The sealant (once white) around the external toilet cassette casing (and the 
battery box) has become very grubby from road dirt etc.  If it wasnt a white 
van it might not be quite so noticable.

Its resistant to the normal wash but I am reluctant to vigourously scrub it 
for fear of damaging the seal. Has anyone found a successful way/product for 
cleaning the sealant.

Very good question I have the same thoughts as to why does these horrible 
black streaks appear to come from the roof of the van, is there a way to 
stop it ?

horrible black streaks) :-)

Hmm another unhelpful reply, why are you people more concerned that a post 
has not been edited cropped or whatever way you want it displayed instead of 
trying to give a decent possible just in your own opinion reply. I use a few 
news groups for my interests but this one seems hell bent on getting rid of 
people for some reason.

Try some white spirit with a clean cloth or meths ,I have had good results 
with both and finished off with a good quality resin polish to help keep the 
dirt out

You did see the smiley???

To get rid of the black marks I use liquid flash, then polishing the
van with a good car wax polish makes it easier to get them off next
time.

Yeah I did but it came on the back of a Mr Diesea having a pop as well :-))

Why I ask the question of what people use to get rid of black marks is that 
there is a rumor/argument from Bailey who say not to use any other cleaner 
than there recommended brand as it would invalidate warranty, as mine is an 
08 van I don't want to get into problems, the meths sounds a good idea and 
then polish. I think the problem Bailey are on about may only be the front 
and back panels, but not sure.

Regards

Rob

I use Muc-off [ www.muc-off.com ] and find it very good cleaning all
awkward and stubborn marks and streaks.
