I have a second hand camper trailer the annex is barely used so looks new but the camper itself is a bit sun faded and the cover is quite faded. Is there anyway I can make it look like new? :)

Hi Ash
There is a product on the market and it does a fantastic job. It is called Leatherique and can be used on a number of items including canvas and is available in a range of colours. When you paint it on, it is like water and not tick like paint and goes a long way.
My dad had an issue just like you, badly faded canvas, but still in very good condition on his camper. You paint it on with a paintbrush, as per the instructions.
Once dried, your canvas will look like new, totally waterproof and best of all, it does not dry hard, but the canvas will be soft and supple.
Cheers
Stephen

Hi Ash
If you are having trouble trying to find it here in Australia, here is a link to their web site.
Leatherique Canvas Dye
This is where my dad purchased it from
Where you can buy it here in Australia
Also on the above link, if you go into Customer results and feed back, you will see my dads old camper down the bottom, with a before and after.
Cheers

I've used the paraffin type waxes on several occasions.
warm it so it melts & found one of those lambs wool mop for oiling floors with work great.
Doesn't totally restore colour & makes it totally waterproof again.
