Wash and wax aluminum sided trailers
New trailer with the aluminum siding, what kind of wax if any and cleaning tips. Not flat like the fiberglass and looks harder to clean. Thanks

We all have our favorites and here is mine. I have an aluminum sided Dutchmen.
Before the first trip, wash the winter’s dirt and debris with a long handles brush and soap and water. Then I rinse it well. When dry I wash it again with a long handles brush and Mother’s wash and wax. I repeat the wax on the front face.
In the fall before it is put away, I do the same thing, paying particular attention to the front and the rock shielding plate that gets a lot of debris.
The process takes about 2 hours including drying time and there is not much you can do about small amount of tree sap stain that always seems to remain. I have gutters spouts so I do not get the dreaded black streaks from the roof.
It takes a sunny day to dry and while waiting for it to dry I will sometimes do my TV the same way depending on how ambitious I am feeling.
