 Posted: Tue May 04, 2010 19:16 Post subject: Caravan cleaning and stabiliser |
 |
|
Went round today to wash the caravan but noticed some marks below the windows(looks like dirty water marks)
What's the best way to get these off?
Already tried car shampoo with a brush, sponge and even a wee bit of Scotchbrite with no luck
Any ideas?
Also, anyone got pics of a bulldog type stabiliser. We got one with the van but I'm not sure if all the bits are there
Any pics of one fitted and how it attaches to the Paj and caravan |

jim road taffic film cleaner is the best stuff iv try for these black marks or polish , as for the stabiliser there should be a plate that fit to your tow bar and a L SHAPE plate with a green or white clip on it that fits on to the A frame caravan then the two join together mate |

STAY AWAY FROM THE PAINT ON A CARAVAN WITH ANY ABRASIVE, EVEN MORE WITH A SCOTCH BRITE PAD
The paint is thin on caravan, and if you expose the alloy, the weather will get right into it.
Black marks, there is stuff in caravan shops for this, cleans up well, and they have some cleaning paste in tehre as well.
Anti snake bars, look here

Don't use sugar soap on your caravan paintwork 
http://www.fenwicks.info/caravan_cleaner.htm
Any caravan shop or Halfords sells Fenwicks Caravan Cleaner. Use a small amount undiluted on a cloth on the black streaks then the diluted stuff ( a capfull in a bucket of warm water) to clean the caravan. A spray over with Fenwicks Bobby Dazzler after cleaning will give a good shine as well.
I have no connection with Fenwicks, I just use it and it's good stuff. |
