I've used simple green to clean the white panels. Requires some sit time and elbow greese.

I've not tried this but I've been told to head over to a truck wash ( big rigs) and the stuff they use said to be great!

Soft Scrub works very well, have used with success in the past....

Take it to a truck wash. You can usually find one near a truck stop. It's easy, it's inexpensive, and they do a hell of a good job getting the black streaks off. We were amazed how good the trailers looked when we took them there.

We have had success also using Aluminum Brightener. But you have to be really careful not to mix it too strong. Probably about a pint in a 5 gallon bucket of water. It gets the white aluminum looking like new but if you get it on the diamond plate and its mixed too strong or allowed to sit there too long it can discolor it.

SK Speed in Long Island makes a metal polish called Brooklyn Ball Buster. It works surprisingly well and it is easy to use.

go to RV section at Wal-Mart or a camper store and get some black streak remover. It takes that stuff right off

Have used RV black streak remover,works best when panels are damp and then spray on, clean with long brush and rinse.
