Cleaning dust from exterior without water available

Howdy all. Most of the campgrounds I've been at don't allow you to wash your coach. I do see a lot of folks wiping the exterior of their coaches. Is it safe to use a micro fiber dust mop to wipe down the sides? I worry about it scratching the exterior.

Use WashWaxAll. It does a great job without water and without scratching.

X’3 on the Wash/Wax All Marc and Chuck said.
I carry a pressure washer but have yet to use it.
Works very well.

I sponge bath my coach in parks that do not allow washing and have never had an issue.

I use clean water in a bucket. No hose.
I use a clean microfiber cloth to wash and then a clean microfiber cloth to dry.
I do everything I can reach and that gets 90% of the dirt.
I do the shade side of the coach whenever I an cleaning.
The key is clean water and clean cloths.


Campground staff have not had an issue with me do this.

cleaning dust from exterior of rv

WASHWAXALL sound similar to 303 aerospace protectant which has uv protection in it. I use it and it works just fine.

You might check out 'Aero Cosmetics Wash Wax ALL' - designed for the aircraft industry, and highly recommended.

I would not use 303 on the coach paint. It is not a cleaner. It is a sealant and outercote. I use 303 on my tires after washing and on my front cap shield.

Many of us use Aero Cosmetics WASHNWAX ALL. It was developed for personal aircraft and works very well with coaches. It would not be good for heavy dirt or soil accumulation.... but is used more for a quick once over on a lightly dusted coach. Good product.

Again... Wash and wax all .

I also use it on my fiberglass roof to keep in white and free from black spots. After 10 years the roof looks like new. I wipe off any dirt with a wet cloth and then spray on the Wash & Wax all.
