Apologies if this has already been discussed.
My motorhome is parked on my driveway which has a Sycamore and an Oak tree overhanging from council land. I have tried to get them to cut the overhanging branches, which they have, to an extent, but have been struggling with a van roof covered in tree sap. It would be an understatement to say it was a mess.
I have tried all forms of cleaning products from alcohol hand gel to Traffic Film Remover but have never been able to clean the roof.
Last month I bought a 5 litre of Jennychem Caravan Cleaner and finally got round to cleaning the roof last week. I have a snow foam adaptor on my jetwasher and covered the roof and left it for 5 minutes. I used cold water in the jet washer and have to say the result was remarkable, this stuff is pure magic, I spent 3 hours cleaning the whole van and it has never looked so good.
Anyone suffering a similar problem, give it a go, I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.
I’m gutted I never took before and after photos as I would show how good this stuff is.

Quick question Squeakin did you dilute the caravan cleaner before the snow foam application? If so what ratio did you use?

Many thanks, Paul aka CTJ
