I think there could be a list of people who would like their roofs done

Mer Polish gives the van a lovely finish

Very easy to work with.
Van sparkles when finished.

Took the powerhose to the roof (not joins/seals) then a brush & motorhome wash. For the stubborn bits for which there where plenty, sprayed some Muc Off on, let it sit for a bit then back in with the brush. Got rid of some tar spots with T-Cut Polish but there's still some left which I need to get back and clear off but that's for another day.

Jack .... err, let me think about that

citrus pre clean is very good for stubborn bits and it wont take any wax or polish off

it is good for a spot clean too, after rinsing if i see a stubborn bit i spray onto a small brush(paintbrush or 1 inch detail brush)brush on to remove stain then just wipe with a microfibre cloth ... job done

I normally use a red scotchbright and fairy liquid and spray with a spray wax out of laziness. Most marks on the roof sides are caused by stopping on the way to meets at a nearby garage with those crap car washes with the overhead spring loaded lances and brushes, the black dirty hoses trail on the roof edges and sides leaving marks. I spent today cleaning the green of the paths and patio with farmyard cleaning acid so might spend tomorrow on the van roof for an hour or two.

Mad Max - bought her in July 2012. If you look to the right, above the cab, you'll see where I attempted to start same probably late 2012.

I suspect this might be the first time it's been given a proper clean up there since new.

How does it last so long?

Mine got done about 4 times last year and it needs done again, I'll have to do it this week.

I park mine in the shed so that might be a help,

I might give it a rub anyway just to keep ahead,
