Black streaks

[KyleC]

Hello all, looking for some pointers on how to get the black streaks off the travel trailer. We have a 2016 prowler 25lx with the aluminum siding looking sides. Tried the the camco black streaks remover to no avail. Any suggestions?

And use a Magic Eraser sponge with it. Gets the black streaks and tree sap off.

If the streaks are from your slide gaskets, rubbing alcohol and a paper towel work great.

We don't have a slide but it is pretty uniform all the way around. Of course under windows is worse though. Thanks for the input!

Many times the Black Steaks originate from the Rubber Roof. You can minimize these Steaks by washing the Rubber Roof. - buying some time on the sides where its more noticeable.

Be be very careful using a magic eraser on the side of your trailer,whether aluminium siding or fibreglass,the magic eraser wilI MAR the finish very badly..use some Mr Clean and water to remove the streaks.Then polish your unit ,this will seal the siding and all future streaks will be much to be easier to remove.

Could be that mine is not full paint and gel coat. And it’s older than a lot of the rigs I see on the forums. So long as it’s white and clean, I’m a happy camper.

X2 on WD40

I use this to remove the few black streaks we get and the rubber left behind by the slide seals rubbing the slides while bouncing down the road.

Bugs N All works great for me. Like it to get the bugs off the front cap also.

Quite possible but mine is not that new either lol and it is not full body paint but is brown fiberglass. Oh well.

Looked mine over again and don’t see any scratches. I find the Magic Eraser especially effective on the caps to get the stuck on grime/sap/bugs off. Brushes don’t touch that stuff. I don’t use them dry but with a mix of RV Wash & Wax.

We’re not talking about the ones with the scrubber pad on one side, are we?

I have been using MEGUIAR'S Ultimate Compound on the black streaks on our BH. It doesn't damage the finish at all and does a great job on the streaks. I originally got it to repair minor scratches to our vehicles, and tried it on the trailer. I also wash and wax fully twice a year and haven't had much trouble with streaking. Not a fan of Magic Erasers on polished finishes.
