- PadlinExplorerWhat kind of Bar Keepers, Spray & Foam, All Purpose Spray, or one of the soft cleanser? I've only used the dry cleanser.
- wcrobinsExplorerI just ran into the BEST way!!! DH was cleaning with official Black Streak cleaner. I got out my Bar Keepers Friend bottles and handed it to him to just try. It was amazing!!! No scrubbing!! He wiped it on, and wiped the black streaks off!!!

Anyone out here have a tip for removing the black streaks that all campers seem to get after sitting for a while?
I've tried:
Magic Erasers
Simple Green
Soap
Citrus cleaner
We use Awesome from the dollar store, puts to shame all the so called specialty products for black streaks.

Gotta be careful with Awesome. I used it on an older aluminum sided trailer that was also oxidized and if you let Awesome sit on the paint too long, it will actually dissolve the paint.
"Seconds" is how long it should be on the surface ;)
FYI. It did take Blue (only blue) off the swoops in our decals. Not enough to affect the decal, but enough to wipe onto the white fiberglass. Gotta be careful with stuff like that ;) - steve-n-vickiExplorerI know awesome does a good job removing wax , works good on soap scum on a bath tub too

- MagillaGorillaExplorerThanks all
- PadlinExplorerNo leaves on my roof, still get streaks. Thought once I got away from rubber roofs I'd be done with it, nope. It's just dirt and such on the roof, starts a week or 2 after washing it. I use Simple Green although Ive heard it takes off the wax too, if you wax.
I;ve wondered if it's worse on the east coast then the west.
