I just finished. I use Turtle Wax Ice. It has worked well on all my vehicles, to include the R-Pod.

Thanks. Awning is fine. No dirt or mildew. I have tried to keep it clear after each camping trip.

That's why I recommended vinegar and not bleach.

Absolutely should wax. And you'll find out just how big the Pod is!! Did it last year in its infancy and plan to again as soon as I get a chance. Used Nufinish. Works good but a pain to get off some of the decals.

Local Dollar General has LA - Awesome, so next wash I will try. Just have to figure out proper mix - car wash is 50 to 1 and fiberglass is 10 to 1. Once cleaned I will wax.

I saw some posts saying that the decals should not be waxed. Is this true? If so, what should I use on the decals to protect them from peeling?

On our 7+ year old 2011 we have used both Protect All and MeGuiar's Ultimate Wax.  Decals show no sign of fading or peeling.  I usually apply 2x/year on the decals.

Camco Black Streak Remover from Walmart, RV supplies aisle. Works great along with a 14' ladder to reach roof. Just spray, rub with long handled brush and rinse off.
