Washing the Travel Trailer

Newbie getting ready to wash the outside of my 2015 Wildwood Xlite TT. Any suggestions/thought on care products that gets the job done without causing eventual fading over time?

I just use a wash/wax on my trailer which leaves it nice and shinny. I'm typically washing mine every 3 weeks to keep any black streaks off it.

I believe that Spic and Span is usually called for... that is what I use on my Shamrock hybrid top and sides

I have been using this ( see link below) for years on both RV and vehicles. Cleans well and does not streak. PS Not endorsing any specific retailer, just product.

Premium Gel-Gloss Wash and Wax - Gallon - T R Industries WW-128 - RV Cleaners - Camping World

My buddie's wife ordered him the Aero Wash Wax Mop Kit and his 5ver turned out really nice. He didn't have to mess with a ladder because of the extension mop. I have one on order. Hoping it will cut my wash/wax time in half.

Oh yeah, just Google Aero Wash Wax Mop Kit. Amazon and a bunch of other places have it. It was ment for aircraft but works well for fiberglass.
