Cleaning streaks off bottom of fifth wheel

I tried searching the forum and the web but typing in the words cleaning and fifth wheel brings up an overwhelming amount of information not necessarily related to what I am looking for. Has anyone discovered any thing that would clean the lower portion of a fifth wheel? It is the lower skirting that I believe they call J wrap. The rest of the RV is spotless but I cannot get that portion clean. I have used many types of heavy duty cleaners with no results. Anyone found something that might help beside painting it? The arrow points to the area I am having trouble cleaning.

Have you tried a "MR Clean Magic Eraser'?
The bottom of our Cougar is a dark painted painted aluminum. We use Aerospace 303 to remove streaks with good results.

That would be a no go with the Magic Eraser. Not sure whats left that may clean the siding. May have to try Plastidip or something.

Tenn321 you, my friend, are a genius!! Using the Turtle Wax Rubbing Compound worked like a champ! I used Awesome, bleach, magic eraser and just about everything else except that old bottle of Turtle Wax Rubbing Compound I had stored on the shelf. Now just to find the time to get out there in the heat and do it
