Retired Navy Chief,  I have used Blue Beacon a couple times, they were careful and did a good job.  You have to warn them to stay away from decal edges with high pressure wands.

Retired Navy Chief,
Blue Beacon has a excellent Undercarriage Rinse with "Salt-Away".  Salt-Away is a rust and corrosion inhibiter which is very important if we operate our coaches when there is salt (sodium chloride, calcium chloride, and magnesium chloride) on the highways or when we have been to a ocean beach.  Not all the locations have this service.  If you check the location on their web page, it will tell.  Location List  I try to get it in the winter after I get down to South Carolina or that area.  Think this is a added benefit considering the bulkhead bolt rust jacking problem one could have from running in the north during the winter months.

The answer is...It depends on what finishes you have on your coach, vinyl decals, painted decals on gelcoat, full paint, etc.  I'm learning so much from James Stallings at Xtreme.  So, if you tell us what you have, I can share what process you should use.  As always, you get what you pay for.

For example, an Xtreme full body paint needs mild soap & water to wash...that's it!

Peter, I'm interested in hog's hair brushes. Could you ask James what's so special about them and if he recommends them?

Dick,
I'll ask tomorrow.  I know that a hogs hair shaving brush can run into serious money (for me anyway...like $200... :o ).  Look them up on line.

So, as far as a brush for washing painted vehicles, it may be that my face may be as delicate as the gel coat or paint?  Donno...but I'll ask

Peter

ps  Let us know where you are...and how that Aqua Hot is behaving.

(On edit)  Look at what a quick search revealed.

Hi Dick!  Great time with Peter, and he and I check progress daily at Xtreme. We off to Fullers with Cliff tomorrow. One thing I remember Dick that Rudy told us....there are two WashWaxAll products.  He said the red liquid one is much better for bugs than the standard blue version.  I looked for that in a small spray bottle, have not found it yet but only looked one place where they were out of the blue.  He said to spray it on, wait about ten minutes and wipe the bugs off.  At least that is what I think he said though I fear I am dreaming, cannot be so easy.......

Okay...This morning I spoke to Rod Grimmett owner operator of Precision in Nac.  The verdict on hogs hair brushes is...go for it.  The softer the bristles the better.  Use plenty of water to wash off the soapy solution and keep the brush clean so as not to keep putting on the dirt you took off.  Only use an auto mobile formulated car wash product for washing.  And as some of you know use a Dawn type dish washing liquid if you want to strip the wax off (you really should not use wax on paint, but okay on gelcoat.
