Best cleaner and wax to use to wash fifth wheel

My fifth wheel is in a campground most of the year and has algae and tree sap on it. I have a Montana with smooth sides and have washed it many times but cannot get the shine back. What would be best to wash it with and what type wax and how to apply?

  • I've never had hard water spots left when using the fulltimers choice rv wash. and I am often washing it at CG's with nasty mineral laden well water.
  • Blue Coral from Walmart! It is a wash and wax. Spray down the side of the RV, then wash with Blue Coral using a bucket/long handle brush, then sponge wipe. Your Done.

    I use a towel to dry the trailer before the spots can dry. I wrap it around the brush head of the long handled wash brush.
    Maguires Cleaner/Wax will shine the unit and removes any spots.
  • What about the mineral spots left from the water used to rinse the soap off??
  • I only use Macguire's or Mother's for the waxing.

    And for in between I wash with Full timers Choice RV wash. Which really does a good job of cleaning and also leaves a REAL nice shine when done. A lot more so than regular car wash/wax products.

    This is the best one I found.
