Guys, I need your help here. I just picked up an older ('85) Wells Cargo enclosed trailer w/white aluminum sides. My problem is the previous owner had it sit outside all its life and the siding is chalky and rust stains from the roof. Is there anything out there that will remove the rust stains and not the finish.

Not sure about the rust stains, but best cleaner I've found for trailers is a product called "Awesome" - you get it at dollar general stores and it kicks butt getting aluminum oxidation off the side of a trailer. Very good stuff, and cheap.

I was just using it straight.. Sprayed it on, scrubbed on it it a bit with rag and rinsed off.

CLR should get the rust off I'm sure.

That's the best stuff I've ever found for getting the sides cleaned up!
