Question Overall Cleaner for the TT

These days there seems to be a different product for every little thing so... by any chance is there ONE product that can be used to effectively clean my roof (TPO type), the trailer itself (aluminum) and the awning?

I use (Awesome) on everything you just ask about Plus the Exterior Walls! Have only been using it since the unit was New (2010) and the decals and Finish look New! I apply (303) on the Decals after cleaning! Youroo!!

That sounds Awesome! I was hoping that would work b/c I had already bought a couple of bottles of that stuff to clean the awning with and then started worrying about whether it would work for everything else that needs to be cleaned on the exterior. As for the 303, I'm going to guess you mean this stuff here?
303 Aerospace Protectant

Thanks again!

Yes, the 303 Aerospace Protectant is GREAT for sealing your roof and is very similar to "Armor All" protectant but much, much, better. "Caution" Very slippery.

Be careful using Awesome full strength on tough black streaks as I have made some paint get transparent from using it full strength. It was on Metal siding that was in bad shape for long time. If rag turns white on white paint it is removing paint. Good stuff though. I have found using good cleaner wax on tough black streaks works much better. It will rub through the old paint too. Best thing I learned was to not let them get in bad shape. Now if I could just practice what I preach.

If you wash a few times between waxings, does the Awesome shorten the life of the wax any more than regular soap and water? Thanks

I use Murphy's Oil Soap. Works great.

I've been using Simple Green diluted to wash everything on the TT for the past ten years. I use it a little stronger on tires and wheels and stubborn stains and it does not harm the finish or wax if properly diluted. And, it is bio-degradable.

I use a product called Bleche White. You can get it from any automotive store, or even from Wal Mart in the automotive section.
