Soap IS NOT Soap !
Never use laundry / dish soap on a vehicle unless you want to remove the wax and or streak the finish !
Depending on your level of experience cleaning,washing and detailing a vehicle (yes there actually is a science to it ) ;)
The right way would be buff the oxidation off the gel-coat then give it a good polish then a couple of coats of a good quality Carnuba wax with a DA polisher.
If you cannot do that or have access to one.
Can you afford to have it detailed ?
If not then get a good quality "vehicle soap" with wax in it
Mcguiars makes a good combo Wash/Wax and most if not all RV places sells the combo too. Walmart sells Camco products and has a RV wash & Wax.
I used Camco Wash & Wax picked it up at walmart on my last MH before I sold it.
Even tho it had plenty of oxidation showing, the W/W at least gave it a little shine and protection.
I bought a Flex DA polisher and did my new to me MH and it turned out nice .
