Bucket of water with the Jay Leno car wash liquid. Car wash brush with long handle and a ladder when needed.

I use all the Jay Leno car cleaning products.

Adjustable long handle brush, bucket, soap and a hose. If on the road I just use a rest area and and hook the hose to my on board water pump and 100 gallon fresh water tank since most CGs won't allow washing.

I cleaned our 46ft fifth wheel, washed with a car wash soap and wax then I sprayed and wiped with Simple Reflection. It's a polymer coating that keeps anything from sticking. Water runs off, and dust doesn't stick. A 32oz bottle did the entire outside. After a long drive, all I have to do is a quick water hose spray and wipe with a microfiber cloth on an extendable pole.

I always hand wash...

Mostly using Wash Wax All by Aero Cosmetics. If it’s really dirty or covered with smoke ash like ours was last fall from spending the summer in Montana, we go thru a Blue Beacon. The front cap of our 5er is very hard to reach, hubby uses the truck bed with the extendable wand that came with our Wash Wax All kit. We can even wash where washing with water is not allowed since it’s waterless. (Waterless in the sense of not using a water hose).

Btw, we full time.

When we got our new to us 37' full body paint MH i wasn't about to do the wax on wax off process. Do a search on here for information about the wash wax all system, that's what got me to get it.
For the past 2 years it has worked awesome. It takes me a hair over and hour to do the whole coach. I will if needed do the bucket and soap followed up with a wash wax all.

I wouldn't recommend using dawn dish soap as that will remove what ever wax is on the coach.

We got ours after seeing a demonstration at the IRV2 rally in 2016. We love ours too.

We washed ours ourselves to get the main crude off - we were boondockers, traveling gravel roads - and then used 'The Solution' on it. Goes on super easy. After 8 years of full-timing our motorhome looked like new when we sold it. We've always used it on our cars, too.

We winter in Yuma and have a gentleman who washes and hand paste waxes our fifth wheel for $100. The rest of the year, I use a long handle brush, automotive soap and a water blade squeegee from Amazon to keep the water spots off. I use Rejex on the front cap for bugs.

X2 on what southernlady and Bruce91 said. We have used Wash Wax All on our 2012 Mobile Suite since we bought it. It has never had a water bath, except for rain. It looks like new

Have used several of the dry wash systems, they work great for “keeping” it clean. But I am a true believer in Collonite Fleetwax for full-on waxing. Best wax I have ever used, liquid is preferred.

Mine has Aluminum sides and full body paint, though being nearly 17 years old, the paint is starting to show some oxidation issues, particularly along the curved area near the roof, so no matter what I do it will never be perfect. Therefore I wash it with a pressure washer and a foam canon using a combination of a commercial bus wash which is designed to remove road grime and concentrated glass cleaner. This does a great job of removing most of dirt and grime off my coach leaving it looking fairly good, though perhaps without that mirror shine one may get after putting in days worth of work.
