We store our van at the other club site (would love to use CMHC but full with massive waiting list) the other club has introduced a "no washing" policy to save water and the environment. We are only permitted to use a dry wash. I've looked on Utube and seen mixed reviews of dry wash on vans and cars- some say they scratch and you need water. some say dry wash only good for light cleaning not a really dirty van getting it ready for winter cover, others say they are brilliant. We cannot wash the van anywhere else locally.

Has anyone used dry wash? what do you think?

I bought this Waterless Cleaner

2 years back and find it great if the caravan is just grubby.

Have you put yourself on your nearest club storage site waiting list? I waited about 4 months before I got in. I'm now at Alderstead Heath and they have a dedicated wash bay with hose and EHU

Have used the Aldi dry wash for about 3 years with no problems whatsoever, just brush over the van with a soft brush to remove ant grit then dry wash, very easy and leaves a good shine.

Another vote for the Aldi one, bonus, cleans windows inside and out superbly but wash them first to make sure no grit.

I use Turtle wax brand waterless wash brilliant on lightly soiled van, leaves a brilliant waxed finish that last a long time.

Haven’t used it on a really filthy van, in case of scratches and probably harder work too.
