Washing Exterior with a foam cannon
I recieved a foam cannon for Christmas for washing our new 388TH toy hauler. Wondering if anyone else has is using the same and what product are you using for the foam. Any advice on washing, how to wax and buff, products, ect would be extremely helpful. Thanks!

Hit all the decals with 303 Protectant before you wax. Some waxes have petroleum distillates that can cause the decals to dry out and crack. Wax as normal. I use Mcquires because that what I have on hand for my cars and apply with an applicator pad by hand and remove with a terrycloth towel or microfiber cloth. I wash with whatever auto soap I have on hand using a soft bristled brush on a telescoping pole. I dry by draping a terrycloth towel over a garage floor squeegee and pull it down the sides. Get the nooks and crannies by hand. Takes about 35 min. to wash, a few hours to wax. Your is longer so it may take a little longer. Sorry I don't know anything about a foam cannon.

I use chemical guys Mr. Pink. It works great in a foam cannon. I haven't used it on my RV yet though, I'm not really sure where I can take it to wash it honestly.

I also use a foam canon on both my truck and our 5th wheel prior to the start of the season (That's the Hydro2Foam). During our trips, I just carry a 5 gallon bucket, 3 spray bottles of different things a waterless wash, a light topcoat, and bug remover with some microfiber towels, a bug scrubber, and a wheel brush.

Thanks for the responses! In Northern MN, so its still in storage, but will get getting it out this weekend to bring to the dealer for warranty work. Thanks to Namleshe for the Chemical Guys link. I went to their website and decided to just ask them what product they would recommend rather than damage the paint and stickers! I will let you know what I hear back!

Got an email back from Chemical Guys. This is what they recommend. I ordered 2 gallons of the honeydew.

Careful with the Honeydew, it can be a pain to get off. It get really soapy.
