White Streaks Down the Side of Coach

The water running from the roof of my coach from the air conditioner and from rain leaves white streaks down the side of it. I've tried RV soaps but I can't seem to remove them. My coach is full body paint. Has anyone found a way to remove them?

  • Use 3M rubbing compound with a microfiber rag. Or if you have a buffer use that.

    Maybe too well. I used one on a blue car once and the Magic Eraser turned blue, which I assume meant it was taking the paint off. Fortunately, it was just a little test spot, but I would never use one on my RV.
  • you can get gutter spouts/extenders that take the flow of water off your coach:

    We have them and have no problems with the black streaks anymore. Very easy to put on too. I concur with the recommendation for using Magic Eraser. Works incredibly well!
  • that is bleed of from your roof. Easiest way I have found is light polishing compound followed by a really good wax job.
