Hi All

Why buy all the expensive stuff, Amazed no ones mentioned 'Silky' at £3.50 at most caravan dealers,also brings the van up like new without any risk of scratches etc.

Wet the Van first and use in stages, just rub on with a sponge and hose off,do not let it dry!

Works a treat and use it on my boat!

Fenwicks is a rip off, you're paying for the name.

Any hard surface cleaner will do the job combined with a bit of elbow grease. As mentioned, drip strip will prevent it from returning.

I'm with David (D S B), onedrywash did a great job on our van that hadn't been cleaned for about 15 months (when it was new) and the results were amazing. From the positive comments I got at Ferry Meadows I should have been on commission, especially when I was half way through and the 'previous' side was still visible!!!

Any car shampoo and a bit of elbow grease does the trick.

the answer to black streaks , is when you clean the caravan is to clean the roof , and you will hardly ever have black streaks

do not quite agree with this the rain is really dirty stuff,as i clean my car every day i know.the day after a heavy rain its filthy again and the car roof is clean.having the caravan roof clean does help matters.
