I'm not Eagle, but I'll throw my two cents in on this. First of all, waxing, detaailing and specifically this whole idea of waxing the decals is a real hot-button subject on a lot of RV forums, so you'll get all manner of comments. So take my comments as just one of many....right, wrong or otherwise.
I wax my trailer two or three times a year. I use either turtle wax ( because it's cheap and seems to work ok ) or any one of several Meguiers products thaat I have around ( that's what I use on the trucks and cars ). I use power buffers ( I use both a DA and rotary ) to apply and remove wax on the trailer. The wax goes right over the decals. Trailer is coming up on five years old, and the decals look fine and the trailer looks basically as new.
At the resort in Arizona where I winter, a lot of the folks there have these guys come out and wash/wax/detail their RV's. Every single one of these guys I have watched, wax right over all the decals, even on high end fifth wheels and motorhomes. The most popular way that I see these guys doing this work is to apply with a DA, and polish off by hand. This seems to be the best way to get a "very thin" coat of product on the surface.
That's my two cents on it
