NTO, they don't know not to mess w/you!! LOL I, too, got & used the aluminum cleaner. The first 2 pics are befores & the 2nd (this is providing I can get them to post!) will be afters. NOW - unfortunately, it was later in the day & the trailer is more shaded in the afters so you can't tell the diference as well. And for the skeptics, I moved the trailer between the before & after pics so background won't be the same either!! If I'd known they were going to be scruntinized so much, I'd been SURE I took all pics from the exact same location/angle/time of day/etc etc!!

I used the Black Streak Remover this week to wash my entire 4 Star trailer, It has stainless steel, alum. and painted surfaces. I was NOT pleased with the results that I received. It did remove the bugs off of the front and some road grime and a small amount of oxidation , but not much to remove the streaks and brighten the overall look. DH

My 4-star is bare aluminum no painted aluminum on it. I received the brightener on Thursdays used it today and wow it made my trailer look as good as the day I bought it.

Very little elbow grease required. I used a carwash brush (from wallyworld) to apply the brightener. The only incident was that I had not mixed the solution strong enough at first, so I added more to the mix. It started foaming after application then, I let it work for approximately a minute and rinsed off with a garden hose. Some areas that were quite dull, I went back over again. Make sure you rinse off thoroughly. EASY!

Did you dilute the Black Streak Remover?
You need the Aluminum Brightener for the Aluminum..not the Black Streak remover..
