With what do you wash your RV?

Ideally, I'd like to be able to use a foam canon let it sit and power wash it off...

Tried regular car wash, but it doesn't get the road grime off

What is the best no touch solution...?

No touch wash??

I've never heard of any no touch wash systems that will get a real good shine! I have been using KleenFlo Wash and Wax in a bucket of hot water and rinsing as I go down each side. We have really hard water, so can't let it dry. Dry and polish the windows as I go also.
Happy Glamping.

Wash real good with say Dawn dish soap, then take the time to apply a good coat of wax, I mix 1 can of MaGuires wax and cleaner with a can of MaGuires carnuba wax, both paste waxes. Yes it takes 2 days to do our 40' coach BUT for the last 2 years I've washed it with MaGuires liquid wash and wax soap and the water still beads up after 2 years.

No touch no good you need a soft brush or mitten on a pole.

I use a foam cannon and Chemical Guys soap. My water at home is naturally soft. Very seldom do I need a brush except for the wheels and tires.

We wash our motor home with this soap using this extension mop, and this collapsible bucket.

And then, for the final rinse, we use this rechargeable 4 gallon garden sprayer full of distilled water that I buy at Walmart. It works great and no spots!
