money is tight and i need something to clean my caravan with, i know fenwicks is the best but is it worth the money, is there something cheaper on the market, or should i just go for fenwicks, thinking of the supermarkets car wash stuff or better still fairy liquid is what i use for my car.
many thanks.

A bottle of Fenwick will clean up to 40 caravans so will last a long time

Fairy liquid is by far the best thing to use on dirty plates
It is just about the worst thing to use on car paint !
Try and use car wash/polish even stuff from the pound shop will do a decent job on both car and caravan.

Certainly wouldn't use fairy or any other washing up liquid on a caravan or a car as it leaves a sticky residue.
I've used car-plan shampoo in the past but I'm still open to other ideas

Go to a "POUNDLAND" shop they have a very good wash/wax car shampoo, I use it all the time. Guess how much it is?

Good post this, I use Fenwicks for a major clean and then a car wash and wax just to keep on top of it.
You should never use washing up liquid.

got some fenwicks and bobby dazzler, i will not use fairy liquid again, washed car with fenwicks today and its gleaming, so money well spent, just got to get ava (van) from the storage and bring her home, (not tried it before and dreading it as i live on a one way road and the thought of unhitching her is my worst nightmare, but the storage has no water facility) got a good friend to help me out, and will combine that with packing her up for half term outing in may.
thanks for the advice, oh and i will never use fariy liquid again apart from the dishes and on my floors

dont use washing up liquid we use to use it and it did a brilliant job but took the sheen off the van mind it was 10 years old .
we use fenwicks / auto glym or any car shampoo with wax , then when we are on site i sometimes polish it with furniture polish mr sheen. just the front and the windows.
