I use Wash & Wax All twice a year using microfiber towels. Before waxing, I clean the camper using Adams soap and a soap gun. The soap gun was purchased for vehicles but works well for the camper, especially the high spots.
One neat trick is to use dryer sheets to get all the bugs off the front cap. Wet the dryer sheet and work a section at a time. I usually go through 4-5 dryer sheets on the cap. The key thing is to make sure everything is wet and doesn't start to dry. Dryer sheets have worked well for me for years on the camper cap and the front of the truck after a long trip.Tim & Lisa

Just be aware that Awesome cleaner strips wax. Any area it is used on will need to be re-waxed.

Our new Reflection is supposed to have a "ceramic" coating applied (to the tune of $2000). This is supposed to keep the trailer looking good for 10 years. I'm assuming that I will still have to wash it once in a while, and maybe wax it. We'll see what the dealer tells us tomorrow about caring for that stuff. The doctor said I'm not supposed to be climbing ladders, but those of us who are built closer to the ground sometimes need a little help to reach things that others can more easily reach.

Just finished waxing my reflection using Nu Finish, easy on easy off and last great. I wash using a soap cannon and Meguiar’s Gold Class car wash. Mequiars will not strip the was and leaves a slick finish.

I fell for that one too. I never found out what product the dealer used, but after 6 mo. it was mostly gone. A local guy offered to do another product for $600.
You might want to check out https://youtube.com/@ScottHD for tests of various ceramic coatings.
BTW he washes his test panels once a month.Rick
