I use lemon furniture polish from the dollar store. The guy at the dealer that cleans there used machines told me it was the best thing he has found.

turtle wax spray wax...works awesome...no filmy residue...and water always beads offf....makes mud hose off easy too

I'm with you, they cost too much money to let them stay dirty for too long. I wash mine at the car wash and first wash with soap, then rinse, then use the tire/engine cleaner, then rinse it again. The tire cleaner really helps keep the plastic looking good.

I pressure wash mine at home with foam cannon, and spray it with the turtle wax ice aswell

Lemon pledge works great ! I have used it for years, just make sure its lemon . I tried another kind once and it was hard to get off. Lemon will make it shine like new!

my problem is if the wife unit sees me getting out the lemon pledge she might have a heart attack and think Im actually cleaning the house so for her health concern Ill just stick to wax.
