If you use after-wash products such as Demon Shine or Bobby Dazzler here's a tip to make a bottle go much much further.

Instead of making up a bucket of the solution, I make up a far smaller quantity and use in a spray bottle. D.S. for example is a solution of '50ml to a bucket full of water' which, on average is 2 gallons or 9 ltrs (9000ml). This, if my maths is correct,
is just under 6mls per litre of water.

I use it in a 500ml spray bottle and get about 10 washes per spray bottle full and for the caravan about 5. It only needs a light spray wiped over with a microfibre cloth. It leaves windows less streaky than proprietary window cleaner sprays and I've also
found either of these products to be good for wiping over the interior trim in the car with a barely damp microfibre cloth.

    I do similar John. I take a spray bottle made up of Fenwicks Caravan Cleaner for use on site, as well as one of Bobby Dazzler to use after wiping off.

    Not sure how Bobby Dazzler actually works but it certainly does.

    Bobby dazzler seems to go an awful long way already. Half a bucket does caravan and two cars. Sdmittedly some is wasted

    It does indeed. Two capfulls in a 5 lit spray container does my medium sized caravan with a bit left over. Not tried it on the car, but I will.

    I am really impressed by the product.

    Is this still allowed then? I thought cleaning on site was banned now apart from wiping windows and lights?

    I have yet to pick up my first Caravan, and this is something that I'm very interested in.  Saw a video on youtube of a guy showing how to clean a caravan properly using Fenwicks products.  I remember he had two 10L pump up sprayers, and a squeesy bottle.   He mixed up a solution in one of the 10L bottles, the other was clean water for rinsing.  The squeesy bottle was again for something, can't remember the details, but I loved the idea of the setup.  looked to make the job of keep the van very clean dead easy.

    Here's the links

    Nothing beats Autglym High Definition Wax- protects and polishes like nothing I've ever used- black streaks just wipe away - £10 cheaper at the show- will be restocking in Oct!
