It's called "Totally Awesome" I just bought some at Dollar Tree.
Do a google search they have a link on their web side for dealers.

Got it at Dollar General. I cleaned the trailer last week and it takes all the tree stuff off. Makes it feel smooth again.

It comes in a clear plastic spray bottle w/ red lettering, but the liquid is a yellowish color. Might help you spot it on the shelf.

I used a sponge mop with a long handle worked good. Rinsed with the pressure washer.

forgot to add do not let it stay on surface . do small sections and rinse immediately. if not the Awesome will leave marks of it's own.

I have one of those brushes that the hose hooks to and the soap is pickup by the water as it passes through.

thanks for the heads up on the ins and outs of this stuff.

The Totally Awesome does a great job....for best results try not to wash it in direct sunlight and as stated do one panel at a time....also make sure if it gets on any glass surface to rinse with water immediately.....unless your trailer is covered in black streaks I would dilute it 50/50....I found that washing it more frequently with a diluted solution produced the best results

yes, just do not let it dry on the surface, it will leave it's own streaks and dull the finish.


Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.
