frequent washing is how i keep my 2002 Komfort 21T ( ordered new ) looking shiny bright .
i wash it thoroughly after EVERY campout .
i often wash it before some campouts .
trailers sit 90% of the time .
i use Palmolive dishwash liquid .
i use a bucket of HOT water .
i use a 9 " wide X 4" soft truck brush on a 7 foot pole.
i use copius amounts of water to rinse before and after .
i wash out the brush in the HOT water .
i lay down a stripe of Palmolive on the face of the brush .
i then wash my 4'x 5' section with the brush .
i do the same for the awning and the roof .
most civilians are not going to wax or polish their trailer .
but they can get 86 % there by frequent washing .
i am a car guy born in 1946 .
i have a porsche and a mercedes .
i belong to the porsche club.
i hang out with car guys .
i use a clay bar , good polish , and lots of elbow grease to keep my fancy car shiny , just like the car geeks that i hang out with .
for a trailer that sits 90 % of the time i just cannot spend the extra time polishing it , instead of polishing my duramax , my boat , and my cars .
frequent washing of rolling stock is the solution .
there are lots of products .
i have used all of them .
the best product is elbow grease .
