Hi All,   Now this may be not possible at all, I currently use Fenwicks to wash van etc but I think after years of use their is grime on it that I can not wash off.  Hhence my question is it possible to T-Cut a Van?

Thanks in advance

I think T cut is fairly harsh. If you've tried the various proprietory caravan grime removers without any success, then if I were you I'd try Hob Brite - designed for ceramic hobs - but far gentler than T cut. Try it on a very small area first. We've used it to successfully remove scratch marks caused by a tree branch.

I used T-cut to remove some tar from the back of my van and it worked a treat.  As said before just try a small area and just rub gently.

Hope this helps

I have always used t cut on caravans and had no problem in 15 years. Don't do it too often and be gentle with it.

Ah but Bill - You've got a Hymer (me too) and they have very thick paint!!

I have now, but the two previous vans were an ABI Award and a sprite europa, neither of which were particularly well endowed with paint and T cut was still a viable proposition. The van before that was a De Reu a funny looking Belgian van with bobbled aluminium skin, putting any sort of polish or cleaner on that was a nightmare.

 

 

No do not use T-cut or any other cutting compound, caravan paint is not designed to be done with this stuff and it will remove paint, I learnt by experience and ended up painting the whole of the roof of our van as a result. OMF will give you the best advice on using Fenwicks which in my humble opinion is second to none!

tell you what   i  used to use  on my old 1970s  caravan  .  turtlewax hardshell wax .the green  stuff  like shoe polish. It  used to take off all the  black  stains that  nothing else  touched  and no  damage , plus a  nice water beading shine  

 Word of  caution -- I   disasterously   tried bleach on roof  once  and it  took the  paint off  ,had to  paint it
