Just found a super easy way to take the black streaks off

Washed the trailer today,, had some black streaks that didn't wash off, grabbed a microfiber rag,,, sprayed some lemon pledge on it,, wiped over the black,, poof,, all gone,, I have metal siding on my trailer, but tried some on the trim around the windows.. came right off there too..Didn't want to use anything harsh, and take the wax off,, Not sure if this has been posted before,, but spring is here and camping season is too,, so didn't think it would hurt to post it.

    Scrubbing bubbles worked ok for me, but what really worked is a wax job using meguiars cleaner wax. I'll try the Mold Armor for black streaks too - plus my home shower. Mostly good reviews on amazon.

    Keep in mind that Magic Erasers are somewhat abrasive. I would be careful using them on many surfaces.

    Info:
    Melamine foam erasers work well; but on surfaces that are painted, polished or easily scratched, they might work a little too well. It's recommended to test the eraser on a small, preferably unnoticeable, portion of whatever you're looking to clean before you dive on in.


    I used one on the gel coat of our old camper, and it left shiny marks where I scrubbed EVERYWHERE! In the right light, it looked horrible. These things work well...too well. I'm not allowed near the camper with one.

    Mold Armor. Even the worst mold or black streaks you can spray it on and in 10 minutes wash it off without touching it.
