Chris To be honest with you, I have just done lots of washing on my trailer. I had purchased it from the hot Arizona climate and it was very dull. I have used transmission fluid on the metal the first two years to help get the metal back in shape. It is very pourous so I think it helped. I cleaned staned areas with WD-40 which works really well. You can also use brillo pad on the aluminum propane tanks as well as any of the aluminum trim such as the exterior compartment framing and the windows. This makes it sparkle. Be careful not to use those brillo on the finished anodized aluminum though. I now wash it and use Armor all or similar brands to keep it looking fresh. Some have disagreed with these processes but my trailer sparkles. Also, I did not have the Gold Anodizing problem that many 77's had so was lucky. I would not use the chemical wash on the finish that some discuss. It has been known to permanently discolor the anodized aluminum to the point of needing a paint job. I have seen that. Thanks James/Lakewood, CO 77 Silver Streak Supreme Luxury Liner.
