    Great video again Mark and I can really see why cleaning the way you do is essential for your sales but is it really that important for EVERY van out there to be 'perfect' lol??? Part of the joy of having a van is the fact that its had a bit of life.... they can't all stay immaculate forever lol.... take care 'The Camp Caravanners' x

      Our c'van is silver metallic and still relatively new but after it has been washed, I buff it up with some pink spray polish I got marked down at Tesco. Takes about 20 minutes to do entire c'van. Think I may have been a magpie in a previous existence...

      @@PaulGrayson-gi8pu to retro bright plastic you cover the yellowed plastic in strong peroxide, wrap it in cling film and then leave it in direct sunlight, once the plastic is back to white rinse it clean. TBH I’ve now found that a tub of pink stuff paste does a better job at whitening plastic and is a lot less messy just a bit of elbow grease

      @@PaulGrayson-gi8pu A dampened microfibre cloth and some elbow grease, keep on wiping it with a dry cloth every few minutes to make sure it has done it's job. I tend to scoop a little onto a microfibre cloth just damp, then apply it vigorously until it begins to form a dry, chalky texture. Then wipe if off using a dry microfibre cloth. Keep on doing this until it has done the job, then apply a nano coating to make sure it is uv protected.
