Transcend Aluminum Skin
We purchased a 26RLS a few months ago and am curious what folks are using to clean/protect the aluminum skin on the transcend.

On our previous aluminum skinned TT we used black streak remover to remove stains or black streaks, followed by a wash and wax soap of your choice. Do not let the black streak remover dry it is a bugger to get off.
By the way welcome to the family.

Welcome to the forum ThorPete. We also used to own a metal skinned RV. We found that Simple Green worked pretty well for black streaks and bug splatters.

The Transcend skin is different than aluminum skins in the past.
Page 140 in the owners manual addresses exterior care.

On my old unit I used Rainx wash and wax. Worked very well. I also sprayed it straight on the front of the trailer and let dry before each trip. used a 1 gallon sprayer I kept in truck bed. Made bug removal a snap later. I did have to re apply after driving through rain. Haven't washed my new unit yet, but will probably use the same. Be sure to use hot/warm water and change it often if it gets dirty. I used a cloth mop too with an extension pole. Best soap to use if your going to wax separately is Dawn dish soap. Its also great for the black tank before use.
