Hello Loving Retirement,
I'm jealous! We have a white 2006 Leisure Travel Free Spirit. It has been in the Florida sun, so the vinyl and paint were oxidized.
The decals did leave shadows, but even then, it was in improvement. In fact, the paint that was under the decals was like new! So, we bought a Turtle Wax buffer and polishing compound (under $30 for both at WalMart). I went very easy, but the buffing did much to remove shadows and restore shine. I had never buffed a vehicle before so I did the minimum and will probably do it again. Right now, you have to be looking for the shadows to see them.
I used an auto body eraser wheel to remove most of the graphics. It did a great job and was a real time-saver.

Also replaced a tail lamp. That turned out to be rather easy to do as the instructions are right in the Mercedes Benz manual. What they don't tell you is what kind of screwdriver to use which I happened to have stored in the back door. It was not Phillips or Robertson. I forget the name but it is star shaped.

Correcto mundo! I just had a brain fart and didn't want to take the time to look it up as I was typing. It was there in the back door storage and I couldn't remember why (it was for the license plate) but having tools in both basement and garage and often going into a panic trying to gather the right tools that gets me cussing under my breath it was a pleasant surprise to find it right there at hand. It was all I needed except for the bulb which required a trip to the auto store.
