First, let’s look at what NOT to do:
The best method to clean your vehicle isn’t so much about using a specific item or method, it is about avoiding using the wrong tools and methods.

Caravan exterior
Cleaners for caravans that are commercially accessible, known as caravan wash-n wax or caravan waxes can be effective in cleaning the exterior of your caravan.
