Cleaning Exterior Cheap and very effectively.

[Genesun]

Just wanted to share my experience.
My roof had lost much of the white coating and I decided to coat it. After cleaning with TSP I had a helluva mess. Siding was covered in black streaks and spots.
I coated the roof with Henry's Tropi-Cool 887 which is recommended for EPDM and TOP. It has proven to be great BTW.
After the roof had cured for several days I started on the siding. Nothing would take the black off. Even 20 buck a quart stuff from the RV store only did a mediocre job.
A friend told me about a product called Awesome Cleaner and Degreaser from all places Dollar Tree.
It was actually a dollar for a 20oz spray bottle so I picked up a couple not expecting any decent results.
I started with a small test area and sprayed it on till wet and waited a few minutes. The black started dissolving immediately. After lightly brushing it with a soft bristled brush and rinsing it was like new. My trailer looks like it came right off the lot.
Since then I've tried it on vinyl siding, a friends fiberglass fifth wheel and whitewall tires and several awnings. This stuff is amazing.
I am not affiliated with Awesome products or Dollar Tree. I have no idea whats in it although it says it's bio-degradable and made in USA.
I'm not endorsing this product. Only relaying my own experience.
You should probably do a test spot to make sure it works for you.
I did find it in quart refill size bottles with no sprayer for the same price.

It did strip the wax and it did take the oxidized paint off but that black wasn't coming off with anything else. Man. I must have spent 60 bucks and hours scrubbing to no avail before trying this stuff. If I have to I'll spray a coat of clear on it. My rig is 15 years old and hasn't been this clean in 14 of those.
It didn't affect the vinyl stickers or stripes on my trailer other than clean them.
I'm sure it's some kind of alkali cleaner though so it's probably not for everyone.

I've been using that for years. It's the best bang for your buck.

Awesome takes off a layer of finish every time you use it. You're right though it takes off black marks, bug stains, bird dropping stains, etc but is taking off the factory finish that cannot be restored with conventional wax.

For our roof I use a squirt of Dawn dish soap in a few gallons of hot water. it cleans the roof very well. I got this advise off the site of a roof material mafg.

Read the bottle. It should be diluted but this stuff IS Awesome.

I've used it on our MH. It works good and had no ill affects on the vinyl graphics. That's my experience.

Truer words were never spoken - cleans really well but will strip the surface of all protection and eats vinyl graphics for breakfast. :M Used it on our previous K-Z Spree, won't ever use it again on any RV. JMO. 😉
