Generally something like Turtle Wax Car Wash is what we use, or similar. Try to do this when the sun is not hitting it, but make sure to wet the area well, wash with a soft brush and rinse right away. Just work your way around doing a section at a time. We do use a product from Dollar Tree, LA's Awesome, a yellowish liquid for tough spots on the trim. It gives you a dilution chart, but we have been known to use it full strength on really tough areas, but make sure you rinse well immediately after. Simple Green is a great product, but overkill for washing your trailer. Some folks have used a pressure washer for this job, but strongly suggest you NOT do that. It's a disaster waiting to happen for your decals and also encourages water to seep in to any small cracks in the caulking. Do this with a soft brush on a long handle and you'll be able to see potential problem areas at the same time. Agree that you probably need to give it a good waxing. Not only will it look better, but makes follow-up washing a lot easier....getting those pesky bugs off the front especially.
