When we returned from Alaska a couple years ago we used "Aesome all purpose cleaner" from the Dollar Tree store it cost $1.00 and was truely awsome for cleaning all the road gunk off the Scamp. Awsome also makes a carpet spot cleaner that works great.

Awesome is Awesome! It is my go to cleaning product! I use it for everything except leather seats in my truck. All my walls, toilet, sink, refrigerator, everything! Love it! AND it is $1.00 a bottle and you can seriously dilute it and save even more money. I have seen it in some Walmarts also.

Just finished cleaning the ensolite in my Trillium. Used scrubbing bubbles and it worked awesome! So clean now

this is something that I have had great success with with boats....once you've cleaned the FG with your favorite home "recipe" cleaning solution (mine is very hot water + Mr Clean + an amount of any kitchen scouring powder mixed in) any left over dirt, streaks and bugs can be removed using methyl hydrate

methyl hydrate is basically alcohol... it routinely gets repackaged as lock de-icer, gas line antifreeze, paint thinner and stove fuel (for non pressurized alcohol stoves)....and that just the ones I know of

if you have any of these products around you could give it a try on a test surface to see how you like it

packaged as just the chemical it is really cheap and that's good because you will use a generous amount of it....no other clean-up / rinsing required...exposed to the air alcohol evaporates

I have never found anything that works as well for removing the black streaks left over on FG (caused by rain/pollution) after of long winter of outside storage

Careful! Methanol is very poisonous and is absorbed through skin. Read the MSDS before using.
