Washing coach with full body paint
Hi,
Now I have my rig stored at home I would like to wash it, I have never down so before.
I am not too worried about waxing for now, just want to get it clean.
I do have a power washer I can use if needs be.
What products and brushes would folk recommend?
Thanks,

Bought a foam cannon. Super suds coach, clean with soft brush extension rod. Rinse with clean water.
There are a million foam cannons available on amazon. Chemical Guys seem to expensive compared to the others. I do Mr. Pink soap though. Lots of suds and good cleaner.

I use the store bought stuff but recently was told that Baby Shampoo works great and is gentle on wax, etc. I also use this to rinse it off so I do not have to work at drying the coach.

Sounds like you don't wash your cars, either, as you would use the same stuff with the addition of a long handled brush.

I use baby shampoo with a lambswool (Mary Moppins) mop. Sherlock 6 - 12' extension pole. Both on Amazon. Have plenty of rags and dry as soon as you rinse to limit spotting. Don't go near the coach with a power washer.

How ever you wash your car wash MH same paint just a lot bigger. I use a Rv wash and wax. Any good wax will work I generally take 2 days to wax.

And a squeegee head to go on your pole. The more water you can squeegee off the less towels and effort you'll need to dry it off.
And some shade if you can find it

Never thought about using a squeegee. That's using the ol' noggin, tarheel21. Thanks.

Mary Moppins lamb's wool pad on a 14' collapsible extension pole. To rinse, I use a Griot's Garage deionizer and have no water spots to squeegee off.
