When it comes to cleaning the exterior of a Travel Trailer (Fiberglass), I need some recommendations on just what to use. Without having someone to do a costly detailing job, I would like to do it myself. The TT is in real good shape, and no oxidation I have used a wash and wax type soap, it cleans real well. I use a telescopic brush and an electric power washer. Knowing me...I'm always looking for something better to use that really makes it shine!! I got to old to be climbing on ladders, knee replacements don't help either. Guess I'm looking for the easiest way out to do the job. The TT is 23' 4" long (Box) and 115" high. A Rockwood Ultralite I bought off my X. It's a 2011 TT. If you ask if I have anyone that would help me clean this project...I don't. With the equipment I have, I can do it myself with the exception of climbing on the top!! So........what would be the GO TO cleaner in a jug would you use on your fiberglass TT ?

There are several containers of SG for different uses. The one I found was the "Total Out Door Cleaner / Oxy Solve". Ad shows it's used on boats and RV's with a FG exterior. Ad says to dry immediately with soft cloth chamois. That might be hard for me to do. Comments?

I just rinsed, washed, rinsed and used an absorber on windows. I did wax it fall and spring which is a lot of work.

There are public car washes that have one or more bays with an elevated platform just for washing travel trailers and RV's. Do a Google search for one near your area.
