Caravan Cleaning ????????

[jims-terrano]

i am in agreement, i like silky because it is efective and cheap, but be carefull as it is mildy abrasive, I have also used astonish cream cleaner in a tub and it sems the same as silky. folowed by cheap wash and wax


most caravan specific cleaners seem to be very exspensive for what they are!

I agree with Plank and the others about Silky but then I used to give it a polish with turtle wax or something to help stop muck sticking.

I use Autoglym carshampoo/conditioner, but then in the rinse water I use Fenwicks Bobby Dazzler. This seems to discourage dirt & marks from becoming too stubborn, in fact the one part of the van that does not have a regular (2-3 times a year) wash & rinse with bobby dazzler (the roof) is the only part that looks particularly filthy.

Hi Toolbox

I use a power wash cleaner from B&Q on my caravan and then hose off and it removes all green mildew. I then go over it with Mer polish and it comes up a treat every year. Best of luck

most carvan clubs advise against jet washing caravans can cause serious leaks

My guess is that they tend to expose rather than cause leaks.

i dont know, the pressure of the water hitting them could make the panels flex around the seams and open them up, also high enough pressure to blast out any seam sealer that is past its best. remember caravans tend to last a lot longer than cars and get serviced even less frequently.
