Hi with the snow we've had it has left black streaks which are very difficult to remove (cleaned two weeks ago). I have tried everything Auto Glym motorhome and caravan cleaner, Mer shampoo and fenwicks but no luck is there any stronger product in the market that will remove them?
How to remove black streaks?

Fenwicks used in concentarted form often shifts them, but there have been times when Ive used a creamy white paste called Silky. That always works but it should only be used gently and sparingly, like don't polish the whole van with it as it is more abrasive than a normal Fenwicks wash or Autoglym shampoo. Before putting the van away for winter I apply two coats of Fenwicks Overwintering and generally find the black marks come off more easily.

Hi Abbey Owner lots of members on here have simply used Mr Sheene and this seems to work quite well and I have used it on our 3 year old van as well. Now if you dont leave your van too long with the streaks on there is a shampoo called Caravan Shampoo,its available from Poundland and Family Bargains made by Carpride and I have found it does what it says on the bottle and a £1 a bottle it has to be worth a shot . Good Luck.

Hi, I've always used fenwicks black streak remover spray on, leave for a few seconds then wipe off, easy, never had any problems then used a good quality wax polish to make future removal easier
Hubby used 'Muck-off' on the van this weekend. It's for cleaning bikes, but did a fantastic job on the van - no black streaks left at all. In fact those areas are cleaner than the rest of the van, so he's got to wash the whole thing with muck off now!
The black streaks are only grime that has washed down from elsewhere on the caravan so rather than constantly cleaning the streaks it is easier to wash the rest of the caravan down with a decent quality shampoo such as Autoglym and then give it a good polish. I normally use the Autoglym resin polish but if I am out and about I use Showroom Shine and I must say I am quite pleased with it. If you do get any black streaks when away for a long break the Showroom Shine will at least enable you to clean and wax quickly without using a lot of water (except where it is very mucky).
