I WENT ON AN ESTIMATE TODAY AND LANDED A HOUSE JOB BUT CUSTOMER ALSO WANTS ME TO POWER WASH A TRAILER. THE TRAILER IS WHITE AND HAS BLACK LINES RUNNING DOWN THE SIDES OF IT. ITS SIZE IS 6X12. WHAT SHOULD I USE TO CLEAN IT:confused: ? IT KIND OF LOOKS THE SAME WAY GUTTERS GET AFTER A WHILE WITH THE LINES. ALSO, WILL I HAVE TO SCRUB IT:confused: ?
 
i would like to try gutter zap, but i dont have time to order it, the job has to be done tomorrow.
 
Mike Goto Walmart And Look In The Marine Boating Section. They Have A Spray Bottle Of Black Streak Remover. Thats What Its Called Black Streak Remover. Its A White Bottle And It Has A Black And Red Front Label. It Takes The Black Streaks ,oxidation Off And Dosent Hurt The Finish One Bit. Only Prob Is That Its Time Consuming. You Spray It On And Wait 30 Seconds Then Wipe With A Wet Soft Sponge Or Sheaps Skin Cloth. You Cant Let It Dry So You Have To Do Sections At A Time. And You Have To Rinse Very Well.

This Stuff Works Awsome But Its Gonna Take Some Time. Its The Only Stuff That I Could Find Local That Will Actually Get The Black Streaks Off This Fast.

Hope This Helps. And Dont Use A Brush It Will Scratch !
 
i'll check the walmart here but i dont think they have a marine boating section. somebody a while ago told me about how good spray nine is on gutters, maybe that will work.
 
I Definitely Will Let You Know How The Job Goes.
 
Simple Green, applied with a soft-bristled brush and rinsed asap will remove the streaks. I have an RV park that has me out occasionally, so I know this will work. The stronger your mix, the faster it works. At full strength, it hardly needs to be brushed.

Beware, if there is a stripe/decal, it may lose some color. They oxidize badly and bleed like heck. I brush them first, so that they don't streak. When dry, it looks great.
 
I Finished The Trailer A Little While Ago And It Came Out Pretty Good. I Used Some Soap And I Had To Scrub. The Whole Job Took About An Hour And I Definitely Under Estimated It. I Had To Scrub Then Rinse And Repeat. I DEFINITELY WOULD HAVE TRIED THE SIMPLE GREEN BUT IT WAS TOO LATE BY THE TIME I SAW THE RECOMMENDATION. THANK GUYS. SOMEONE ELSE RECOMMENDED BLACK STREAK REMOVER FROM WALMART BUT I DONT THINK THEY HAVE A MARINE BOATING SECTION WHERE I AM LOCATED. THANKS FOR YOUR ADVICE TOO.
