Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / RVs / May 2006black streak remover
Yep I'm in the middle of learning a lot. Couple of years back I bought a white trailer. At the time Pace made a real good black streak remover. It was horsepower stuff. Had to work small areas at a time and the area better be well ventilated as it would take your breath away. But the stuff worked!!! It might have been strong, you had to wear gloves but it worked. Recently I ran out of the original bottle so this time I bought 2 bottles of what I thought was the same stuff. Little did I know they changed the formula. Now it smells sort of citrus, is pale yellowish orange and doesn't work for squat. Really a waste of time, effort, and money. So before I make another bad purchaser what are most people using? I need something that works! I use Comet cleanser and a vegetable scrub brush. Mix with elbow grease (aka. hard work) and apply. Tim > Yep I'm in the middle of learning a lot.

I bought a cleaner at WalMart last year that worked with minimal scrubbing...it came in a pump spray bottle, you simply sprayed it on and sponged the surface and it came very clean. Remember, the black streaks come from the roof. If you don't clean the top first, it will streak again after the next rain. > Yep I'm in the middle of learning a lot.

The best thing to use on black streaks everywhere, but your underwear is WD-40. Squirt, wipe, gone..

They'll rinse right off. Otherwise, a Bounce dryer sheet dipped in soapy water has worked well for us. <G> I see where Rich <nobody@nowhere.com> contributed: Jim: >>> Black streaks are easy to remove compared to T-h-e L-o-v-e B-u-g.

Free tips for all: "Black Streaks" are nothing more or less than DIRT. Any suitable detergents with the requisite amount of elbow grease will remove them. You do NOT need "Black Streak Remover". Once you realize how tough it is toget rid of the stains, you will start using a good WAX. Once the rig is properly waxed, streaks accumulate more slowly and can be wiped off with ease. Wax is also the secret to Love Bug removal. You may, if you wish, smear your rig with all sorts of concoctions intended for other purposes, but IMO wax is the Right Stuff. Will Sill The Curmudgeon of Sill Hill > You may, if you wish, > smear your rig with all sorts of concoctions intended for other > purposes, but IMO wax is the Right Stuff. We wax our rig only annually. The one time in 5 years I was annoyed by a black streak on the side, up near the roof line, I just used more cleaner wax to remove it...came right off, and left that area waxier too.

I've found a coat of good wax applied once or twice a year and then Tilex to clean it as needed works for me. I have been using a couple different citrus degreasers during the past couple of years with good success. I think one of the is a 409 product. Works well fof streaks and for cleaning the roof membrane. After cleaning with the citrus, I follow up with a normal wash/wax concentrate in water (Turtle or similar). My dealer said this routine was as good as using some of the high-priced products for RVs. Ron |
