Just thought I would share this with you all. Over the last 3 weeks I have been going to our Storage site 1 day a week and giving the caravan a good interior & exterior  spring clean.

This week I did the roof. By the looks of it, its not been touched for years. A virtually neat solution of Fenwick's has left it looking almost new and I used this to clean it with Wilko Mop   Its brilliant for £8 and and being double sided you can clean with the microfibre mop pad and dry after rinsing with the the fluffy pad, they also do a 5L garden sprayer for £5 to rinse off with. 

I have also cleaned & polished the exterior with this Cleaner/Polish and it looks amazing. I would recommend both products and are great value.

I have also used this Red rubber paint   to refurbish the faded rubber on the tow hitch and jockey wheel handle. Again both now look like new.

 

Hope the info may be useful.

 

Ian.

    Hi Milothedog,

    Have you got any pictures to show us before and after about the product.

    I haven't unfortunately Brian. Which product ? or are you interested in all of them?.

    The Plasti dip I have used on many things over the years, and my tow hitch looked very tired and faded so I just ordered a small tin in red. the colour is not that much different to the original and the paint itself levels itself out as it dries leaving a new rubber surface. the only thing I would add is it needs a couple coats to build the colour up. It is also available in spray cans but then you need to mask up the bits you don't want painted embarassed

    The Waterless cleaner / polish is endorsed by Bailey which is why I choose it. It's grate to use. All I did was have two micro fibre colths, one to apply and one to polish, it takes no time at all to do the whole van and can be used on the windows as well. I can say without doubt the exterior finish on the caravan now is far better than when we collected it from the dealer last year when we bought it.
