Orange Streak from 2022 400 Boondock Handle

We moved our 2022 400 BD from winter covered storage to outdoor uncovered storage about a month ago. When I checked on it today, it had a long orange streak running down the side under the Boondock entry handle. I am guessing it is from the material that is behind the cut out letters. Does anyone have suggestions for removing it? I tried the Sprayway Glass Cleaner that works great on the black streaks, but it is not working on this streak. I didn't see any other posts about this in the forum, but would appreciate some advice or a link to where it has been discussed. Thanks!

It could be runoff from the butyl tape used to waterproof the screw penetrations holding the handle on. Try rubbing alcohol. It won’t harm the exterior of the camper.

@aphillips, you can also try some good car wax, like "Meguiars Cleaner Wax."  I use it on my T@B and other vehicles and it does a really nice job and creates a nice shine, but I have also used it to remove stains and minor scratches/scuff marks.  Meguiars makes different waxes for specific applications (e.g., fiberglass restoration and oxidation remover.)

Having same issue.  Anyone seen instructions how to remove the handle?

@vttj, the below discussions may help you out.

The video link in the second discussion is marked private, so not accessible.  However, it appears that it may have been produced by nuCamp (or at least they provided a copy), so you might contact them for any suggestions and/or a link to the video.

Also, nuCamp uses 3M VHB tape to secure the handle.
