Waxing the nose of my 5th wheel

I never wax it.

I use Sea Foam BBG1 Cleaner bug cleaner, then wash it with Meguiars car wash.

After it dries, I coat it liberally with Aerospace 303 and let it air dry. when its mostly dry I wipe it with a 303 dampened microfiber cloth to get the drips.

As I read it liquid soap as used in a auto dish washer. Not Dawn which is used for had dish washing

You mean dishwasher soap?

Then your screwed. Using any sort of abrasives on aluminum siding will scratch thru the extremely thin paint layer. Wash and wax just like you would with a car finish.

I wax the nose of our RV at least 3 or 4 times a season, it makes cleaning the bugs off so much easier. I use NU Finish.

Once a year usually in the fall I go over the entire RV with NU Finish. :B

Thanks for the ideas but I failed to mention that nose is aluminum. Just can't get a good shine on it.

lots of people rave about the floor finish products, such as Zep.
Never tried it but concerns about if starting to flake?
Just a thought..............
Several videos on youtube.

I use 3M marine One Step and then follow up with McGuiar's quick detailer spray in the red bottle

you need to remove the oxidation first then wax/polish it to get it to shine
look at my profile pictures that's a 11year old fifth wheel and a 15 year old truck
I used ultimate compound and nufinish
There also a new product from 3M its called Perfect-it 36110 gelcoat light cutting polish/wax. Its a one step ( it says you can get it on amazon.com and walmart.com)

Read a suggestion a few days ago. Liquid auto dish soap. Rub it on and let it sit a while, rinse off. I tried it on the side of my fiver yesterday with one modification. I used a green scotch brite pad and gently rubbed it in. Rinced off off and applied a coat of polish. Beautiful, the oxidation is almost invisible.
I personally like either McGuires RV/Marine in the blue bottles or Colonite boat wax. Both produce excellent shine with moderate effort.
