We have an 8 year old Senator Virginia which had a Paintseal treatment prior to us buying it new (from Lowdhams the dealer).  Very nice it looks still!!


We've been using pressure wash foam on our new car successfully and I got to wondering if it would be appropriate for our Caravan also?  The link on Amazon for the product is:

I was going to try a small area first, but wondered if you guys had any info or other advice as regards using a foam based pressure wash product?

    I don't know about the product but pressure washing a cvan is asking for trouble. Seals can be disturbed, decals damaged and water ingress encouraged.

    The best thing you can do is keep the pressure washer as far away from the caravan as possible cool

    The snow foam attachments use pressure washers on their low pressure setting, so no mastic seals would be affected  ....... it'd  be no different from using a hose pipe.

    If you look at the paintseal website it will tell you that you should only use their products to clean so you do not remove the coating and invalidate the warranty.
