On my 2004 Adventurer the vinyl graphics have a buildup of white chalky looking substance on them that I assume has built up from from different soaps and cleaning substances over the years. The painted surfaces are still very nice and shiney but the chalky looking white stuff really detracts from the appearance of the exterior. I have tried some liquid polish but it doesn't have any effect. Any ideas on how to remove the chalky white stuff? Thanks a lot for any help ya'll may have.

The only solution, in my experience, is to renew the graphics. The OEM graphics are probably available at Mobility RV. Renew them in paint for a long lasting colution.

Very easy fix. Use "Finesse it"(3M product I believe) and a medium speed buffer with a foam pad. It will remove the oxidation. Then apply a polymer product like RejeX.

You will need to reapply your RejeX often to ensure that it doesn't re-oxidize.
