Cleaning the outside

[tthunderdan]

I just aquired a 1990 T170 Star Ray. My question is whats the best way to clean green stains off of the outside. It was sitting amongst the trees and it's pretty nasty. Is there a good 'homemade solution" to use?

I picked up some of the LA AWESOME stuff at the dollar store. Now all I need is some warmer temps...western PA.

OP said it has green on it because it was sitting among trees. The green is mold and bleach kills mold.

By now, the paint on the aluminum is oxidized. If you want to "freshen" it up, use Jasco Prepaint Conditioner, applied from a garden sprayer. Apply the solution, brush with soft bristle brush, spray again, and immediately rinse. I use this on everything from RV's to pressurized gas tanks/cooling arrays, anything oxidized that needs cleaning.

I use totally awesome it is cheap at Dollar General, buy the spray bottle and also get a gallon jug to refill the spray bottle, I think the spray bottle is about $2.00 and the gallon jug is less than $4.00. works good for me especially to get the black streaks off.

Dawn dish washing soap does a great jog on the green mold. I've used it many times on outdoor furniture and aluminum awnings.
We get way too much experience with this sort of thing here in W. Wa.!

Awesome cleaner from the dollar store. Mix it with water in a 5 gallon bucket,spray on straight on stubborn stains. Will clean almost anything and it is cheap.

Reliable RV Cleaner works like magic on black streaks. Can't imagine it wouldn't work on green goo.

I've found Simple Green works great! I use it on the black streaks and it takes them right off.

It is aluminum.
