FWIW, didn't work too well for me. Cleans a lot of other stuff, but didn't do a thing to my baked on streaks. Only thing I found that did work (and not perfectly) was BioClean. That said, I do realize my streaks were extra stubborn. Never had a problem with my previous trailer.

Just curious, what are the black streaks from? All of the black streaks I get are on the slide outs from the black rubber gaskets. I keep a can of old fashion Zippo lighter fluid in my tool box. A little lighter fluid on a rag wipes those right off. Are these like black streaks from dirt coming off the roof when it rains?


Dirt and junk from the roof of the trailer, when you get home buy some roof cleaner for RV roofs and wash the roof. Note some RV roofs can not be walked on so MAKE sure yours can. I use a small stiff brush on a handle with a five gallon bucket and do a section at a time, working front to back. You can also buy gutter end extensions to keep the water away from the TT. Make sure to wash the gutter track out also. They tend to fill with dirt and will not flow, letting water wash down the side of the TT.

Chrysler the only one to pay back 100% of their loans from the Government. *The Old Car Company" still owes 1.6 billion. Is that better Chuckles

I let some run down the side one time and I guess I did not rinse good enough. Now I have a white streak through one of my decals. I also dilute with water before using. The ratios are still put on the bottles I think.


I did the same on just one of the plastic storage compartment doors. That was a couple years ago, it finally matches now.

I also used a magic eraser with the TA cleaner.

Rinse well and re=wax area cause it removes the wax and preservatives on the surface. Black Streaks remover contains chemicals and BLEACH, you can smell that.

I had recent great success with "Purple Power" from Walmart for $5.00/gallon. Great recommendation from some of you on the forum--thanks!!

I was careful to use it sparingly out of a spray bottle and to rinse heavily afterwards.

Also got my large bottle of "303" to use after Meguiars Marine & RV Cleaner Wax. Our Roo looked brand new when we sold it using just the Mequiars--even on the decals! But with our new TT I'm heeding the advice on here and using just the 303 on the decals.

You can use the 303 all over your trailer not just on the decals. A lot of us here just use 303 without using any wax.
