I would like to know if someone would provide me with the name of any cleaning solutions out there that can do it all. Clean the aluminum oxidation, yet be safely used to clean the white skin and glass of my sundowner.

I am also looking for the same thing. I have a white skinned aluminum trailer that is about 7 years old. I have tried aluminum cleaners from auto parts stores with no results. My owner's manual says that it can be acid washed but warns to find someone who knows what they are doing. I feel that is the only way to get the aluminum to shine again. There are no truck stops near me. I live near Austin TX. Any suggestions?

Tack shops sell a product called "truck and trailer wash" from EZ All....haven't tried it but the label says that it washes steel, aluminium, wood, etc. It is the kind where you attach it to a hose and just spray and rinse.

I am new here, but saw this post. I have successfully used EQ Solutions Red Wash, it works great on the aluminum trailers. I use it in an EQ foamer and then for black streaks, I concentrate it down into a squirt bottle.
If you have aluminum that is oxidized, that is another beast! I have had success with the oxidation by thoroughly washing the trailer and then using a chrome/metal polish with a buffing wheel...it takes forever and if you go this route, I would suggest testing a small area
