Our van sides and roof are aluminium but the back panel and the overcab plus the sections between the cab and sides are GRP.
I don't know how it had been cleaned before we bought it but since we did we have used Onedrywash as we did on the previous van. That has been great for the aluminium parts but the GRP seemed to have greasy ingrained dirt. Perseverance with Onedrywash cleaned the overcab but the muck never really came off the back and the bits behind the cab properly, resulting in patchiness.
Some time ago I saw a post about Broken Link Removed from Poundland being effective and bought some but didn't use it immediately. This morning we finally got round to trying it and it really does do the job.
It takes a bit of elbow grease and the result isn't perfect yet but it's a good start and we'll take a "little and often" approach, using Onedrywash afterwards as it leaves a polish coat which makes subsequent cleaning easier.
