LA's Totally Awesome from the dollar store. I spray it on full strength, use a long handle car wash brush.

I keep up on mine so I just use the car wash soap that i'm using when washing the outside of the rig. If you get stains underneath a lot of people use simple green, any citrus based cleaner or Camco makes some stain and mold cleaner.

Me too, works great, just gotta be careful around the paint. That stuff will strip wax off in a heartbeat. I used it to remove black streaks once and spent the rest of the day waxing.

Purple Power works also. Same caution with the wax though. Key is to stay on top of them and let them dry out before storing.

Aaron, do you also use LA for the roof? A better cleaning solution on top?

I don't use it on the roof, because it of the potential for stripping wax and/or paint damage to the siding. My current rig has full body paint.

For the roof I typically use dish detergent and a medium stiff deck brush. I have a huge bottle of Ajax dish detergent that I got on sale somewhere. Same stuff we use at work for commercial roofs.

My goal when cleaning the roof it just to get the worst of the dirt off so I can see the condition of the sealants and check for any sort of damage. I don't expect to get it spotless. I have also used a pressure washer set on a very low setting with a wide fan tip if it the roof was really ugly, but you have to be careful around the vents and other roof penetrations.
