Same thing as I use on my roof (Simple Green or Purple Power, bleach, car wash mixture)

Check it out: http://www.jaycoowners.com/forums/f7...tml#post384932

Also works great on the awning. For the roof I let it sit for at least 5 mins before I start scrubbing and rinsing.

In a 5 gallon bucket, roughly 1/4 cup of simple green or purple power concentrate, same amount for the car wash, and not even half that much bleach, then fill with 3-4 gallons of water.

I bought a black streak remover off amazon and it works great..If you go with simple green which is a good cleaner just make sure its diluted pretty good like other poster mentioned.To strong could strip any wax or leave a haze

I buy Totally Awesome at most any Dollar Store. in the cleaning products aisle. It is Cheap and effective. It can be diluted to make any strength you need. It wipes black streaks off handily. Also use it to clean grills.

As with all the products mentioned, using the full strength will remove any wax on the sides so make sure you rinse well.

I like a product called "Spray Power" I use it full strength. It works great, even the bugs slide right off the front cap.

A Mr. Clean "Magic Eraser" will remove black streaks. Takes a little elbow grease, but does a good job w/out damaging the finish.

I use Simple Green concentrate, I mix it in a pump / pressure sprayer. Make sure you spray the roof with each cleaning let sit for a few and rinse. then spray the sides and wash. This keeps the black streaks off mine.
