In the end, my valves worked better! For a day....
Yup, one day Joy. I guess this just washes off like the original grease, but much faster. I shouldn't be surprised.
Oh, to be fair this is a family of 6 in a full time living situation, so I was requiring a better result. Maybe if you dump that into the tank and let it sit on the closed valve while it is is storage you will get a better result? Maybe.
I got a quote for hundreds of dollars to replace both valves (RV center in Kelso, WA), but decided to buy this stuff first. I dumped a bottle in the black and a bottle in the grey tank and added water. (Yea, I didn't follow the instructions to the letter). As I started working the black valve in and out, I thought I broke the cable because it suddenly had very little resistance. Same with the grey valve.
The valves were not broken, they were just working as designed. They were easier to operate then when the trailer was brand new and most importantly, the trickle of gross water stopped coming out. Just my experience but I think I've only done one other product review on here so this stuff really impressed me!

Just like it said it would.
Bothe black and grey water valves were almost seized.
So since we're hooked up.
I forced the valves shut.
Poured the stuff down the shower drain and the toilet.
Added some water and started working the valves back and forth little by little until they ran smooth as butter.
