washing caravan

Try chemtech CT20 wash and wax. You can pick it up from Supercheap. Great for washing the ute and the truck, and have no complaints. I've used it for several years. Not sure of other brands.

I use the Car Wash to clean and then douse it in the Wax option.
I probably do it at least twice a year as I come home.
Might be a bit hard now I have a full size van but that means I won't be spending as much time up the ladder!

Here is an issue that most have no clue about when they buy a fiberglass "thing".

Fiberglass unlike good paint, is porous and not naturally glossy, it is also not highly UV durable.
It looks great when its new and the manufacturer does not have to paint it.

BUT when it gets some age too it ( not much age) it gets dull, dirt and mould stick to it exceptionally well.

To get the dirt, grime, mould and degraded surface material off you need to physically scrub it, with a rag or a not so softish brush, no matter what detergent you use.

The good thing about fiberglass is the colour is thick ..... like up to several mm, pretty much most things will buff out ....... A pretty uggly fibreglass thing can be braught to looking pretty damn fine with some compound followed by a good polish.

the problem with any aggressive cleaner is that it will take off any wax that is there.

If you want a wax job to last on fibreglass it has to be rubbed in well and several coats .......

all this is not so bad ...... a good wax job will make the thing easier to clean ..... and when an aggressive detergent IS used, it will take the wax off and take pretty bad dirt with it.

If all this sounds too much, there are guys around who specialise in detailing fiberglass boats ..... it might be worth getting one of these guys do it once a year or so.

along lines of what bantum has said - suss out whitworths marine or similar chandelry store for boat top coat restorer wax etc.

If it works on a boat within a marine environment be ok for a caravan in my books

I use fibreglass restorer and wax twice a year my caravan is permanently stored outside still looks new at 7 years old you can purchase fibreglass wax and restorer from bcf it mainly used for boats and I wash with ct20 truck wash works great

hi
for regular carwash wash n wax
for 6mthly use a ""cleaner wax"" marine or auto [one shot application ]

Other recommended products
Farecla

UV wax I suspect this has natural canuba
Polymer wax This is synthetic which lasts longer in harsh enviroments

Thanks for all the info. Always get heaps of advice on this site, thanks again and happy travels.
