Finally comin' down to cleanin' up the exterior. Nearly 5 years worth of baked-on black streaks were
a MAJOR pain! Tried several things before hitting on the right one.
First, I tried PURPLE POWER... it worked somewhat, but not NEARLY well enough.
Then I read on some website where they suggested WD-40, of all things. WD-40?!!! WHAT?!! I was pretty
sure that this would be a total waste of time, & I was right. It did NOTHING WHATSOEVER.
Then I tried Billy Mays' KABOOM... another TOTAL failure which did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
For my 4th attempt, I pulled out the CLOROX CLEANUP... pretty powerful stuff with bleach, which usually does
the trick when others fail, but surprisingly, even THAT was a failure, making very little difference at all!
The 5th & final solution was a $1.00 bottle of AWESOME from Dollar General, applied full strength. Even though
I still had to scrub a good bit, & go over the whole thing twice, it took off all of the black streaks & everything
else, along with all of the shine of course, but I already expected that. At least the darn thing is finally white
again! Now, all I have to do is go back & wax the whole trailer, & she should be lookin' pretty good once again!
More pics coming after the wax job....
When all is said & done...
a lot more gets SAID than DONE!
