Title: Caravan
Post by: The Classic Man on June 15, 2010, 03:37:24 PM
Hi folks I need some advice. I have an 8 year old caravan which I have had since new. Problem is the front panel which is fiberglass has become mat finished. I polish it with Auto Glym which is firs class for the rest of the van but not very good for the front panel. Has anyone got any sugestions for a good cleaner/polish?.

use ONLY caravan polish these fronts are a kind of plastic not fibreglass you can badly damaged the finish otherwise.
if it already has been rubbed with an abrasive you can get a special polish to repair it , last time i did one i got it from screwfix , its called polycarbinate polish or similar, design for fixing scratched baths etc

I have always used 'Silky Cream Cleaner' for 'boats & caravans'.
That 40 years worth of doing my dads vans for pocket money
 & for gain & reward,
never found anything easier or better for the money.
I then protect with MER, not very proffesional but it works.

PS, i have used Farecla as a cutting compound & with polishers, but these
have always been their abrasive products.(dont know if they do non abrasive now)
Not really advisable on aluminium or anodised coated surfaces.
& never on plastic windows
