Just wanted to say thank you so much for recommending the xerapol, I used it on all the windows and it took out all the scratches!! I couldn't believe it, it is brilliant stuff, infact I am going to order some more just incase I ever need it again.
Sorry for resurecting this thread - Lilly - or anyone - did the Xerapol take a lot of elbow grease? I've already tried t-cut and it's not working, probably because I don't have the elbow grease/energy/strength to get it working.

Was thinking of going down the Xerapol route if it works without too much hard work!

ETA: Found this kit on Ebay, quite expensive so before I buy - has anyone tried it?

Hi, I used the xerapol an yes it worked a treat, you don't have to rub that hard, just do a little area at a time.( I did all my windows, coachman 380) I put a small amount on a lint free cloth ( a torn up cotton t shirt )then just rubbed in a circular motion, just press hard enough so your fingertips go pale. Then I sprayed a caravan window cleaner on and wiped the area. Buff it up with clean bit of the same sort of cloth. It really works. Its about £10 from ebay. Hope this helps

Does anyone know if Xerapol scratch remover works on caravan windows, the previous owners of our caravan have scratched the front windows by using a brush to clean them, lots of little scratches all over, looks horrible. They are not deep but there is quite a lot. I have already used Fenwicks windowwize and it has made no difference at all. I don't know what to do apart from having all the windows replaced.
