We have a 2018 Rpod 179.  We were wondering if anyone uses any special products on the exterior?
The wash the dealer gave at delivery has left a haze so we'd like to wash it but we want to protect the decals as well.   Any suggestions of products?   Hand wash or wand wash?  Anything special for rubber on slides, windows etc?

Thanks!

I have been using Turtle Wax Ice products (wash with was for washing and Ice polish for waxing). For the rubber seals on the slide-out, Protect-All Rubber Seal Conditioner.My decals continue to look good and my rubber seals work well.

Awesome!  Thanks!

Do you hand wash?  can you take the Rpod to the car wash and use their wash...or too much detergent?

Maybe just me, but I never use any kind of pressurized wash system on my TV, NEVER. The detergent is not a concern, the pressurized water is.

I have used a pressure washer, but wide angle and at a distance, never close up. I don't want to blast the paint off.

My experience, not paint it is the sealant you lift.
