I just use my combination ladder to get up to the top, then I have a telescopic handled foam squeegee thing. Works a treat :y
Washed with Triple wax or Zipwax :y

I mix in little MER polish with the detergent when I wash my 'van. Seems to be effective  :y :y

you will need a ladder or a temporary bridge (u shaped) made from wooden beams..  in either case not easy..  and you will need a polisher as the area is too big..

Jet wash with decking attachment and step?

Not a good idea to jet wash a caravan because of the seals.

I have a platform ladder I use at the moment, and wrap a cloth around the head of a very soft broom, and apply the polish to the duster.

Polish off using the same method, with a clean duster, but it's bloody hard work.

I just wondered if anyone had any better suggestions.

What about some of the GRP restoring products they use in the marine sector?
