What's the best stuff to use to clean aluminium cladding.
Looks good when wet, but regardless of what I've tried, it dries ugly as the rest of building.

Dan that looks oxidised to. Was that panel painted on the cladding after the build ?

If its just the green thats a problemthen the chances are that its just a stripe that was sprayed on and its oxidised - has a porous layer on the surface which is why it looks good when wet. I don't think there will be any easy answer to this other to remove or respray. A friend of mine sprays quite a lot of these units for this reason. It'll be interesting to hear some other views though
