Removing Oxidation on a Caravan

No actual experience but given its alleged efficacy on boat hulls and, having had lots of experience of that, it's probably too abrasive for the caravan paint. I have used MER on caravans however which has mild oxidation removal qualities.

Thanks Cyber,  A yachtie friend has some Vistal so I will try some, very carefully, on a small area and see what happens.  There is a You Tube video of someone using it to clean  a dirty/oxidized caravan and it looked very effective. I will report back.

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.

 anyone used AutoGlym 'paint restorer' with success?

I use Silky which is a cream and you apply with a damp cloth. I find it very good 

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!.

Just curious - How does it differ from Silky or Pink Stuff?  Silky advertises itself as caravan or boat cleaner.

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.

I haven't bought Silky so I don't know what it says in the small print on the pot but, as you say, Vistal actually mentions oxidation in the blurb.

I have used Silky once and that was a long time ago. I was not impressed and so it was once only.
