Old wax on Motorhome

Question

We have not waxed this older MH yet.  But I did wipe down the drivers door a bit to see if the black marks would come off, they did.  But later when I walked by the door and it had dried, I noticed white through the other colour paint.  Would this be the old wax coming off and smearing.  If so what do I do/use to get this cleaned off and a clean MH to wax and shine?

If it is not oxidation then Dawn dish soap will remove the wax.

A good POLISHING compound will do the trick followed by a coat of wax.Could be old wax but I suspect it is oxidation.

A really good surface cleaner for oxidized surfaces is Jasco. I've used it on a variety of painted surfaces and it eliminates a lot of oxidation in the paint. I usually apply it with a sprayer and hit the surface with a soft brush. Rinse and repeat.

Try Meguiar's Marine-RV One Step Compound, it remove oxidation, stains, ect. and leaves a little shine. Follow that with a coat of wax and looks like new again. It is designed for Gelcoat on Boats &amp; RVs. I love it. :)

We are pretty sure now that this is oxidation for the fiberglass roof.   So we are starting with the roof today.
