Turtle Was and wax here, every month at least once. And paste wax twice a year by hand.

Turtle Zipwash doesn't leave spots after rinsing.

We carry a pressure washer and use standard automotive washing soap in it. We don't worry about spotting or perfection, because we travel 300 days a year. The bus gets dirty the next day, so why worry about it? That's our philosophy. We only clean it when it gets so crusty that just standing nearby gets your clothes dirty!

I have that gizmo. My son in law gave to me as a present. I used it last weekend on the front of my coach to remove 955,000 bees and bugs.

I didn't care for it. I used my standard Dawn dish soap...(OMG YOU"LL TAKE OFF ALL THE WAX!!! THE SKY IS FALLING!!!) found that to apply the soap you have to squeeze the little red trigger which then injects soap in with the spray.
Have you ever spray painted a large object with several cans of spray paint? Your finger gets tired. The same was true for me pumping soap into the spray.
I'm very lucky where I live and the water is not too hard so water marks aren't much of a problem. I still wipe it down.

In the past I've tried these "no spot products" and wasn't impressed. The car dealers use distilled water and that works but they still wipe them down.

The Mr.Clean product actually works quite well, but I think that the filter wears out way too fast and overall the stuff is over priced. I still use it because it's the easiest way to get good results..

Oddly enough, I have to support your recommendation. It does work as advertised. IF: you change the filter when it needs changing.
The soap and filter is also found in some of the dollar stores for a greatly reduced price.

Ditto on the above, I use this product on the MH and on my motor bike results are no spots and no towel drying.
