I doubt Bon Ami will do any better, but I’ve read people often use it as well. Now that your trailer is cleaned up a little, can you tell a difference when it’s wet?

Have you tried water and white vinegar? It’s a mild acid. You’ll need to scrub with a water and baking soda to stop the acidic process so you’ll need to do section by section. I use a water and vinegar mix to get rust off small steel parts

You could try water and muriatic acid but that stuff is strong.

Yep.
How about muriatic acid and water 1:10 ratio? I know muriatic acid will clean anything

Getting ready to head to fla, my idea of winter camping😁.
I'll give it a try when I return. Or when whiling away the the warmer days in fla.
The beaches and golf courses can get a wee bit boring..
Winter camping at its best. I like being a wuss.

ENJOY!
And...
If you happen to stop in Pensacola, I can heartily recommend stopping by the Ruby Slipper for Breakfast/Lunch and the Bodacious Brew for coffee.

Hello new on site - was wondering what you finally did to clean your trailer?
My trailer just has mineral stains running down the sides and I do not want to damage the anodized surface of the aluminum your input would help !
