Hello Everyone....something I could stand some input on is any suggestions on a cleaner type product to rejuvenate the exterior finish on my camper....My camper is a 2006 model and has a fibreglass (filon ) exterior (typical hardwall)....I do store my unit indoors thru the winter but I am the second owner and I am sure it spent most of its life out in the weather..
The filon is slightly faded and I can get it cleaned up somewhat with a lot of elbow grease but ends up better but a little patchy in regards to an even gloss....there is the "cut polish" route which i would like to try and avoid as it can be a tough job and hard on decals (which are hard to work around)....I did cut polish the gel coat fibreglass nose cap and then power wax that area.....not bad... for results....but my main concern is the rest of the camper.. Has anyone found a product that makes a big difference with this issue ? I do clean the camper before putting to sleep for the winter....but like to give it a good cleaning / wax before loading it back on the truck for camping season...Thanks for any input.. |

I've tried all the various spray on miracle stuff and in the end, nothing beats a good carnuba based cleaner wax and elbow grease. If it's easy to put on, chances are it con't last.
