Plane wash
Can I use dish soap in a power washer for my unpainted RV12?

JMHO... I would not use a power wash on anything that is riveted together.
Nor would I use a duster, unless you enjoy doing polishing work afterwards.
Not sure what you do use to lift dust and dirt from unfinished raw aluminum.

If you plan on keeping it unpainted, use a good car detergent, but I wouldn't power wash - just get your Marigolds on, fill a pail and get on with it - hose it off.
If you are going to paint at some point, don't use anything with wash/wax in it - use Dawn. no salts in Dawn and it is very frothy.
I know - I am in the Old Country, but I still buy Dawn when in the Colonies as it is good !!!

A gallon jug will last you a lifetime as it is a concentrate. Seems to work really well. I just mix it up at the most dilute ratio and put it in spray bottles.

Where do you get "worm" water? Is this something that comes from a bait house?
