Black streak remover is the only thing that completely removes them. If you have already waxed you will need to reapply the wax.

After you get rid of them wash your roof, then wash it again before putting it to bed for the winter. That will minimize the black streaks.

Good advise on the roof wash. I had not thought to do that but it make so much sense.

Start off with washing your roof first... THEN start in on the black streaks removal. Polish /buff then a good couple of coats of wax...

I use LA's Totally Awesome cleaner that I get at the Dollar Tree store. I've tried lots of other cleaners and I haven't found anything that works any better. The best part is that it only costs $1.00.

Spray on, wipe off with clean cloth. Or spray cloth and wipe off.

BEST I've found!

My wife gave me some H2o cleaning products and I laughed at her. Sure enough I tried it and they came off with ease. Simple pad that you get wet and rub on this clay bar thinger

My RainKap system stops 100% of black streaks from roof runoff. It also prevents/reduces greatly any black streaks from things like windows or wall fixtures even after 6 to 8 months between normal washings.

I bought some Black Streak Remover at Walmart, and they came right off. I thought they were caused by one of the caulks or sealants that are used.

If you cover the RV there should not be any or many black streaks. IMHO they come from leaves that fill the drain channels on the roof and the runoff stains the walls. The cover keeps the leaves out.

I understand what your saying BUT this advice after the black streaks are already there is like when someone with a sun burn asks for aloe and you say "if you had stayed out of the sun you would not need aloe"
