My next door neighbour must of been painting his fence panels and as a result some stain has splatted the sides and front of my caravan. The front is Fibreglass and the sides are aluminium.
Does anyone know how I can remove this from my caravan.
Any help gratefully accepted.
Cheers guys

I had exactly the same thing happen to me many years ago.
If the woodstain has "gone off" and hardened I would try T Cut. This worked well for me.
Mind you I did take a tilt at my neighbour. I pointed out what had happened and said that if he wanted to repeat this kind of work near or around the caravan, just let me know, and I'd be happy to move it out of the way.
At the time I was bloody livid - the caravan was only three months old!
Thanks everyone for their comments. I will look into your suggestions. I was livid too. My caravan is five years old but I have really looked after it.
Regards

I thought I was alone in having a stupid neighbour, she went a bit pale when I suggested the damage could costs thousands to put right. Luckily for her I managed to remove it all with car polish. It was fortunate that I noticed her doing it and was able to remove it immediately. I suspect on the paint it won't be so bad but fibreglass can stain. Good luck with getting rid of it.

Is it safe to use on a caravan with Fibreglass front/back and aluminium side.
Its seems a lot of money for such a small job, does it only come in this size.

It would be worth trying a dab of white spirit on a cloth first. Meths is also worth a try. I would only use T-cut as a last resort as it may cut right through your paint. It is fine on glassfibre though.

If you were to use rubbing compound you might well be in danger of cutting right through your paint, but T Cut is really quite gentle by comparison and although it is abrasive it's not in the same league as rubbing compound.
