Reliable Cleaning Spray - INCREDIBLE

This is my third year with the camper and I have an aluminum siding 30 foot Summerland. I, like most everyone else, hate the black streaks that happens on the front and side of the camper. I've tried many different cleaners, including Camco's Black Streak Remover.

My dealer recommended that I try a cleaning solution called "Reliable". I bought a bottle and cleaned a spot on the side of the trailer. All the black streaks wipe right off. I couldn't believe it! If anyone else is having problems finding a good cleaner, give Reliable a try. Now if I can only get the wife to help me clean the entire trailer. :B

    Based on your post I went out today and bought a 32 oz bottle to try. I will let you know my results.

    Simple Green in spray bottle(diluted) works great for all exterior cleaning, including black streaks and road tar.

    Thanks for sharing - now tell me where you got it! Please?


    I got my bottle from a local RV dealer in Thurmont, MD named Beckley's RV Center. I'd imagine most RV dealers will have it, as one of the very first things listed for applicable uses is the black streaks on RV's and campers. If you can't find it local, you can order online. Their website is www.reliableproductsonline.com

    Mosseater - It wipes right off without much elbow grease at all. I was spraying directly on my camper instead of wetting the rag with the solution though. Needless to say, hardly any real work involved.

    Is this what you are talking about? I have been looking for a good cleaner that wont oxidize my aluminum. I may have to try this.

    That is exactly the stuff I'm talking about. I only got the spray bottle so that I can try it out. I'll be buying the gallon refill next time for sure.

    I have been singing the praises of this product for a long time. Tell us, do the black streaks just wipe off without effort??
    (Yes! they do!)
    After the cloth is slightly saturated, you don't even need to spray much after that. A great product.
