Best way to clean Sunseeker with full body paint?

So what products does everyone use to clean their motorhome? I’ve seen so many products from those you apply with a hose and rinse off to those you simply spray on and buff off. I really don’t know which one to use.

Same as you would use to do your car/pickup!

I would use a high quality soap for cars. Personally I use products from Jax Wax and a foam canon which certainly makes it easier.

I wish it were that easy. I usually run my car through the car wash. I’ve heard you can use truck washes for RVs but I’ve read a lot of horror stories about those

I use Meguiar's Marine/RV soap and then Meguirar's 56 wax. The wax goes on easy and comes off easy too. So far I have not used a buffer but might start soon to save the shoulders! The RV is only 3 years old(12months that I have owned it) but the body paint looks very nice still. I put at least 2 full coats of wax on it per year. This summer I will cover it between trips.

I use Aero Cosmetics Wash and wax, no water needed.

I didn't know you wanted a place to do it. Blue Beacon is a truck wash. Just like a car wash.
There are also groups that come into Camp Grounds and wash and wax if you want. Anywhere from $10.00 - $20.00 a foot in length. That's another option.

We use this stuff on our Sunseeker, recommended by another site we're subscribed to. We love it; it works great.

I do not think the OP is a DIY type. I think he's looking for a place to do it since he doesn't do his own car.

I had a local detail company wash and wax our 36' travel trailer last year after our trip to the beach. They charge $7/ft. to wash and $11/ft. to wash and wax. As much as I like to clean up my cars and such its money well spent to have them do in a few hours what would take me an entire weekend.
