Can anyone offer any advice on how to get rid of the road dirt from a caravan.

We have just given our new van a wash and found that it has got black streaky road film and soot from the exhaust on the front that wont budge with a good wash with soapy water.

Thanks

We use Fenwicks, and it'll shift anything!  ScampisOH and Little Scamp did ours on Sunday - I've not seen it yet, but I've been told I'll be impressed!  All black streaks have gone and 'van is nice and shiney again!  (and I don't work for Fenwicks, so can't be accused of advertising!!!)

we washed our van today for the first time since we got her (no facilities at storage) and we used Fenwicks caravan cleaner and she's come up a treat, we have also used the black streak remover as well and that's brilliant

Have to say that I never believed the hype around Mr Fenwick's, and we just used ordinary car shampoo. However, two weeks ago, we bought and used Mr Fenwicks and I couln't believe the difference - we even managed to get a shine of our 'van without even polishing it.

Definitely recommended!

Hi Will, thanks for that----but you will get even better results the more you use it----and stop polishing now you've realised it's not a car. Caravan cleaner has to firm but gentle--- not like car cleaner where any TFR will do---- Cheers  OMF
