I would try Silky,

It is a very mildly abrasive paste, and does remove mastic, black streaks and the like.

Please take care with any type of thinners or the like, paint on a van is very thin and will not stand much punishment.

I've always found that oil based stuff works a treat just as other have suggested with the WD40. But.......I use a teeny bit of baby oil on a piece of kitchen roll most of the time, works a treat

Also use babywipes for virtually ANYTHING in our house, including for wiping our pooches beard and bumOops, sorry....

parraafin  may work  too   and  wont damage paint ..   I  use it to take tar  spots  off the car  paint and it  doesnt do any harm at all  .

i  would be  very vary of thinners  too   just  in case

What ever you do, don't put acetone near anything on a caravan  (Nail varnish remover contains acetone!) It will disolve paint and some plastics.

I have sucessfully managed to remove old dried up duct tape residue easily using methalated spirit.

Have used something called sticky stuff remover available from Lakeland and betterwear works very well on most glue and does not damage plastics.
