Hi,

I've a 2012 motorhome which we've been using during winter, typically going away every 3rd or 4th weekend Have been washing it after each trip using a cheap (eg Turtle wax, Holts, Car Plan) wash and wax type product. Typically I het wash the underside then wash down with with clean water, wash once or twice with the wash and wax, (depending on how dirty it is) and then occasionally apply a coat of Autoglym Polish.

Paintwork on the (Fiat Ducato) cab section is starting to look a bit faded and seems harder to clean. Habitation section (plastic/fibreglass panels) is suffering from grey streaks near windows/ & doors.

Would like to give a GOOD clean to get it looking reasonably shiny and apply something that makes it easier to maintain. At the moment it takes best part of a day just to do a basic wash, dry and wax which I'm happy do do, just not every week!

Don't need a show finish just want to spend more time enjoying it and less time washing it.

Looking for some guidance on techniques, materials to use or websites offering advice.

Thanks

A pressure washer and snowfall. Some all purpose cleaner and the cab will need a polish once washed. Most of the rest should be waxed quite easily and the wheels, underbody, tyres and behind the doors etc should also be cleaned. If you have a pressure washer everything else can be purchased for under £120 and with some time you will have a well cleaned and protected motorhome. Spend time on some of the product sites and you will see the array of what is available and where best to use it. Any help just ask.
