the paint on a caravan is pretty delicate compared to that on your car. I've never come across Vistal so can't comment, but you need to be careful even using T-Cut on a caravan's paint. As CY suggests, a good car polish & a tub of elbow grease would be your best bet.

I have now cleaned my caravan using Vistal and the result is excellent. All signs of oxidation have been removed and I now have a 12 yr old caravan with a showroom shine. It was easy to apply; damp the sponge, rub the sponge over the Vistal, squeeze the sponge to get a foam and then apply in small areas, rinse off using a hose and then 'polish' up with a soft cloth (these are the instructions on the pot and are demonstrated in the You Tube clip which is an honest picture of the result). I did the polishing whilst the caravan was still damp. ED and Cy, I used a good car polish some time ago but it did not remove the oxidation. but thanks for your comments. BB give Vistal a go it worked on my caravan, I don't think AutoGlym will remove oxidation. It is not cheap but would be well worth investing in if you haven't got a yachtie friend with some!.

Jill. I have never used Silky so cannot comment. Does it claim to remove oxidation as Vistal does? I note that Silky is much cheaper than Vistal! I wanted to remove the dull oxidation that had built up over the years and Vistal claimed to remove it on boats and caravans.
