Anyone know of a cleaner that will clean a red mud stain off vinyl siding without discoloring the vinyl? I have tried Clorox and various cleaners without much success.

B52 degreaser. Works on a race car. Test it on a piece though because it does dull "shiny" aluminum.

orange blast doesn't discolor my vinyl, doesn't harm the clear coat on my car either unlike other cleaners.

Mix clorox with water 10% strengh and use pressure washer will come right off..Rinse after
Running bleach through your pressure washer will eat out the seals.
Spray it on with a spray bottle.

They make a outdoor clorox. Just spray it on and wash it off. Pressure really isnt needed. If you still have some spots which I doubt you will, try mixing a little jomax with it. We use this 50+ houses a year and works fine.

CLR is probably one of your best bets, looks like Hull Brite could be a winner too.

I wash a lot of homes....and use commercial cleaners of all kinds....I have run across some red clay stains on vinyl as well as concrete that will not come 100% clean.
You need to use the right cleaner and/or degreaser for what you are trying to clean.

Find a "professional" pressure washer in your area that washes homes for a living..he might be able to help you.
Their is not a one magic cleaner (bleach, joemax etc.) that will remove everything...most of the time we use our on formula to get the quick results we need....(but if you don't know your chemicals that can be very dangerous)
As you can tell the equipment has a lot to do with it as well

Like I said, get some CLR and use a scotch brite pad and your brute strength or maybe just a cloth and your hand and wipe it down and rinse. Sometimes the clay permiates into vinyl and you need to replace it.
