Cleaning and Waxing?

Anyone using a product called "Greased Lightning" to clean black streaks off RV?
I have a new Bighorn 5th Wheel and starting to get a few streaks. need some advice on care and maintenance. I used to use a clorox mixture of 1 part to 3 parts water in a sprayer and that works great, but not sure it's really good for the surface and decals long term. I spent too much money on this Bighorn to screw up the finish.
Is Greased Lightning too strong to use on entire surface and decals?
Next..........looking for an easy on easy off liquid wax. I've heard a lot about 303 but that appears to be just a UV blocker.
I've heard about Nu-Finish and Mequiar Flagship. Don't have enough elbow grease to do a paste wax job. Advice appreciated.

    Meguiars Flagship wax with an orbital buffer once a year, looks, feels and maintains amazing on the gelcoat. No black streaks stick.

    Majic eraser and vim cleans but dulls a bit, finish with red max pro 3 coats - done ,from then on no more black streaks that didnt wash off with a hose and a soft towel wipe.
    Bin doin it that way for 6 years.

    This Bighorn owner also wants to know where to get it. The only place we get black streaks is the front cap and washing them off with a good nylon scrubber works but can still seem a shadow.

    Black streaks are a pain, but once they are gone I use ReJex.. My Big Horn is 2 yrs old, always been in sun and well travelled. I occasionally used an automotive wash n wax until one month ago I was given a bottle of ReJex. It's not a wax but goes on and off like a liquid wax. WOW!.... I now have the best shine I have ever seen. Others on the forum have spoken highly of this product and now I'm sold. Just got 2, 16 oz. bottles from ReJex ($19.95 ea.) One bottle did 2/3 of my rig, now I can finish up.

    There's a lot of ReJex products out there. Which did you purchase?
