Hi All,How do I prevent black streaks appearing down the sides of my 'van......

Lovingly washed & polished yesterday(with a bucket & sponge due to hose pipe ban), it rained last night.

 Black streaks down the sides again:(

What can be used to stop it happening all the time...........

 Thanks,  Chris

I use Muc Off on my mountain bike and its awesome, spray over mud and grime covered bike, rinse off and the bike is spotless.

I've not thought of using it on the caravan.  I will have a go when I get home.

Some one suggested shaving cream and they said it worked ?

"What can be used to stop it happening all the time..........." Black Streak Remover is exactly that, a remover, it will not prevent it from happening again.

Thanks for all the helpful replies, guess it's just down to keeping it washed & polished.

 Seen in the paper today "Hose pipe ban over in time for Olympics"

 That will give me lots of time to polish Abbie:))

Dealer told me it was the oil in the aluminium awning rails...(how much oil is there in Aluminium....?). . . . . .cobblers
We've just had the awning rails re-sealed and after 12 months of no streaks, they've started again.
Could it be impurities in the sealant?
