some one will be along soon to tell you how but i would only use caravan cleaner stuff as if you rub off the gell coat it will be a bugger to clean in the futer and get dirty quik!!!

Just did my hightop with t-cut. Looks great :D , and it was a real mess before I started, algae, tree sap bird droppings etc etc. I am going to wax it soon to protect it and make it easier to clean next time.
Arms aching like Hell now though :cry:
