I have tried numerous methods to get the caulking looking like new with varying degrees of failure.
The red dust seems impervious to everything except replacing the caulking...
Then I discovered a product called "Simple Green" at Bunnings that I used to clean the awning with great sucess and ease. So I tryed it on the Red dust spray on, wait a couple of mins (actually I started at the front left corner and worked my way around the van so it was probably 5 mins) then used a wheel cleaning brush along the lines of caulking, rinse of with a hose and WOW!!!!!!
I have no connection with this product whatso ever, YMMV but it worked brilliantly for me...
