caravan cleaning

[redphil55]

Hi everyone
I am putting my Bailey pageant up for sale,although i have never used it since i bought it in October i was going to wash it down, i know it might sound stupid but whats the best cleaner to use and the best method.
Its in excellent nick but want it to look as best as possible.
Thanks

Start with a good wash down using Fenwicks caravan cleaner concentrate.
If the paintwork has a good gleam then rinse off with Fenwicks Bobby Dazzler.
If it's dull then out with the elbow grease and Autoglym super resin polish.
Do NOT use a pressure washer.

Car shampoo and washing up liquid for the windows

Has anyone tried the sno-foam devices ?

I have had one for the car for a few years, and although they are powered by a power washer, it is not a strong jet, more of a soft spray, which completely covers the van in the soap foam, which lifts the dirt off. A quick hose down (with the hose only) removes any left over foam, and I finish with a spray of Bobby dazzler, and a chamois wipe down.

It is advertised as contactless, which it can be, but for any stubborn dirt, a wash mit soon gets rid of it. I never touch the windows, until the van is done, then I use a microfibre cloth and Fenwicks cleaner in a trigger bottle.

This seems to work - our 23 yr old van is always spotless.... until we go on holiday anyway 😛

Welcome back my old dog friend 🙂
I should have added that I also use Fenwicks Black streak remover spray for those stubborn stains. Does the job very well on my Bailey caravan .

I've been beaten to it, but would recommend Fenwicks followed by Autoglym to get a great shine ..... and lots of elbow grease or a polisher! :cheer:

I was an Autoglym man until last weekend, picked up the Aldi caravan concentrate at £2.99 and black streak cleaner and washed the van on site last Saturday and whoooo brilliant stuff and no probs with the bird poo either.

I agree . Used the black streak cleaner the other week . Great stuff , going down to get some more .

Hi Dustydog, as you are well aware year in year out without fail new companies come into the market place with a new caravan cleaner / blackstreak remover.Some are better than others but they are not always consistent in their performance.The companies might not be the ones that were used last year which gave you pleasing results but could have been changed due to market forces( availability, price , etc.) Fenwicks has stood the test of time and has always kept it's word on green issues, safety, performance and price it is always value for your hard earned cash.
