    Bob, I would just use a mild detergent like liquid car wash soap. I've also used windex on the bare skins with good results. I do wipe it right of though and then go over it with a damp cloth. Hope this helps.

I plan on flying my RV before it is painted for a while and it has been sitting in my shop for a long time getting dust, and whatever on it. I would like to clean the skins but I don't want to polish it. I would like some recommendations on what to use to clean/wash it. I have heard there are some cleaning agents that should not be used prior to painting. Are there any recommendations out there for washing/cleaning the aluminum. Bob Savage

    I have use liquid wrench with silicone to remove overspray etc and seems to polish aluminum. Some people say that the silicone will interfere with paint application but I would think that acid etch would go through and prep metal. ----- Original Message ----- From: Robert Savage <bsavage22@hotmail.com> Sent: Mon, 4 Apr 2011 23:01:53 -0500 (CDT) Subject: RV7-List: Cleaning Aluminum Skins I am close to moving my RV7A to the hangar for final assembly.
