I always used Meguiars stuff  (still do on the car) and Autoglym before that but I tried GL 3 weeks ago and was really amazed how good it is, however I did wash the caravan before I polished it as I am still sceptical it will not scratch.

You obviously don't know a thing about cleaning cars/caravans safely to recommend a product like that as i believe its a dry clean spray. These type of dry cleans will scratch your van as the dirty particles of grit that form the dirt on your van will be scratched into the paintwork. Its the equivlent to dipping your wash mit in some soil then going at your paintwork. Foolish. A dirty car/caravan should always be Rinsed with water first, then washed away with pleanty of water and shampoo to avoid scratching. Even if a hosepipe is not possible, use your containers and wash and rinse with as much water as poss. DO NOT DRY CLEAN Autoglym SR Polish is brill for bringing the brilliant white shine back to your caravan, then a coat of Autoglym HD Wax which is a Carnuba hard wax will leave a coat of protection for your caravan which will last all summer. An all in one just wont do the job as good or have the same protection.

Restoring paintwork on cars with machine polishes and cutting compounds/polishes has been a little hobby of mine over the years and one thing i know for a fact is Autoglym have some of the best products in the industry.

I can assure you that showroom shine does not,and will not scratch anything.Its used by mercedes benz.I have converted one of the most respected people on this site to this stuff and as for not knowing anything about polishing cars i can also assure you i have used everything that you can mention and polished more cars than you have had hot dinners..PS showroom shine contains carnuba wax.I am a panelbeater spray painter to trade.

I fully concur with the use of Showroom shine, its superb!!!

I challenge the poster saying it will scratch your car/van to find the scratches on my outfit! Carnuba wax is a constituant part of showroom shine as previously said.

If showroom shine does not scratch then where does the dirt and grit go.

I hope everyone is using a microfibre cloth as possibly this is the thing that is stopping the scratches. I would never use dry product on a dirty van though I would on a clean one.

I use Fenwicks then AG Ultra Deep Shine.
