Location: Southern Indiana		Anyone know of anything that will clean the black streaks off of aluminum white siding? The only way I've been able to get it off is using 3M polishing compound then a coat of wax. But 6 months later I'm right back to where I was. Any help would be appreciated..

Location: MI.		Polishing compound might strip your paint off. I took the advice on here and used purple power. It worked beautifully. I hand waxed my trailer with a good grade car wax afterwards. Now, the streaks are faint/minimal to non existent. They come off with a soft brissel brush and a good car wash soap. If we have a hard rain and I see some faint streaks, I clean them right away.

Find gard, he can tell you of direct you to who can help you.  The aluminum top rail is what's causing the black streaks.  Lucky for us, our top and corner rails are painted white!  My 2000 Exiss was bad about this until I ACID was it, the problem solved until the next year.

One of the other guys should stop by shortly that knows what to do the right way!

I've always used Streakmaster's Black Streak Remover with good results.
