Hi, i use this stuff http://www.campingworld.co.uk/Models.aspx?ModelID=1311
and it has never failed to remove marks. It can often be found on local market stalls but this is just the first i found on an internet search.

IT'S VERY GOOD!

When I first got my old caravan I tidied it up a bit. I tried various things to polish it up a bit but found that the paint was quite thin. It depends what your is like but the slightly textured finish rubbed through in a few places, try it carefully.

Autoglym Super resin polish should do the job fine.

Salut!

as steve940 says the paint is very thin and it is not recommended to use tcut,I have seen vans with alluminium showing through in places where it looks like they have been tcut,
I use fenwicks black streak remover but my uncle says he uses a cheap (like asda own) car polish and he says it is better, Will have to try that.

there are a few sites about cleaning, here is a short one

http://www.caravansitesreviews.com/n...ean-a-caravan/

I have used tcut to polish up the plastic headlights on a toyota estima when it failed on the beam pattern for the mot, when i took the car back the mechanic thought i had bought new headlamps

i am thinking of tcutting the scratches out of my caravan windows and then using some fine polishing compound with a polishing mop to finish them off.

i use tcut or colour restorer on my upvc window frames too, then wipe some car wax on them,

thats how abrasive it is
