Our Avondale is a little older, when we bought her the f/glass was dull with what looked like paint oxidization, (red car sindrome) I tried most things and resorted to T/cut followed by hours of waxing using a "good polish" but the final effect is good and has not lost the shine 2 years later.

We pay a lot of money for our Caravans and its always best to make sure the product has been ;

a) Tested by a leading magazine, and they then give there expert view

b) Designed specifically for Caravans

c)Good value for money

 

 

You never miss an opportunity to kick the backside out of the advertising do you ?

Fenwick and Mer for me. Always have, always will !

Will these polishes bring the shine back to the glass fibre front and back end?

Hello Richie,

Because the polish has a blend of optical brighteners the answer would be yes.

Practical Caravan did a major Caravan Cleaning Test and there 10 year old Wren Caravan Front Panels was the best they had seen for a very long time.

Isnt that Bleach that you use, or something like it I have a bottle here that I wont use as the PH is so high I could do my hair with it...

Do any of you use proshine spray and shine on your caravans, I use it on my car now and then and it is really good.  The other day when they were selling it on ideal world they showed how they'd used it to clean a caravan.  Not having a caravan myself I'm not sure if it's any good or not but perhaps with a bit of an investigation, might be worth a look.  I know you can use it on all sorts, I have cleaned my double glazing and garden furniture as well as the car.

That just reminded me to get some Bobby Dazzler by Fenwicks

Very easy to apply and no polishing

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I tried Fenwicks Caravan cleaner and Bobby Dazzler for the first time while away last week, to say I was pleased with the results is an understatement. My caravan is kept in storage where you are not allowed to wash your van so the only option I have is to do it at my leisure while on the caravan sites or pay the storage people £20 to do an ok/poor job using god knows what chemicals.

As a result my caravan was dirty with quite a few black streaks. The fenwicks cleaner was so easy to use and removed all of the grime with just a couple of passes of the sponge. I then put the Bobby Dazzler into my watering can with the rinse water (as per instructions) and was left with a sparkling caravan with very little effort. So there you have it another Fenwicks Convert.
