Default I tried WWA and like it.

After reading this thread, I thought I should try something better
than 'Lemon Pledge' and ordered the Wash-Wax-All starter kit.

The starter kit includes:
16 oz. Wash Wax All-blue
16 oz. Wash Wax All degreaser-red
4 oz. Belly wash
1 scrubber pad
4 Aero towels (microfiber)

Cost:
About $30 + ~10 shipping

As the RV was mostly debugged and washed, I only used the blue
and some red ( on the belly).
Very easy to use and the results so far are great.
I'll use the scrubber pad and belly wash in the future as needed.
Now I need to go out and smash some bugs.

Thanks all for your posts on this subject,
Tom

I'll toss into the mix, what I like.........

Simple Green "Extreme" --- Boeing spec.

This was available at Home Depot for awhile in 32 oz. spray bottles, but it seems that HD has discontinued the product. I got my last two gallons just yesterday from Aircraft Spruce.........which was delivered by "UPS" in perfect condition. Note: there is a recent UPS thread lurking around here..

We spray this on, let it set a bit, and then wipe with a wet rag, followed by another dry rag. Takes the bugs easily off, and dry's to a polished look. We spray the plexiglass with a different cleaner.

Default Wash wax

I purchased two bug pads 11 years ago and I'm still using the same ones.
I use water and a bug pad after every BUG flight and the critters come off with ease. I wax the airframe two to three times per year.
