Holy crap I spent 2 days working on this thing and there must be an easier way! I used an electric buffer with a very mild trizact polish and it came clean but I was wondering what you guys use. I have some of that streak remover and it did not work for me. take a look. I havent cleaned the outside in a couple years and did not realize how dirty it was until I cleaned a spot and then it was too late...

Purple Power from autozone/advance cant remenber which one. It works like a charm. Spray it on, let it sit a few, a little elbow greese and it takes that black crap right off.

here is a pic I took for someone a while back while cleaning mine.

I use some stuff you get at the Dollar stores called "Simply Awesome", and it is!

It's cheap too, about $4 a gallon.

The black streaks practically fall off the trailer.

I'm going to have to clean my trailer again pretty soon also, if I can get it out of the cow pasture.

Go to the dollar store and buy some Awesome. It cleans better than purple power and does not have lye in it.

Streak B Gone, is the name of the stuff, company is out of Georgia, stuff works, we tried everything. THE STUFF WORKS!!
I sell trailers for a living by the way. I've rubbe out by hand before, no fun! A good coat of wa does keep the streaks from coming back as quick.

Same here --- this stuff just works. Wet down the trailer and then spray it with this stuff and use a long handled brush to just run across the trailer with hardly any effort and rinse. Looks like new and all streaks are gone Oh and real cheap too

Also remember to clean the roof, all the grime and pollution gets washed off when it rains and will re-stain your trailer. The doller store Simply Awesome is good stuff.

It's actually called "Totally Awesome" and it is the best cleaner out there for your trailer....BAR NONE IMO....it's $3.00 a half gallon at the "Dollar Store"

Your wasting your time if you didn't do the roof first, that's where all the black comes from.

Chris, like mentioned previously the "Awesome" product from the dollar store works well. A good coat of wax will help prevent some of the streaking in the future.
