Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Black streak removal
Permalink  

Hello,
I am new here so please bear with me. This subject may have been addressed before. I bought a 1995 fleetwood wilderness travel trailer. There was the black streaks down the sides. I lightened them up by problably 90% on 3 sides using purple power and a brush. It hardly even changed the back. I took it camping a couple of weeks ago and someone told me to get roof cleaner and it would take the streaks off. I tried today a combo of purple power, clorax, and ajax. This still only lightened them about 50%. Has anyone tried the roof cleaner on these black streaks. Thanks

One thing that will for sure remove the black streaks is Awesone Cleaner from Dollar Tree Stores. It costs a buck. But, and it is a big BUT, all wax goes with the Awesome Cleaner. Spray it on straght and rinse off. Extra bad streaking will require a bit of elbow grease, but not much.

Thanks I will pick some up tomorrow. I think the wax has been gone for some time on this unit. I plan on waxing after getting rid of the streaks.

I’ve used a product for years that works easy and doesn’t seem to take any wax off, nor does it require any real elbow grease.  Spray on, wipe off.  It’s called: “Black Streak Remover.” 

Got it at Camping World 3 years ago and have no idea what it costs because I haven’t used the container up.  It comes in a sprayer with 32oz of product.

Works for me

Bill

I also have used the awesome cleaner, only I was not smart enough to know when to stop scrubbing and the results are several spots that are bare metal. I ended up "spot painting" those areas.

Thanks for the suggestions. I picked up some Awesome cleaner yesterday and used it. It removed all the black streaks, there are some shading where the streaks were so I guess you would call them streaks just not black so much better. I will get some wax on it first chance I get. Thanks again for the tips.
Ben
