I also have a question about the aluminum on my trailer... I made the mistake of buying a trailer cover for the winter the year before last. When I removed it in the spring the aluminum was full of black oxidation wherever the cover came in contact with it. Can anyone suggest a product or procedure that can remove this? I've been thinking of taking it to the truck wash to have it acid washed but I've been hearing this is not a good idea either.

Why are people suddenly saying that acid washing is a bad thing?I use the two different kinds of Streakmaster on mine...one for painted and one for bare. I works great. I would acid wash it if the place were closer!

Repeated acid washings can damage painted surfaces. A citrus wash is less harmful.

Some acids contain dangerous chemicals. RE: http://www.horsetrailerworld.com/forum/thread-view.asp?threadid=15600&start=1

There have been many reports of stock and horse trailers leaching out acid fumes into the animal area well after the wash, causing serious illness of the animals. I won't take the chance.

I had my trailer washed at Blue Beacon Truck Wash in Ennis, TX this weekend. They did my truck and trailer, and put RainX on the outside of the trailer & truck. I kid you not, my trailer looks brand new, and it only cost $50.00. Great service.
