Black speckles on motorhome

Doug Domm · 07-11-2012, 02:26 PM

My motorhome was parked near trees for a period of time and is covered with black speckles. Not sticky like sap though. Anyhow I tried every cleaner in the shop ranging from mild to wear rubber gloves take your skin off and nothing would touch it. Alas, my daughter suggested mr.clean magic eraser extra strength and that stuff was almost effortless. Just passing my discovery along.

I've used it for cleaning a few things, too.

It is Fiberglas gel coat and never hurt a thing "today" don't know what the future holds. I did a test spot and rinsed it well. Seems to be just fine. If anything it brought out the deeper shade of colour it originally was. I can tell the original colour by what is under trim pcs. removed. I feel confident enough to do the whole coach now. I hope I'm not on here in the future crying y'all a river though. Even the stripes seemed to look OK.
