It's a 12-foot Aluma utility trailer only a couple years old but getting icky and oxidized.

Is there some sort of wash that is good for aluminum?

TIA

I used a pontoon cleaner that I bought at Academy a few years ago. Worked pretty good but it was only on a few plates on a cargo trailer.

We use Aluma Brite. It works decent on stock/horse trailer.

If you don't want to do yourself, take it to a big truck washing company. I'm sure they'll give you a estimate. It amazed me how clean they could get the aluminum.

The oxidized surface layer protects the aluminum underneath from further oxidation

Don't acid wash, use Aluma-Brite for cleaning an aluminum trailer.

Icky? Not a phrase I expected to hear from someone posting on the OB.
