I have today cleaned the caravan before my trip to wales tomorrow with fenwicks caravan cleaner.it struggled to remove 2.5 months of dirt and when it dried the paint on the fibreglass and aly panels was as flat as a witches t*t.in july i bought a brand of cleaner that left it looking like new. now it horrible with no shine at all.
I'm no expert on cleaning caravans on the outside (tend to do it very infrequently). Last time I used Fenwick's Caravan Cleaner but followed it up with Fenwick's Bobby Dazzler, which reputidly adds a protective coating with a dazzling shine. I wonder if the two are meant to complement each other. I didn't have a problem doing it this way and it seemed to work OK. However, after reading your post I would be interested to read other people's experience with Fenwick's before I try it on my new van.

I use Fenwicks on both my caravan and for my car. Both are left shining. I also use Bobby Dazzler but find in warm weather it needs to be chamoised (sp.) off to avoid leaving the surface streaky. However the result is a nice shiny van and car. Just done the car today.
You wash your van every week. Thats amazing. Ours is lucky if it gets washed twice a season, but now I have started storing it under a tree I might have to try a bit harder unless I want a van with a green roof.
Personally I've always beem impressde with Fenwicks and as said above it's even better if followed up with Bobby Dazzler. It's good on the car and UPVC windows too.
Care- a- van wash is really good, the polish is brilliant and easy to use too.
They also do a window cleaner designed for use on plastic windows and an interior cleaner.
I don't have any involvement in the company hones, I just love the products.
I do use fenwicks shampoo too when I am on site if the van gets dirty in transit, cause I had already got some before I got the others and the small tub is easy to keep in the front of the van.
I use Fenwick shampoo and bobby dazler on both my caravan and car, I am very pleased with it. I did try car-a -van product from a free sample but it is not up to Fenwick standard.

I'll add my support to the polish (not tried their other products). Very easy to use, excellent result and no white streaks. It makes cleaning the van (especially the front of the van) easier in future too, as muck doesn't stick as easily.
