I used Zep on our coach and it worked very well. Lots of pros and cons.

There a lots of products out there to remove oxidation but I think it would depend on the type of finish on your MH, painted, vinyl accents, etc. It might be a good idea to call the manufacturer and ask for their recommendation.

I used Polyglow on my 2003 mirada, had set in sun for 2 years ans tried many waxes/cleaners and nothing worked until I used polyglow. First time is work as all wax must be removed but after that very easy to apply, I do it twice a year and it keeps on shining!!

I use a sprayer or spray bottle to apply it and then a clean rag to spread it. It takes a while to dry and you need five or six coats to really get it right.

Step by Step instructions are on the web. Do a search.
I used a soaked, wrung out microfiber cloth to apply. Wipe on light coat in each of 4 or five coats.

Yes, a micro-fiber rag is best, no lint, dip and wring or spray all are good. Best advice; be sure it is clean. ZEP over dirt or streaks, you have shiny dirt or streaks. Use very light coats, do the decals first they may bleed a little onto the body if you don't, after the first coat they won't bleed. I did 5 coats, takes about 20 minutes to do a side.
