Try a "Bounce" sheet that DW uses to keep the clothes smelling clean in the dryer.
Just rinse the rig, then wipe with a new Bounce sheet.
Worked for me.

The key to keeping black streaks off your rig is to keep the roof clean,I've seen so many people clean the sidewalls but don't clean the roof. That is wasting your time, because if your roof isn't clean everything on the roof will come down on the sidewalls everytime it rains. Second, put wood close pins on your downspouts or get extensions, that will help push the dirty stuf from your roof away from your rig. everyone has there own method of cleaning there rigs, you will get many opinions on this, but, they do make a product for black streaks you can get at Campers World or any RV dealership or Walmart or Kmarts. Hope this helps

And do the roof first...or all that dirty water and crud will wash down over your clean sides.

Black Streak Remover will take them off, also you skin if you leave it on long enough.
Then a GOOD coat of wax 'cause it takes the wax off too.
After that keep your roof clean & you won't have streaks to begin with.

We have found that after you wash rig you wax it, that a good coat of wax makes a huge difference. We are
usng Meguiars Carnuba lots of work but well worth it. Also ditto on the roof washing...if you don't wash the top all the dirt wil make it down the sides.

Mr Clean Eraser mop head. Wet it then spray on a little multi-purpose cleaner. The long mop handle saves you from climbing a tall ladder.

We use Scrubbie Bubbles. Works great on black streaks. Just spray on and wipe off. Keeping the roof clean is also very important.
Good luck.
Journey On
