It started last week with bringing my travel trailer home to do a good cleaning and periodic maintenance session checking the roof and seams since I have nothing better to do right now. It's a "small" 26' bunk house. It's been sitting in a gravel lot since last November and the last time out I had to drive down several miles of wet gravel road. The thing was filthy. I was it regularly during the season with a telescoping brush and used an RV specific wash and wax. That stuff isn't too cheap, so I didn't want to use it knowing I was going to take my PC and a white pad to it with an AIO. I had a gallon of gold class that might be half full that's been sitting in my garage unused for years. Ok, I'll use that. Suds were good, cleaning action was good, it got rid of some pretty difficult black streaks with only moderate scrubbing. I have hard water so spotting is usually an issue if I don't dry fast enough. Gold class didn't seem to have issues. It must get along with my local water chemistry.
So today, kids are playing on their bikes. I need something to do. Truck is dirty. Pollen is kicking up, I had taken the trailer to and from said storage lot, etc. Rather than using the DP Power Wash I've been trying to use up I decided to reach for the gold class again. Same conclusion. Best part, it played really well with the McKees trademark extender wax. Something the power wash wasn't doing. Same lack of spots, same good suds. Power wash went in the trash. Not worth trying to use the rest. A cheap wash that's been around for what seems like decades blew it away.
