black streaks

[jbmoo]

I might not be posting this in the proper place, if not, I apologize. I have tried several products when washing my fw, however have had very little success removing streaks. I have fiberglass sides on my 04 hr savoy. I try to keep it spotless, but nothing I have tried works. any suggestions would be appreciated.

white sidewall cleaner works great and no scrubing. But it will take off the wax

My first 5ver had some bad black streaks.....tried everything to get them off including the "special" black streak remover. Would not work. Then tried Awesome.....came right off......waxed afterwards and still looked great after a couple of years.

I've used camco, thetford, and all other brands. The one that works best for both me and my parents is made by a company called crown. I get it at Menards. Actually was in the other day and they were clearance them out as they don't' sell enough of it. bought every bottle for $2.50 each.

I use the stuff that Wally World has on the shelf in the RV section.

No need to use a harsh cleaner like awesome, or black streak remover. And then have to wax anyway. They will just wax off with cleaner wax, ONE step, and done. Works great. And fiberglass sides are super easy to wax.
Again. Keeping a good wax job on the RV, Makes removing the streaks a breeze.

X3--- AND keep the roof clean.. That's where the black streaks start....

Simple green followed by a wash works great.

I'm doing my 5er now. I used the stuff from CW but it did not cut it. I searched the web and saw the above you tube video using LA's Totally Awesome All Purpose Cleaner. It only costs a dollar at Dollar Tree for 32oz. I was skeptical, but it really works. The guy in the video used a scrubby sponge and the cleaner full strength , very little scrubbing, then wiped it with a wet rag. Then he dried it with a clean rag.

Forget all the over the counter house cleaners. They don't work and can harm RV gelcoat finishes.

They make an RV cleaner specifically for 'black streaks' on RV's.

IT works period.
And guess what? It's called "RV Black Streak Remover"!!!:B

Can be found at any camping store, rv dealership and even some walmarts.
Camco Full-timers Choice RV Black Streak Remover.

x2 on the simple green followed by washing. works great. works well on rims too.

[Halmfamily]

Demco Black Streak remover works good for me. The areas that streak the most I put extra wax on. I hear that magic erasers work to. Good luck

I have had excellent success with Simple Green 'Automotive'.

Get yourself some of the little gutters, that keep the roof runoff off of the sides of the 5er.
