cleaning white molding on an rv

Is there an easy solution,We tried to replac white to black like all the newer ones have, no luck finding,So we got the new white, because of all the rain in area, within a week the started with mildew. What is the easiest to clean? Is something to seal or protect so it not repetitive?
Anyone been there done that? Advice please.
Thank You
  • The white molding around my pass-through storage is always getting mildew. I use Mold Armor on it and the awning. No scrubbing required. Spray on, let sit for a few minutes and hose off. Works great on the propane cylinder cover too. Find at Walmart, Home Depot or Lowes.

  • I found that using the Thetford Black Streak Remover which takes it off in a heartbeat not only cleans it, but it also prevents mold from from coming back so quickly even though you rinse it off.

    Don't know why but I've tried everything when I was parked down South and cleaning with this really did stop it from coming back. It must leave some sort of surfactant behind that prevents it.

  • You can apply a nano wax that will seal the surface. ProtectAll is one that can be applied to most any surface. I used Goof Off to clean the rubber/vinyl trim around the door on our previous MH. I believe it was the heavy duty or pro version not the standard stuff. A little bit of work but it did the job.
