Hi, can any of the good people on here recommend a good cleaning product, preferably available without purchasing online as I could do with some before the weekend. The black staining that seems to come from the window rubber seals is becoming quite unsightly and sheer elbow grease has not done the trick so far!

I can highly recommend waterless car wash. Used it on our static and I have been using it on my car. On the caravan it gets rid of those black streaks you get from the windows and door edges a treat. Spray it on, leave a few seconds or longer if its a dull day, then wipe over using micro fibre cloths, It really is good stuff and no water involved. I have used the Aldi one, Turtle wax one and another one I got from Asda, and they all do a good job.This is the one I am using at the mo, from Wilko, but you can get it elsewhere. link

Greased Lightning 'Showroom Shine' which is a waterless cleaner is a good product for removing black streaks and leaving a wonderful lasting shine. I have also been informed that 'Muck Off' is a good cleaner for removing those ugly black streaks but can't comment on the product as I have never used it myself.
Quite often the windows severely stick to the rubber so to avoid delamination of the plastic windows it is advisable to open each window and clean the inside around the perimeter where it touches the rubber seal as this allows the inner and outer sections to expand together in changing weather temperatures. If the inner one sticks to the rubber then only the outer one can expand causing a bond failure of the two halves of the window causing the delamination. Just thought it was worth mentioning as prevention is better than cure and windows are very costly to replace.

Fenwicks products are very good and available from Halfrauds.

Picked up a Turtle version of waterless wash/carnuba wax from B & M store last week less than £5, yet to try it.
