Best way to make white trailers white again?

Our 2011 Crossroads Zinger is starting to get dingy from years of towing, highway miles, and storage of the winter. Even with washing it a couple of times a year, it's still starting to get some of those gray/black streaks on it in areas.....and no amount of washing or scrubbing takes it off. It's especially bad on the front.

The only think I've found that works is buffing/polishing compound....but I'm not sure I want to waste an entire weekend buffing the whole trailer down.

Are there any cleaners/sprays out there that work to brighten up dingy white travel trailers?

Thanks!

    So, I tried simply green on my trailer.

    Except I accidentally grabbed Mean Green.

    The good news was the black streaks were gone. The bad news was it stripped and damaged the VERY thin paint in the small area I used the mean green.

    Mr Clean magic erasers also work well.,, just be careful, they can burn through the paint as well.

    Moral of the story... keep it clean, well maintained, but you can do more damage than good by excessive scrubbing on the thin aluminum sheet.

    Thanks,

    Jeremiah
