Cleaning black streaks
We have an aluminum siding travel trailer. We can't get rid of the black streaks. We have tried the LA Awesome cleaner with a pressure sprayer and had no luck. Any suggestions??

- Cold water Tide powder. Just add a 1/2 cup to a bucket of cold water, using a long handled car wash brush, soak the area, let sit for 10 minutes, reapply, let sit for a few more, then gently scrub with the car wash brush. Rinse and black streaks should be gone. I've used it for years. works great! Also, remember to wash your roof a few times a year to reduce the dirt that causes the black streaks. Use tide the same way.
- Ah yes, WD40 works well too. I forgot about that one. It also works well for removing tar splatters and anything oil related.

What ever you use you'll end up removing any wax you may have on it, so just be sure to re-wax the area after cleaning. - WD 40

Rob - I've heard one could use Naptha but I've not tried it.
- Mr. Clean magic eraser. Wipe wet, do NOT scrub. Test a small area first, if in doubt. Do not scrub. Wipe!
