This trailer I have just got is all aluminum but the outside has a , I guess you call it skin, on it. Its not aluminum where you can put acid wash on, I think, anyway. It has dark streaks on it, I tried the simple green and it didn't work. What else can I do?

Get some of the stuff they use on big trucks and trailers, like at a truck wash. I've got some powder stuff that looks a lot like dirt or minerals that worked great on getting the black off my trailer..... nothing else even touched it. You mix about a cup with 5 gallons of water and spray it on, scrub with a brush a few times and the streaks are gone. Sorry, I can't remember what it's called but I think most commercial pressure washer shops and truck washes should have it.... stuff I got comes in a large keg, I just got a small ziploc full to test it out.

Try a safe alternative. OrangeXtreme Deep Clean is a Heavy duty degreaser, cleaner, and Black Streak Remover. It is also non-toxic, biodegradable, and easy to use. You can spray it on for great results or you can use it in a pressure washer for even better results. If you are interested in more info, contact info is below.
