Gutter drip streaks on glass and sides?

I have streaks on the side windows and side wall paint from the gutter drips when my A/Cs are running. I now have gutter extensions but need to remove existing streaks from windows and sidewalls. DW thinks "Lime-Away" should work on the glass, but what can I use on the paint on a three month old coach? Thanks for any replies!

  • Black streak remover from Walmart in the rv section works great. I have read on this forum that the orange cleaner from the dollar store works good, too.
  • using a spray on polish non abrasive any auto store or walmart will not hurt the paint. They do not recommend wax for 6 mo to allow paint to gas off these spray ons don't seal and only last a short time
  • Tiffin recommends that I don't wax for the first 6 months. I like the eraser on the glass-not sure about the painted sidewall.
  • We use a good auto wax too. Works great on our motorhome.

  • I have the same problem and all I ever do is use a good auto polish on the painted surface. And streaks are gone. I do try to keep those areas polished all the time for that very reason.
  • I've heard of all kinds of solutions, but for me, I use a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. Just wipe and do not press hard. Don't need to. Try a small area first. Easy and doesn't mess up paint, but will remove your wax. I wouldn't want to use Lime-away anywhere on the exterior of any RV, no matter what the skin is made of. Mr. Clean Eraser WILL work with no problems on your windows.
