Best way clean 5th wheel

[83trekker]

So a lot of my 5th wheel especially around edges with the puddy stuff is and silicone have a lot of black streaks on them. The front cap has so many dead bugs and dirt. I have tried bug be gone and other stuff but it doesn't really work well.

What does every body use that actually does work really well? Thanks

Wash 'N Wax system is great, no hose needed.

Just reviewed some I ordered , heard good things about it .

I just finished using that on my Redwood, been using it since 2012..Get either the 8 oz or the 16 oz, very easy to use..

I do not use it if the RV has a lot of road grime or dirt... Usually, I will wash first, air dry then use wash wax all when that is the case..

Y'all help me out here please. I looked on Amazon for Wash 'N Wax and got dozens of products. I've been using Meguiars Ultimate wash and wax with a foam cannon on the pressure washer and am happy, but I'll try something better.

Here - -Amazon- wash wax all

Looks like pretty much a push, on the concentrate for 27.70 ,and just the ready to go gallon for 27.95. I bought the kit , had some Amazon points to burn so I got the gallon, plus the full quart squirt bottle ,and towels that listed for $37.95. Now that I got the towels ,and the quart squirt bottle when they are empty I will go with the concentrate on your link .

Try some RejeX on the front cap, makes getting those bugs off pretty easy, also a great wax to use anywhere.

I have to agree. It is not any easier to apply than regular wax, so I just did the front cap. I had to leave the bugs on the front of my 5er over the winter because it turned winter on the way home from our last outing. Anyway, the bugs came off very easy last weekend. Mine has lasted 6 months now, at least. 🙂

Its great stuff, I will stick to using it for the front cap, but as you say its like any other wax as far as use. I am going to try that Wash & Wax stuff on the rest of the fifth wheel. Tried it on my truck, its pretty slick stuff ,and fast to do.

I'm surprised to see the recommendations for Awesome (assuming Awesome Orange ). I use it and love it but it will definitely damage paint an decals. Gotta be careful with that stuff

Very nice, I would assume you have full body paint, no graphics ?? Yes I ordered the gallon, with the quart squirt bottle ,and the towels.

Just wondering if its okay for graphics, but it does say UV protection, so assuming its okay on the graphics .

Yes, I have full body paint... I started using this on my old KZ fiver that was gelcoat and vinyl graphics..It works well on that as well...

Thanks ,I'll give it a shot on the truck to start.

Once clean get lots of wax on the cap I have 3 coats and bugs come off easily as long as you get to them as soon as you can. Seems the longer they are in the sun the harder they are to get off.

when traveling, I hose off the front cap after each day of travel...Try to get them before the sun bakes them on too long
