Great cleaning product!

Probably everyone knows about this product but for those like me I just want to share with everyone the best cleaning product I have ever used: Awesome. Dollar Tree and Big Lots carry it....it costs just a dollar ($1)--amazing! I just cleaned my awning and washed my trailer (sides and top) --it was effortless. Awesome is a "as seen on TV" product that goes way back, my mom told me about it. It has No Acid, No ammonia, No bleach and you use it diluted or full strength depending on the job, washing the trailer was about a 10 to 1 job because used straight it will cut into the coating.

Just wanted to share...I'm getting ready for the 1st trip of the season.....wishing all HAPPY CAMPING!!Click image for larger version

Never heard of it, but will give it a try. We've found Palmolive Oxy not only is great for dishes but, when a drop is added to water, is great for cleaning leatherette, windows, and getting the stainless steel and black appliances in our RV shiny.

It works great! My dealership recommend it. I actually just used it on the awnings on house too. It is really good for the price.

I have use it and it does a great job. It does remove wax if you have waxed your trailer. Just a heads up.

I think it's called LA's Totally Awesome. Dollar Tree up here in Canada has it, too.

Haven't seen it in that type of bottle. At our Dollar Tree stores it comes in a solid orange bottle.

It's the only cleaner I've found that cleans up those black streaks. Wal-mart carries it too if there's any left. I buy it 10 bottles at a time and use it on about anything.

I've heard it is good. Maybe someday I'll buy a bottle. So far, Simple Green as worked great.

One question, for popups is it safe for the plastic windows?

OK, new to all of this and trying to understand before making a costly mistake. Purchased a 2011 Sunseeker 3170ds in February and now that it has warmed up getting ready to do some serious cleaning on the exterior. I have been reading here about the gel coat on the fiberglass exterior and don't want to damage it. Have purchased this product to use (Dollar Store). Any suggestions? Thanks!

Just make sure you rinse off right away. It hasn't damaged my gel coat but again it does take the wax off.

Thanks for your reply! One more question. Do you use it right out of the spray bottle or do you dilute it with water?

Right out of the bottle is a degreaser...........10:1 is a much better and safer way to wash the outside of an RV.
