I would like to know if anyone has experience with a product to keep your RV clean when washing isn't available.

Our water here leaves white residue and the local car washes are too small to fit in. I can get the rig about 80% clean, but there is always some dirty spots where I would like to spray something on and wipe it off.

I found this product on Amazon for $40

Any quick detailer will work. I use Meguiars.

Exclusively used it for over 7 years. Very happy. BUT — if you have a lot of grime and dirt, nothing beats water. What’s you add (solution) will dredge up 1,000 opinions!

I've been using Wash/Wax/All for many years. I use 2' x 2' microfiber towels to apply. I have a rolling mechanics stool in the coach and will use it at campgrounds that have even ground. I just roll down the side of the coach. It lets me get under the slides without bending over. The secret is to use several microfiber towels and change them out as they get dirty. I keep the dirty ones under the stool seat and use them on the tires and rims.

Great stuff. But I wouldn't use for anything more than some dust on the car. I use it for a quick shine after I wash the car/truck. I pack two microfiber cloths, one for application and one for buffing.
For more long lasting polish I prefer Nu Finish products.

I use both the Wash Wax All and the similar Meguiars product. Both do a good job. Because I ran out of the WWA, I was able to do a side by side test, I think Meguiars did a marginally better job. WWA is lower in price, especially if you get the concentrate gallon size. Meguiars is available anywhere. Both are good for a quick cleanup while on the road, rinse off heavy mud first.

I use Wash Wax All, on our toy hauler.
I used it for over 3 years, it does a very good. When the rig is really dirty, like now, I usually do the rig by hand. This takes me about 3 days, 45-feet long 13'2" tall.

I think some are seeing the Wash/Wax/All as the primary way to wash the coach. I wash my coach at home with soap and water. When it's allowed at a campground, I use soap and water. When the campground doesn't allow washing, that's when I break out the WWA.

The only other time I use it is when I wash the windshield while on the road. I have a brush and squeegee system to wash the windshield from the ground and then I use the WWA to clean below the windshield after the rinse water drips down the front.

I've always been skeptical of these products and don't see how they can be good for vehicle finishes. I ideally wash my vehicles with either a sponge or a car wash brush. If the vehicle has dirt particles on the vehicle, i.e., a dirty vehicle, spraying on these products and wiping with a cloth is rubbing the dirt into the finish and has the potential to scratch the finish.

I use only a good car wash soap added to a bucket of water and a brush or sponge. Both the brush and the sponge has the ability to loosen the dirt without rubbing it into the surface.

2X but we full time. If really dirty and gritty, I'll wait till we get to a campground that allows washing

When I wash with water , I use my older blue water filter to filter the water in the park or any other water . At home I have the blue water filter and a wet spot water filter for my hard water . Get very little spotting on coach , wash ,squeegee off water , then towel dry . No spots . Use a good paste wax twice a year , then Lucas speed detailer for a quick touch up while on the road .

Other methods could be high quality larger squeeze foam mop, Lieberman makes real nice one in red/black professional line, to remove excess dirt maybe a squeegee and not have to use a hose. An on the go type water softener as opposed to a deionizer can reduce spots and can be regenerated and used for coach water. Dual bed type de-ionizer is not easily or safely regenerated and resin is expensive . Many owners choose to use de-ionizer though....I'm not trying to argue against that. There's plenty of threads discussing usefulness of spot free water system. You can also look into one those.
