What type brush to wash fiberglass camper?
I used a telescopic bristle brush to wash my old aluminum sided camper. I now have a new fiberglass camper. Is it okay to use this same brush to wash it, or would it damage/scratch it? What should I use?

- One of these on the end of a panter's telescoping paint roller pole. Works very well. Brush is nice and soft. When wet, it's heavy! Works great. Use it on my car and truck too, and siding on my house.

All my life I used dish washing soap to wash my vehicles, and campers. UNTILL lately, when I found out. Dish washing soap takes the wax off. At first I thought it was only Dawn. But no, It is all of them. so now I use only soap formulated for vehicles. What I have now is Rain x. Only because it was on sale. But there are lots of other "car" wash soaps. And to be honest. I don't have to wax as often, Nor is it as hard when I do.
Just a thought.
As for the brush. I also use a soft tele brush.- I guess our fiberglass van is spoiled. She gets washed with a lamb's wool mop head (from Camping World.)
- I use a telescopic pole with a soft bristle brush and Ivory or Dawn soap.
- I use that on my trailer - no issues. I use Meguire's car wash soap.
