I use turtle wax Zip Wax car wash to wash it, then use Aerospace 303 protectant on the vinyl decals and NuFinsh on the rest.

I put the first coat of NuFinsh on it yesterday. It looks awsome.

I have used the protect-all on 3 campers now.

I use dawn and brushwash at least once/month. Also put a coat of Nu-finish 1x year. My motto is keep it clean and washing is easy, always looks good. It helps to keep roof and gutters clean to minimize black streaking. I also open awning after each trip and rinse off with hose and air dry before closing. Campfire ashes and tree debris that land on awning at campgrounds coats underside of awning when it is rolled up dirty.

I use some stuff from Walmart called black streak remover. It works pretty well. A micro fiber rag and the spray clean black streaks off very well.

It's in the camper accessories isle too. Made by camco.
