Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

Does anyone know of a good (and hopefully easy) cleaner for aluminum teardrops? We have some oxidation and black marks we are trying to get off our teardrop. It just looks dull and dirty.

The last one I did I used a SS cleaner and pad, sold by Scotchbrite, made for SS appliances. Seemed to do a good job, then I wiped entire surface with WD40.

I just polished up our aluminum bike rack using polishing compound. What you are doing is essentially using very fine abrasive to flatten out the natural/unnatural finish of the aluminum. What we used to do to polish metal samples for microscopic examination was progressively finer grades of sandpaper moving into polishing compounds ending with a 1 micron finish diamonds paste. What you're doing is needless to say much simpler and a great deal less expensive. Depending on what you use you can come up with a mirror finish, or something less than. What I used for the bike rack was polishing compound sticks that I got from Harbor Freight and a cloth polishing wheel.
