Default Detailing a travel trailer

We just picked up a 26' travel trailer. It is about 2 years old but in need of a detail. It is the aluminum side panels with ridges and a rubber roof. I know this is going to be a painful experience. Although I want it to look great I am reluctant to use my Blackfire products and I am hoping to find a good one-step product with maximum durability. Also the caulking at the seams turns black fast, so I will be looking to clean those areas as well as treat all of the rubber gaskets. Any help would be appreciated.

So this will obviously setoff a debate, but in my detail shop we really like Z-AIO to clean up light aluminum oxidation and add a coat of durable polish.
We will use a PC-7624 with a mild polish pad. Not a severe cutting pad, but one that is a medium/light cut pad.

I curious why you are reluctant to use the Blackfire products? Their aluminum polishing products are exceptional. Obviously not a one-step product but the results are

Only due to the extra steps as it adds days on to the time instead of hours.

Blackfire offers an AIO product and a very good one. Its much more durable than others and has the easy to apply and remove deal. Very glossy too !
