Exterior Cleaning

I've been looking for the best cleaner I can get for the outside of my travel trailer. My brother bought a TT this year and naturally they had an orientation and a demonstration of cleaning products. The delaer had about a dozen older TT models there. He told my brother to pick one for an exterior cleaning test. The dealer took whatever product he was trying to sell and SPRAYED it on the side of camper. What was once a tannish dingy color with blacks streaks became extremely clean with a couple swipes of the cloth...according to my brother. Anyone have any suggestions as to which product works the best??

Carl L:
A product called Simple Green properly diluted. 

Ron:
Sounds as easy as Dri-Wash-N-Guard.

 I actually tried Simple Green. It didn't work on mine. I tried it full strength on a black streak and it didn't even phase it.

Gary RV Roamer:
Black streaks can be extremely difficult and they aren't all the same.  Streaks on fiberglass gel or filon may require different techniques than streaks on painted aluminum. And the streaks themselves differ, depending on the composition of the dirt that formed themin the first place. Black streaks are fromed when accumulated dirt and grime on the roof is washed over the sides, leaving a residue as it runs down. The residue may be from oils, industrial pollution, smoke, tree saps, road grime, acid rain, plain old dirt or whatever and each one may require different cleaning technique to fully remove.  What I'm trying to say is that there is no product that removes them all, perfectly, easily and every time.  That includes the "black streak removers" that most RV dealers sell.

Is your brother keeping the name of this miraculous  product a secret?  IF it works as well as he says, we all want some!
