It depends what the customer is looking for but if you pop along to a local Caravan retailer for a chat you will find they are usually very helpful.

I do the odd caravan and offer from just a Wash 'n' Wax to the Full Monty. Be careful with Polishes though as older metal based caravans have hardly any paint on them. Newer vans are made from composite materials and you will find suitable cleaners for these at the retailers.

That's right, caravans are liable to leak and they then rot inside.

I would reccomend one of the extending car shampoo brushes to clean with. You can mix the cleaning product in an oversize bucket to get the brush in.

I have used a product called 'Bobby Dazzler', (they make caravan cleaning products) in a pressure sprayer after cleaning. It helps the water run off and as you rinse off with clean water it leaves a nice shiny finish. Quick leather to finish off .....stand back and admire  8)

You will probably need a set of steps just to do the roof.

Hope it helps

Here's one I prepared earlier

Non caustic TFR, dwell then WFP - same as a conservatory roof . Most sites only want them brought back to a reasonable standard as cheap as possible. I doubt if you will need to polish them  - I would'nt want to :( :( :(

we do a load of caravans.  We use our wfp setup with some gg3 in a bucket.  gg3 is window cleaning solution. It comes up a treat.  failing that we have a non caustic tfr.
