Those dang mineral streaks

[Gonzo42]

CLEANLINESS IS NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE !

Seriously, I have tried to scrub away the mineral streaks left by the rain, and particularly on the nose cone. I did not want to use anything abrasive, and tried a number of cleaners plus plenty of elbow grease.

Today I tried out something new for this. A cleaner called "Awesome". I comes in a spray bottle, and I already found it does a good job cleaning carpets of stains like oil, soft drinks, etc.

But, SURPRISE ! It cleans those mineral streaks with hardly any effort at all. I use the hard back of a sponge for scrubbing, and rinse it with clear water.

Its available at the 99 cent store and the Superior Grocery store, but may be available elsewhere. Normal is a spray bottle but gallon refills are also available.

My RV nosecone look better than ever.

Reliable RV Cleaner. Like magic.

OK, copy that!

A solution of ammonia will strip Zep wax off your fingernails or your RV.

Interesting. Where is ZEP available?

Wear gloves. The product flaked off my skin, but I have really shiny nails, daughter approved.

Also Lowe's. I think I paid about $15 for a gallon. ZEP is applied in thin coats and a gallon covers a huge RV with more coats than needed.

Used Awesome on my 1st wheel...…..an older Aljo……..black streaks all over and tried everything to get them off. grabbed some Awesome and they came right off with hardly and trouble...….then waxed the trailer and the streaks stayed away.

Just ZEP'd my travel trailer last weekend. Loved how easy it was to clean when I did it to my utility trailer.

Duly noted. Will proceed with caution. Thanx for the advice.

Try vinegar. The stronger the better.

Sure, and LA's Awesome will also destroy any graphics it touches. 😞
