I had this problem with my previous coach but they never left any reside from waxing or cleaning.

There was some bad stuff but you find the crazing on just about any coach and it will be in the darker colors. If you use a infrared thermometer, you can see as much as 110 degrees difference between a light color and a dark color on the same coach.
My coach was built in August 2001 and I am beginning to see the crazing in the darker trim colors, the light tan is fine.
