Well the graphics dealer that installed the Montana graphics on my GMC has a bit different story about the peeling. Hand washing is the best way to clean the graphics but any road grit should be rinsed off before hand washing. Waxes and protectants are not necessary but will do no actual harm. Hi pressure washing and rough pads may do damage.
The peeling is caused by age and quality of the original graphics. Just a few years ago a graphic lasting 4+ years was about average. Today's graphics have improved but do not expect more than maybe 6 years.
Also note that graphic peeling is an RV industry problem and in no way related to just Keystone rigs. I have personally seen KZs, Cedar Creeks, Dutchmans and even a few of the 1/2 million dollar motor homes with shrinking or peeling graphics.

BTW-The graphics installed on my GMC are EXACTLY the same as the graphics on our new Monty as my graphics came direct from Montana the same month my Monty came off line.
