acetone... go slow and NOT ON PAINT. and be careful around plastic.

did my Coachmen Cascade last year. about 2 gallons... lots of old T shirts. then wax.

Walmart paint department. and YES elbow grease.. and more elbow grease.
and my trailer is a 2005 and never cleaned or washed.. not bad but looked weathered. and LOTS of black streaks from bent gutters..
and the Cascade is WHITE....

used a power buffer for the wax... wax on... wax off... Looks real good now.
Thank you Chuck!!:B

Bar keepers friend is liken to Comet. Its a kitchen cleaner and was used on bars in restaurants and on the brass fittings of the beer tapper etc. Henceforth the name.

It should NOT be used on vehicles. It WILL scratch the finish.
Thank's gboop ๐Ÿ™‚

Rubbing on Vaseline works as well. I have done a badly oxidized boat with it and worked great. Less offensive than trans oil.
I like this. I will give this a try.:)

Try using transmission fluid. You will have to do it every 3 to 4 months. Nothing will stick to it. Easiest way i can tell you.

I use Jasco Prepaint Conditioner at 50% dilution in a tank sprayer. Clean surface, apply Jasco, lightly swirl it with a brush on handle, reapply Jasco, and rinse.
This solution will work on painted surfaces, also.

I just use McGuires 'cleaner' wax. Been using it for years on my RV.
ONE step, put on, rub off, and watch it shine.

See the top? That's the oxidized part I couldn't reach without dragging my ladder out. Below is the shine from one application of wax.

It's not rocket science and IMHO I would NOT use any of those ruby reds clear coat treatments or whatever they call it treatments on your RV. There have been 'numerous' reports of what happens when they start to wear off in patches and all what you have to do to get the darn stuff off.

Did the top part at the next CG stop when I felt more like taking the ladder down off the back of the MH. :W

I just got this in but have not tried it yet. This was recommended by my RV manufacturer.
