Personally, I haven't found power washer detergent that'll take that stuff off without scrubbing.

I hit it with the power washer on the low setting to knock off any big stuff and get everything wet. Then I use dish soap in a bucket of warm water and one of those automotive bug scrubber pads. Then I wash it all down with the power washer.
The pads work well, without too much effort.

I bought the pads at CTC. They're a soft cloth washer on one side and an open nylon mesh on the other. The center is filled with sponge. I've had them for years and they were cheap. The mesh side takes the slime off.

CTC has the bug pads on sale now. I use Spray 9 for the interior cleaning. It works real well but you should test it out of sight first. It's on sale as well.

If there's a easier way, I'd appreciate hearing about it.

Starbrite oxalic acid cleaner worked well for me, says safe for painted aluminum. It took the water scum off instantly with little scrubbing but wear gloves as it will dry out and peel your skin like a sunburn.
