WD40 which you should all have a little tin of in your vans is, i find great as a black mark remover. trouble is it shows up the dirt on the rest of the van.
Its also good for getting grease/oil of your hands if youve had to tinker under that big white flap under the windscreen. Also removes sticky label residue.

Hi 1 part bleech to 3 part water in a garden pressure spray, scrub with a soft brush rinse with hose.Also removes black streaks and makes the van roof green gunge free.

A circular wire brush on the end of yer electric drill does the trick!
By the way, what do you call a fly when you pull the legs orf.

Fly spray is quite good for that too.

A few years ago somebody was trying to get the sticky residue from a label off his window, so I suggested fly spray. Somebody else had a real go at me for suggesting that, coz her child licks the window. I'm sorry - who's the rational one here? I gave up at that point.
