I have used T cut but only couple of times a year.If you see how it can restore paintwork on a car you will understand why. You should rub lightly and do small areas.It will make the windows sparkle. I remember being told that if you use it to often it will reduce the thickness of the acrylic window..don't know if thats true or not. Mind you I suppose it must have some sort of light abrasive properties...

warm water with fairy liquid in a good micro fibre cloth and an old tea towel for buffing and shineing i am quite the cleaning fanatic i use this all over the house too better than any polish out there and cheaper too hope this helps shylos


this is exactly what i do or i might use a very wet soapy sponge.. i dont let OH near them as he is too heavy handed. ordinary polish like pledge or sheen. dont use brushes on them.and the rain just runs off as well.

Well I tackled the windows this afternoon - trying the tips for scratches etc -  did the outside with t-cut and finished off with one of those micro fibre cloth thingys - I did all but one of the windows - just to see if a noticeable difference - and yes there is a marked improvement - the window I left looks all hazy and the others look lovely and clear by comparison - So I am well pleased and will finish the job tomorrow (the last window)

Nice clear sharp views from ALL windows, for our next trip - Brill

Thanks

A couple of windows on my Knaus had loads of scratches..looked like someone had cleaned them with a scouring pad.

I read an article in a caravan mag(sorry i cant remember which one) which said to use T-cut making sure you worked in an up and down motion.....the result was brilliant,windows came up like new.
