Black streak. (1 Viewer)

[Daveo2006]

Ok ive had a ladder up to clean the mildew off the roof today,which has been annoying me for sometime as the motorhome is new and obviosly sat on the forecourt for an age.I did ask them to clean it when it went back for some bits i wasnt happy with.The stuff i bought for cleaning was ace however didnt want to remove the black streaks without plenty of elbow grease.Ive also bought a coating to cover it in but want shot of the streaks 1st.So apart from the black streak remover ive seen,what else do you use?All suggestions would be gratefully welcomed.By the way i started off cleaning with one of those mit things but soon reverted to the soft brush.

I use Auto glym caravan / motorhome cleaner does for me but Fenwicks is good but very strong.

when you say a coating to cover it i assume you means some sort of resin type rub on coating! if thats the case there is likely to be a pre coating which takes off all grease etc, that should also do it.

good luck:thumb:

Bobby Dazzler will not remove black streaks, what it is good at is applying after you have rinsed off your vehicle after cleaning with something stronger ( I use Silky which is a non abrasive paste) the Bobby Dazzler contains a surfactant that makes the rinse water roll off, just leather over the vehicle and it comes up to a brilliant shine and protects the surface after the cleaner has removed any previous polish.:thumb:

Hi,
Try 'Elbow Grease' from the £1 shop, brilliant gear 80% Lemon Juice, you will find most of the Pro Cleaners who do the Big Statics use it, we always use it before we put the polish on, Also brings up all the 'metals' both inside and out a real shine. As well as the van its fantastic for removing stains from all clothes, used it on a wedding dress last year.. Perfect.
Best Regards, Mac

The easier option is just ignore the streaks:thumb:

Black streaks come off when I polish the van with Autoglym resin polish. I do that a couple of times a year then in between, wash it periodically with Autoglym wash.
I have found Turtle Wax Bug & Tar Remover to be useful for shifting the odd stubborn spot, but use this very rarely.

no matter what i use o n mine the bodywork is still a mess i reckon the paint is gone i wonder what the cost would be to respray the van ?

Pound shops sell a product called 'Dirty Bike' which is identical to Muc-off, but very much cheaper.

They don't come off when my underpants come out off the wash

You use auto glym to wash your jockies, you must be minted.
