Instead of paint, we got vinyl

Any tips on cleaning vehicles that are covered in vinyl? All the trucks (18 wheelers) and some of the small ones are covered in 3 layers of vinyl with vinyl graphics on top and some of them are starting to look a little oxidized now with age or is it just fading? SMR and DACP both leave very small scratches in the surface that look horrible but if indeed it is oxidized, will AIO do the trick since its chemical? All the trucks have a hard life 100K + a year and truck washes are a joke brushes are used from one truck to the next and all the soap and such are pretty harsh , so something that would withstand that (at least for a while) would be a big plus.

As stated the pressure washer may be too much pressure to try and clean them but then again that is what the use at the truck washes. regular washing will not bring the vinyl back to color and its really not just the decals but the whole truck. most of your trucks come in white and not to much of our truck are white just the hood (PC with SMR works well) but it is the dark blue and light blue that is giving me problems. I will let you guys know what works out.
