Diamond Bright - alternatives
We've ordered a new caravan and one of the options is a Diamond Bright coating (inside and out). Is there any cheaper and equally effective alternatives for the exterior? We don't see the need for an interior coating, but the advantages of an exterior one are many. We've heard also that the coating needs reapplying say every 2 years.
Autoglym have been mentioned as a product/brand. Has anyone had experience of doing it themselves? We've no aversion to rolling up our sleeves and applying a coating and polishing, but would like to know members' thoughts on what to use

If it's anything like car dealers, the only reason they push it, is because they get a healthy commission on the sale. I've had three cars done with a similar product in the past (supposedly included in the deal - I wouldn't pay for it outright) and its only lasted a few months.
I polish our van two or three times a year with Autoglym and only ever wash it with Stardrops (it doesn't have salt in it and therefore doesn't remove the polish like some detergents). The van is gleaming and any streaking (which doesn't happen much) easily washes off again.
If you're having to pay for it - personally I wouldn't bother. You can buy a lot of Autoglym for the same amount.

Fenwicks have a product called Bobby Dazzler Shield. I've seen it applied to a car (in exactly the same way as Diamond Bright) and the results were amazing.
It costs a fraction of the price and if you can do the van yourself, it will save you a small fortune.
