    Is it aluminium or galvanized? I reckon just power hose it.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    Hat washer should make it look great...
    Careful of harsh detergents as they may damage the galvanise

    I'd maybe try that on a galvanised gate or something small first before attacking the good trailer!!

    The best way to keep a galvanised trailer or anything painted looking 'as new' is to keep it in a shed out of the sun, the elements and prying eyes!! ;)
