amnoia next. Also invest in some GOOD rubber gloves that come at least halfway to your elbows. If you get enough on your hands during application and make a fist, you'r gonna need acetone to get unstuck. This stuff really sticks to what ever it gets on(and really looks GOOD when you'r done).

TSP is used by some as the last step before applying RMP so they have it.

tarnold I have used gloves and done it bare handed and both ways worked just fine. The trisodium phosphate cleaned it from my hands and from another unwanted location. If you let it run down over where RMP has been applied you will need to touch up where it will remove the RMP. I purchased the RMP remover but have never opened the jug.

When we get off the road we are going to use Red Max Pro on all of our trucks, tractors, etc. It seems to work well over light rust too.
