FRANKP60 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Hi Started spring clean of van today ,I am sure there has been a thread about this in pass,but to save time. Have several black streaks on side of van ,all coming from where there are black seals .IE under side indicators ,under the toilet removal door ,water filler door ,all have rubber seals aganst the van.Is there a way to stop these marks, they come off with T cut but then so does the polish.

ips Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Dont think you can stop it but I wouldnt use T cut I would use "fenwicks black streak remover" or "one dry wash" fenwicks is available all good caravan accesory shops one dry wash available online. I use the latter for car and MH instead of a wet wash it is an excellent product and puts a polish finish as well as cleaning truly great stuff.

paulmold Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I'm sure you have a tin of WD40 somewhere, wipes the black streaks off with ease but keep it away from decals or they will wipe off as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Leake Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Do it the safe and quick way. Use a marine GRP polish if your van is GRP or a good quality car polish if it is painted aluminium. The streaks will come off with ease, leave a good finish and will not harm the surface. Do not be tempted to use a car polish on GRP as it may degrade the gel coat. The GRP cleaner is safe to use on painted surfaces such as the bonnet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayjsj Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 FRANKP60 - 2012-03-06 5:02 PM Ho Colin,sorry being a bit thick here what does GRP stand for. Glass Reinforced Plastic. (Fibreglass). For the black streaks I use 'Greased Lightning' spray polish. My Autocruise has GRP body panels and roof. and it works fine on it. Keeps the bodywork shiny for weeks.

lennyhb Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I find the Caravan Cleaner Aldi have on there offers 2 or 3 times a year works best & it's only £2.99 I always stock up with a few bottles when they have it, great for washing the car as well no wax in it.
