I put this here cause I figured that I would get the most responses here...If its the wrong place, my apologies.

I have an aluminum-sided travel trailer(2005) that is starting to show some wear. My question to you all is this. What cleaner have you guys used that gets the aluminum clean, without stripping the surface? I have some black streaks that do not come off and black streak remover doesnt work that well. I have heard to use simple green, but I also heard that it strips the surface and makes it dull.

Again, what have you guys used with success?

 

I have used Soft Scrub with good success, however I can see on the rag that some paint is removed. After cleaning, use a good wax or teflon so that it doesn't need cleaning too often.

 

I use Simple Green it works better then any black streak remover I've ever used and its cheaper. I use it straight and do small areas and rinse before it can dry on the trailer.Its almost effortless.

 

I have a aluminum enclosed car trailer, I use a car soap for every day cleaning, with regards to black streaks I'd use wd-40. WD-40 is great is removing black tar and glue from stickers. Just use and wash with no harm to your trailer.

 

I have used most everything, but RV-55 I bought online works better than anything I have ever used. Super Purple at Wal-Mart also works very good.

 

Thanks guys. I ended up using Simple Green and then used a liquid spray wax to make it shine. Simple green amazed me by taking off all the stains, the trailer looks brand new again.
