Hi, we have a 1998 MH, the grey & white plastic needs a good clean, as there are a few black streaks & scuffs on it, I have tried the motorhome cleaning solution but it makes no difference, can anyone recommend something that they have used that actually works, was wondering if I try to steam clean it that may work??
Also there is a very thin hairline crack in the overhead can, it doesn't leak & it's not that big but can someone tell me how to treat this also?
Thanks

Muc-off! it's a pink solution that you can work in with the brush provided then rinse off,or just use a firm sponge.   I have tried the lot and I think this is easily the best

Don't even think of going near it with a jet washer and those little steamers are crap

good luck!

motor spares shops, Halfords (I think), camping outlets.
Have a look on Ebay to get an idea

It really does work (even on the interior)

Got ours from Towsure Can't remember how much it was a 5 litre refill

Be very careful using Muc off, always read the instructions and rinse thoroughly with plenty of clean water. I have seen some disasters where it has been used neat on motorhome bodies and not nice unless your into the matt look

Hi we have used Auto Glym radiant wax for years no damage but great for shining and removing streaks.
