we bought our caravan in may, its a 2006, but the paint and stickers look quite dull,planning to give it a good scrub next week, any recomendations for shampoo, paint cleaner, wax polish ect
You'll probably get loads of different suggestions here! I use Fenwicks to shampoo, Fenwicks Rinse Aid and Mer as a polish, they work for me (when I can get to the 'van) and I only use microfibre cloths. Im sure others will have other ideas.
I use the same system as littlejack40 and confirm it does give good results, also use Mer to polish the windows without any problems.
I believe there are many good products out there and other members will be along shortly with their ideas.

Funny how Mer seems to work on caravans, it's absolute rubbish on cars! So much so I wouldn't normally even give it thinking space. But I'm sure I saw an old bottle in my dad's shed, so may just give it a try.
Don't bother with it on your car though. Only a good polish & coat of hard wax will do there. (totally different area though, I know. But if I hadn't read this thread I would've just gone for a good wash & wax shampoo, followed by Autoglym polish where needed & a good coat of hard wax all over. Glad that didn't happen, hard wax is bloomin hard work on a car, let alone a caravan).

i used to use all the meguiars?? clay, paint clean, polish and wax on my car, and thought it was excellent!!
but ithink it would cost a bit to do a 21foot caravan!
also like the autoglym, but i will give the fenwicks and mer a bash first, as they seem better value for your cash!
