RV Wash products
Just wondering what products you are happy with for washing the side of your RV? In this case, a fiberglass Jayco 5th Wheel.
What products are you happy with for cleaning/maintaining the rubber roof?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

This is what I use.... Kleen-flo by Armashell. Golden Wax Wash Powder. Works great and the 3.6 kg. lasts a long time.

Blue Coral at Walmart - the wash products are all very much the same.
Check your owner's manual for the roof. I use 303 Aerospace Protectorant.

Iv been using Waterless products for years and recently came across this one that mixes 16:1 with water. 90% of my washes on my coach, toad and Tbird are with this product.

I use Murphy Oil on my roof....Bounder 35K.....Everyone I have talked to since buying have said that Murphy Oil is FINE to use, I just make sure I rinse the sides, back and front down well when doing so.

Been using what Tiffin recommends and thats baby shampoo and vinegar in water. Was just reading a review about wash products for boats and it said that you should use soap that has a Ph at or near 7 as lower attacks the gelcoat and or paint finish. Dawn dish soap has a Ph of 5. Rv has a similar finish so something to think about.

I use Turtlewax car wash liquid on my cars and motor home. Can't help you on the roof, mine is fiberglass.

We also use Wash Wax All by Aero Cosmetics. A great product. We've used it on our 5th wheel since it was new, and after 5 years it still looks new. Easy to use, no ladders needed. We also use Murphy's Oil Soap on the roof.

Turtle Wax Ice car wash, and Protect-all for the coach. Murphy's oil on a rubber roof which is what the manufacturer of the roof of my first coach said to use. I use Blue Coral or Murphy's oil on my fiberglass roof.
