We have a 2006 towable, bought it used, has the white fiberglass sides.....

Trying to figure out what everyone uses to wash it? Regular soap/mitt seems fine for the worst of the surface dirt, but doesn't see to remove bird******or tree berry stains etc very well, or dirt that's really set in.

Would something more harsh like an Acetone be too corrosive on there, or any other ideas?

Thanks much

Try Awesome from the dollar store. Works really well on black streaks. Might want to dilute it with water and not use full strength. Good stuff and only a dollar.

To wash and wax do a search for Red Max Pro here on the forums.

I use a couple different items. Usually a RV or car wash soap, sometime mixed with a little dish detergent to cut the grime (if necessary). Also while washing I spray Simple Green on the area to enhance the cleaning & that usually helps alot. I get the bugs off the front by wetting a dryer sheet & rubbing the area a little at a time untill there gone, be sure not to let the residue from the dryer sheet dry on the front cap as that creates a whole new problem. For black streaks I use a product made to get to get them off available at camping world or walmart

For the money I used to take my TT to Iowa80 truck wash. They will get it all off. The soap the use takes everything but the paint. Wax included. They will hot wax it on the way out but will give you a place to start. All for less than $50. My company gets there trucks washed there every week and they look great. Thats how I found them. If you have aluminum wheels have them do the alumabright on them they to will shine.

Nice I just tried it out for a small section and it works great (awesome). I assume you just rinse it off with water, or soap/water?
