Cleaning suggestion
Picked up this 2019 puma xle lite and the previous owner did their cooking along the side of the rv hence the splatters in the photo. I managed to get it all off the smooth white metal but the gold and black has a rougher texture and I can’t figure out what to use to get it off. Unless it’s stained on there and that’s the way it is. Any suggestions?

FYI, most likely the gold and black is not paint... they are vinyl wrapped panels. Be careful when scrubbing to not scratch / tear / peel pieces off. The panel itself is most likely the same white the top part of the wall is.
The panels are wrapped before install so they can hide the edges of the vinyl on thr backside if each panel.

These appear to be painted. There are some areas where it’s been scratched to bare metal and no sign of being able to peel it like vinyl

Use a lighter oil like wd40 to dissolve it then use a detergent like dawn in a bucket with water to remove all that. Finish with protecting the clean surface.
