Is TSP okay for roof and exterior cleaning?
Hi all y’all,
I’m finally about to set out on my adventure in about 10 days. I purchased my RV in April from a dealer, so it looked pretty good. It’s been sitting for the past 6 months and now it’s in desperate need of a good pre-adventure cleanup. Folks have said to use Spic & Span on the roof, which I haven’t been able to find in the San Marcos area where I’m currently living. I used TSP to clean the cigarette smoke film from the rigs interior. Would TSP be good to clean the roof (and the rest of the exterior). I’m asking because my rigs a Holiday Rambler with an aluminum skin and I’ve heard that TSP can react with aluminum (though the rig is painted of course). Any suggestions? For now I’m simply planning a scrub-down and wax job. My main concern is to not be hassled when I relocate by having a dirty shabby looking rig. Though I’m great at maintaining mechanicals, washing and cleaning not so much. However, I do run my car through the car wash every 6 months, whether it needs it or not. The problem is it invariably rains within hours of washing the car, so whytheheck did I bother to wash it in the first place!

PS I read somewhere that TSP was the active ingredient in Spic & Span.
