Black Streaks

What is the magic to getting rid of black streaks, tried all the store products with similar end results. I keep the roof clean to minimalize these streaks, but they still happen and are tough to remove.

Purple Power...don't let it dry on the surface but let it soak for 10 or 15 seconds, then wash it off with soap and water. I use that stuff on everything! My kids (grown now but always kids) call it "Purple Jesus" because it's a cure for all things bad and dirty.

Awesome from the Dollar Store works eeze peeze. Apply some to a rag and wipe the streaks away. Follow up with some spray detail wax.

I have used Awesome Orange for years. It is a great, affordable product--$1 for 32 oz spray bottle or 64 oz refill. It is a citrus degreaser that is not harsh and has never harmed the finish of the several RV's I've owned. Best black streak remover.

Good point: they can use the dawgs to hunt-up a new one!
