Red Centre dirt removal

m.j.,

Get some Chemtech CT-18Truckwash, and a small garden pressure sprayer.

Make a solution 1 to 10 of CT-18 and water, spray onto chassis, and leave for few hours, or overnight. Wash off with Gerni or similar high pressure cleaner. Showroom shine.

Can't help you with the canvas. Elbow grease, and bristle brush?

I have recently had success in removing old ingrained Pilbara dirt from the van using what is now my favourite cleaning medium.It is a white sponge like block-can get at Coles /Woolies etc but much cheaper BigW or cheappy stores.Called eraser or something similar.It's just amazing-removes the tannin stains from tea cups with ease and no hard scrubbing reqd.I thought the fibre glass pop top on my van was cream.After a rub over with the magic white sponge block found it was white after all.It just acts like a dirt magnet-wipe and rinse and continue on.A gentle wipe of the pop top canvas had amazing results..It's the bee's knees on glass tiles and stainless steel as well.Give it a try and lets know what you think
Cheers,

Goooday M,J . If you mean the red stain left for central aust ... It will still be there when hell freezers over ..... but you could look at this ....

Chemtech BLITZ, spray on, hi pressure off, comes up like new

Why not leave it there???
Shows it's actually used to do what it was designed to do.

And trying to get it looking like new would waste my time, money and water.

Cheers, John

Thanks to all for your suggestions. It seems the Chemtech wash is the go for the bodywork. We will purchase an eraser block when we next go into town and give it a try. Our concern is will we remove the waterproofing of the canvas with the rubbing so will test it on a hidden area first.

As for the canvas I think Shannon Lush recommends applying really salty water, let dry and lightly broom off.

Just leave the dirt where it is and in a couple of years time it will be a reminder of a great trip
