We want to give the caravan a proper wash and protect it before putting the cover on for the winter.
What do you use?
Have you used Fenwicks Over Winter solution?
Thanks

fenwicks Over wintering seems to work well, but washes off after a while. Leaves a sort of oily residue when it dries and water just runs off.

Absolutely! Given vans are not covered whilst towing, being used, or sat in a dealers; just what is the point of a cover the rest of the time - unless you are next to a cement factory, that is? And even then, the smart money would be to move away from said factory altogether!

We've put fenwicks over winter on our caravan but it's this first time we've used it and it's not under cover.

I just give it a wash off with normal car shampoo then put a cut off version (normal caravan skirt cut to about 5/6 inches) of skirt round the full awning rails (both sides near and off sides) deflects the rain water from running down the sides of the van and no black streaks.
Good tip. Its the streaks that are the worst aspect. Does it completely stop them?
