I use Dawn Dishwashing Liquid in warm water and a soft RV Cleaning brush. That pretty well gets rid of everything. There are commercial RV cleaning solutions that you mix with water that will do pretty much the same thing.
I don't believe a microfiber cloth will scratch any more than a terry cloth or sponge. You'll get lots of opinions on what soap to use. I just grabbed one at the auto isle in wally world. Meguiars ultimate wash and wax works for me.
I also use a car wash mop with telescopic handle.

Never had issues with microfiber, in fact my neighbor who used to detail cars told me to use microfiber rags for waxing. He said do not use fabric softener on them and do not put them through the dryer.
We use meguiars ultimate spray on wax. We usually use meguiars deep crystal car wash if we hand wash (blue beacon is a few minutes away from us). We will compound any black streaks out as well. We use LA's totally awesome on the roof.
I really really like gelgloss wash. I find it to perform the best when I must wash in the sun. It seams to outperform anything else.
FYI I love Dawn. I use it for a lot of things even to shave my head in the shower. However I just really really like this pink stuff.
I also use microfibers. No issiues for me.
