Frequent washing works best .
Rather than one thorough washing you can achieve the same result over time by washing your RV completely after every trip without exception .
I am a car guy . I clay bar and polish , and wax my cars frequently .
For my trailer I use a 9" wide x 3" deep soft bristle truck brush on a 6 foot pole .
I lay down a stripe of Palmolive onto the brush face and wash a 10 square foot area .
I rinse the brush in a 5 gallon pail of HOT water .
I use a wash mitt with Palmolive for small spots .
I use a 2 inch wide paint brush with Palmolive on it to get the very small crevices around the tanks/ batteries and around lug nuts / valve stems .
I have a high flow fireman type nozzle hooked to a full 1 inch spigot .
My 2002 Komfort ( purchased new ) looks brand new because it gets washed every time without fail .
I have waxed it but frankly the frequent washing keeps it looking sharp .
Plus if I miss a spot this week ( rarely ) I clean that spot a couple of weeks later after the next trip .
Same procedure for roof and awning . Every time .
Frequency counts most .
Even if it does not look dirty I wash it before putting it away .
