| I have been using the concentrated RV wash from Wal Mart, and a long handled soft bristled auto washing brush since I bought my Rpod four years ago. You mix it up with water in a bucket and dip the brush in it and slather it around and wash it off with a hose. That's it. It really shines and keeps the decals from fading as well. Wash the dirt and grime off before using it so you don't scratch. Makes the tire sidewalls shine, too. Super E-Z. |

I have used "Spray 9" on my old tent trailer roof and canvas and it works great. Not sure if you can get this product in USA, I bought it at local Home Hardware in Canada. ------------- Terry.S 2011 Toyota Venza 2018 R-Pod 176 (Delivery June 2018) 2004 Harley Davidson Electra Glide CVO 1963 Pontiac StratoChief |

I see the Spray Nine on Amazon. They have different versions too; the regular stuff, a marine cleaner and a mold and mildew version. I'll have to try this. http://https://www.amazon.com/Spray-Nine-26832-Degreaser-Disinfectant/dp/B0014COKYU/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1521043071&sr=8-3&keywords=spray%2B9%2Bcleaner&dpID=41G6RbIX%252BwL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch&th=1 - http://https://www.amazon.com/Spray-Nine-26832-Degreaser-Disinfectant/dp/B0014COKYU/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1521043071&sr=8-3&keywords=spray%2B9%2Bcleaner&dpID=41G6RbIX%252BwL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch&th=1 ------------- 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 4X4 2018 R-Pod 189 2013 Yamaha FJR 1300A |
