Best way clean 5th wheel

[83trekker]

So a lot of my 5th wheel especially around edges with the puddy stuff is and silicone have a lot of black streaks on them. The front cap has so many dead bugs and dirt. I have tried bug be gone and other stuff but it doesn't really work well.

What does every body use that actually does work really well? Thanks

Works fine for graphics and also for window glass. And it works very nicely on my truck. I did my 30 ft TT in about 2 hours.

Very nice, I would assume you have full body paint, no graphics ?? Yes I ordered the gallon, with the quart squirt bottle ,and the towels.

Just wondering if its okay for graphics, but it does say UV protection, so assuming its okay on the graphics .

Just reviewed some I ordered , heard good things about it .

I just finished using that on my Redwood, been using it since 2012..Get either the 8 oz or the 16 oz, very easy to use..

I do not use it if the RV has a lot of road grime or dirt... Usually, I will wash first, air dry then use wash wax all when that is the case..

I use Love Bug Eraser on the bugs and regular washing and waxing keeps the streaks to a minimum.

WD-40 will work on the bugs and LA Totally Awesome works for the black streaks. Scrubbing Bubbles works on the black streaks too. Then wash afterwards to get the residue off. There's no easy way to do it.

I like the dryer sheets idea, prob here in Canada you americans have so much access to so many products we dont have up here. Also i have to take this to the car wash and luck if you a minute here for a dollar so i'm going to try and scrub and pre soak as much as i can before it goes to the sprayers.

I use my pressure washer with the Ryobi Foamer attachment.

Ryobi Pressure Washer Foam Blaster

I use the Blue Coral Foam Car Wash not the Ryobi soap because it is to expensive.

Blue Coral High Foam Car Wash Concentrate

I spray the soap on let it sit for a few minutes or so and then go over it with a long handled car wash brush. I can get it really clean in less than an hour. If I have any black streaks I spray them first with the Awesome cleaner and let it sit for awhile and then wash with the foaming soap. I rinse with the pressure washer using the foam attachment as it is low pressure and won't damage the finish. The attachment has a lever that controls if you want soap or just plain water.

I can actually do this in the storage yard using my generator and onboard water tank. My pressure washer is electric. By doing this frequently I don't have many issues with black streaks or bugs etc..

Drier (wet) sheets to remove bugs.

I've used Awesome Cleaner with great results. Works well on black streaks and difficult stains.
