I won`t officially recommend it, but if it`s an automotive finish, S-100 motorcycle cleaner is great stuff. I don`t see why it wouldn`t work on a TT. I`ve been using it for many years on the same bike and it hasn`t degraded paint, plastic, rubber, foam, vinyl, aluminum, nothing I can think of. Same bike for almost 20 years. Takes road tar and bug juice off with very little effort. It is a little pricey so I wouldn`t try doing the whole trailer. Just my .02.

I keep hearing about black streaks. The only black streaks I have experienced came from the window rubber when the trailer was brand new. They washed off with just water and were no big deal. Are we talking about the same black streaks?

Lemon Pledge, or a comparable brand and a clean towel. It works fast, does not hurt the finish and smells great too Works fine on Aluminum or fiberglass. Have used it for years and streaks come off easier than when using cleaners. I use it when at a CG and I see a black streak staring at me. Well better to have streaks on your camper than in..... well.. never mind.

Awesome. I abought six bottles so we could clean the trailer. It was a mistake. We used two and about 1/3.
The first time we used Awesome we ran out of the expensive RV stuff and had such a small section to do that I though I would try the Awesome, we have never gone back.

I've tried the Mr Clean Erasers, but they didn't work the way I wanted them to. I just use the Wal Mart Black Streak Remover and it works fine.
