Streaks

Ok guys and gals, we have those ever pesky streaks all over the trailer. I bought the black streak remover but it didn't seem to touch them. Is there a home brew or a better product out there that actually works? I have the aluminum siding, not the flat fiberglass.

    Mr. Clean Magic Eraser works very well. Works great on your awning too. Remember, make it wet an wipe ... don't scrub. Wipe off with a dry cloth. If it's still there, simply wipe again. Don't scrub. Mr. Clean Magic Eraser works on everything in your camper. We go through a few dozen of them every year, just for the camper. They are great on the wheels too! Not to mention your automobile and those road tar spot. Now, granted WD40 works great on those road tar spots, but follow up with a Mr. Clean and you have the best of the best!

    Heard about this and how great it is....didn't work for us. Awesome works but takes repeats but removes the clear coat over the paint.
    Our streaks are caused by an aluminum powder/grit that forms on the seals. This in turn leaves streaks from opening and closing the camper.
  • Whatever cleaning product you use, try using it with a automotive microfiber cloth, it helps...
    Also to prevent black streaks or limit them, keep your roof clean, this is the main source of black streaks

  • I use Awesome from the Dollar Tree. Nothing better. Just spray on and wipe off. P.S. It also removes the wax, so will have to be re-waxed after treatment.
