I have washed and waxed my fifth wheel every year,but I still have trouble getting the ( silicone or whatever sealant they use) and the plastic moulding pieces cleaned. They get that black mildew looking stains on them, is there anything you guys have found that works. Thanks in advance.

This stuff is magic! My camper now looks brand new. I used a soft long needle brush to get into all the nooks and crannies.

Goo Gone wipes make the caulking white again. Been using them for years. However, recently I have had a hard time finding them though

Acetone takes care of it, also turns that yellow plastic back to white. Dries fast so you have to wet it often, also the rag gets dirty fast so you have to keep finding a clean spot. Wear gloves.

Purple Power, diluted. Also an excellent black streak remover and cleans the mold off awnings and toppers. It will remove any wax and protectants applied previously too, and why it's a great prep before the big chore. Rinse thoroughly after using too!

P.S., Have vinyl fence or gutters stained from roof run-off? You'll love Purple Power as it'll clean them beautifully! Sold at your local Walmart, auto parts store, and Amazon.

I have used this and it works really well even on the vinyl trim insert. Jomax I think you can find it at Home Depot or a similar big box!

Awesome is a really good cleaner but don't let it run down the side of your rig, tape paper towels or work towels underneath whatever you are cleaning. It etches your finish. I use it diluted.

Best solution I have found is dial up wash co when in an RV park about twice a year. They wash & wax and it looks good.

I've found simple green works. Might need a little scrubbing with a brush, but it gets the staining off.

Tiles works, but Clorox Cleanup works better.
