Looks interesting. What was the product's effect on the decals?

I am going to package up some bleach and call it "20 Second Cleaner". That would sell like crazy.

From the founder of "5 minute Abs"

I think that the "30 second cleaner" phrase is a victim of spellcheck. I think it's like WD40, where "40" means the 40th try at getting it right. I think the name pre-spellcheck was "32nd Cleaner". I'm basing this on my phone's dictation feature turning "42nd Street" into "40 second Street."

ymmv

Thanks Busskipper, I'm all out of pictures and attachments. I've used my 50 Meg.

I had four gallons of "30 second" for cleaning my cedar house. Just cracked open a jug and sprayed my RV roof interior to demildew it post some water damage. Got to air out the RV now ...very bleach smell

Good grief. It was humor. Tough room.

Okay, here's a consumer report. I found 30-Second at Lowes, bought a big bottle, mixed it approsimately 1:1, and went to work (ruined a nice T by splattering it -- bleached the hell out of it). Cleaned as claimed. Really clean. Windshield looks like it's not there any more. BUT: I think it left faded streaks on the vinyl graphics. Not sure because the coach is new to us and this was the first time I washed it, and it was road-filthy from 750 miles in the rain coming home from the dealer.

Next time I'm going to dilute it more -- a lot more.

We even brought Mother Superior home from the storage lot the next day to rinse her more thoroughly. I held the hose under the brush wand and really soused. And where the water hit the pavement, white foam came up from the blacktop from the run-off the day before. This is some serious stuff. Use judiciously.

It may strip wax but it's the go-to for love bugs.

Thanks! We will check this out. We are having trouble getting some marks off the front.

Try Totally Awesome from the Dollar Store I have found it to work awesome in stains and black streaks on your RV. Usually just a couple of $1 for a half gallon. It even works on dirty closes, most painted surfaces and decals. I am in the sign business and don’t recommend using bleach products on decals or prints. I b was turned into the Totally Awesome product by a guy who cleans RV’s for a living.

I wish the OP had NOT posted this. Seems like when a fantastic product hits the market they take it off.

I put this in a motorized pump sprayer and drive around my white vinyl fences and clean the outside of my Mfgr home. The green slime here in Central Florida just runs off. I give it a quick rinse after. I have not used it on the RV but just might try a small area. It needs a good waxing anyway.

Dawn detergent will indeed take the wax off. I used it before giving my pickup a really good wax job.

Now if someone can tell me how to get wax off black plastic trim. That always bugs me.
