Streak remover

Does anyone know of a product that removes streaks from 5th wheels due to weather or or is there a house hold product that can be made up and to remove black spots from the rubber slide outs,
Thank you.

    The front of my 5er was still covered with Az. bug carcasses from last Dec.. I used a pressure washer to remove most of them and then I went in the house and found a Magic Eraser. NOTHING has ever worked faster or easier and it did no damage... just let the critters presoak a while.
    Then I went down the side and instantly removed all the black road splatter and grimy streaks.
    Any rough scrubbing will remove the wax but us RVers love to wax our second homes! Right? Craig


    Every time I use Magic Erasers, they amaze me !

    Did you dilute it before using it?


    It was diluted, but maybe not enough. The problem is finding just what ratio might work is a guessing game while experimenting and causing damage.

  • I tried the Totally Awesome on my enclosed car trailer, it caused some awful streaks but removed the crud. I had to quit immediately and was not able to undo the damage. Don't use it without first testing a small area, that stuff can remove paint and all. I then did the entire trailer with Nu Finish and that took considerable work and still didn't clean well. Nu Finish is best used on a new trailer and never allow it to completely deplete.
  • You can get LA's Totally Awesome Oxygen Orange Cleaner at Dollar Tree or, for more, at Amazon. Great for streaks, however it does remove wax.
