Aluminum - why doesn't it clean the way every other surface does? Why can't you get it clean? What are the black stripes, black streaks or black stains and why can't you clean them off?
We were painting our house a couple years ago and the gutters had black streaks on them. I later found out they refer to those streaks on gutters as "tiger striping". I got some soap and water and tried to clean the gutters but nothing happened so I broke out the pressure washer and started out with 1,000 PSI and again, nothing happened. So, I turned it all the way up to 4,000 PSI and nothing happened. It was still as dirty as the minute I began. I went to the garage and grabbed some TSP, diesel fuel, paint thinner and bleach, and tried them all.
Again, nothing happened and I wasted half the day trying. I hate failing but I did that day. In frustration, I gave in and just painted the gutters. I have heard versions of this same story told from people who all had one thing in common. It was not gutters, it was that they were trying to clean aluminum. Aluminum on the soffit and fascia, aluminum siding, aluminum pool enclosures, aluminum trailers, boat pontoons, aluminum/alloy wheels and live in trailers. |
