Wash and wax

[RChadwick]

I've had my X23B for almost a year now, and I think I need to wash it. The surface doesn't seem the same as a car paint job, so I've got some very basic questions:

What do you use to wash it? is Awesome safe?
What do you use to wipe soap on/off? Soft brush? Sponge? Cloth? I'm worried the graphics might come off with too much aggression
Do you wax? I'm guessing a real wax, not the 'once a year' stuff?

Should I just take it to a self-serve (The one that you pay by quarters) car wash?

I bought a soft bristle brush from my dealer when we bought our Northpoint. Works great, however I found this one that'll work better with having side bristles on it.

It's just as soft and doesn't hurt decals.

The wash I use is a Wizards brand, but any good name brand car wash will work just fine.

Wax, I use Wizards Shine Master and for a quick hit before we go, helps take the bugs off much easier, I use their Mist and Shine. The Wizards wax is safe for decals. Our trailer gets washed after every use and waxed once a year. Waxing it is a BIG job.

I wash my trailer at least 3 or 4 times per season and wax it once and sometimes twice. I do it in my driveway with a brush on a pole and hand wash mits. I am partial to Megiuiars products. I don't use an all in one wash / wax but will use quick detail spray in between waxes.

I would not use Awesome cleaner, way too strong. The best thing to use is car soap.

I've been using this a couple times a year with very good results.

Wet the surface, apply with sponge, rinse well and dry with microfiber cloth. Apply Aerospace 303 to decals, tires, AC cover, etc.

More than likely your finish is Gel Coat, there is an updated version of
the wash/wax product comparison for Gel Coat finishes at this link...

Gel Gloss works well...but there are other options.
