I have read that a 50% Ali Brite/ 50% water mixture applied with a spray bottle in sectionalised areas, then hosed off cleans the oxidation off. The aluminium is a lot brighter, but needs human intervention to make it shine.

I estimated something north of 150hrs (probably about 175hrs)for a 15 ft caravan. Double that for your 27ft van, plus about 6 - 700 dollars for polish, large stock pile of rags and microfibre cloths, an electric drill and a polisher/ sander and a range of polish mops which will almost get you ready to start.
