What to use to clean oily film on outside of 5th wheel
Hello,
Due to health issues our 5th wheel has been in storage for almost two years. It was in an outdoor lot that the land owner started leasing space to the Marcus Shale companies here in SW PA. The owner cancelled all RV leases to focus on the Marcus Shale so I have my RV here in my driveway.
I think the trucks running around have left an oily black specked film all over the outside of the RV. I kept my roof vents open for fresh air and the inside had a film on everything inside. I suspect that this might be from the diesel exhausts from all the trucks. We went from around 10 trucks to well over 150 on the lot. We cleaned the inside with Dawn dish soap and Magic Eraser and are making progress.
My question is the outside. I tried the Dawn on a small section and it took some of the oily feel off but still looks dirty / oily.
Can anyone recommend a cleaner that can be used to get all the dirt / oil off? I know that once the dirt is off there will be elbow grease required to get it white again. I used Bar Keepers Friend in the past but with that oily residue I don't think it would work very well.
I have a pressure washer and was thinking about spraying it using the soft soap setting with some Purple Krud Cutter but don't want to damage anything
Thanks in advance for your advice!
Dave
