Streak marks below water heater box on exterior
Hi all,
Wondered if anyone else has experienced this..... I have water streaks below the metal heater cover on the exterior of our 3610RL. I tried cleaning it off with wax, without success. The moisture has marred the surface of the striping just below the exterior heater cover box. Frustrated!

I have the same thing its from the pressure relief valve dripping and the streaks are from hard water stains. I have not had any luck removing them ether.

Try wiping with Apple Cider vinegar, depending on how thick it usually dissolves the build up, my wife uses it on all our water issues, sometimes 2 or 3 applications.

try turtle wax rubbing compound (in the green can) and don't feel bad about using some elbow grease with it .may take a few times but it worked for me.

Thanks everyone, however, I may have provided incorrect info. The streaks are actually below the metal cover for the heater(below the exhaust port or vent) NOT below the water heater. Wondered if anyone else had that issue.
Thanks!

Prior to replacing our leaking water heater several years ago, when it was leaking, water would migrate over to the furnace and run out under it and down the outer wall of the rig.
