what product to use for yellowing laminate and lack of gloss
@lostweekendscaravan 21 сағат бұрын
Elbow Grease Spray for yellow plastic. Lack of shine a good g3 cutting compound and polish. Phil.

Can work, but as manufacturer says, DO NOT use on white surfaces. You will fall into a heap of problems if your surface does not like this product. It's very difficult to get off, especially if your not a pro. I like this product for restoring faded black bumpers, pvc composite doors, but not as a gel coat restorer and definitely not for caravans/ motor homes.

Hi. Thanks for your comment. Most Dealers use this product on Caravans. It has worked for me. I was wondering if you have your own solution for this issue and if so could you share it so I can perhaps record a video on it. I will mention your in it as well. Thanks Phil.👍🙂

Hey, I found it interesting when you talked about the aquaroll and wastemaster. Other channels highly recommend them, but it made more sense when you said you usually stay on serviced sites. I'm planning to buy my first caravan next year, so these videos are really helpful!
@lostweekendscaravan 17 күн бұрын
Hi James. The aqua roll and waste master are great bits of kit when not using fully serviced pitches. It comes down to personal choice really. Personally I only use fully serviced pitches. We use the Truma Water system and a home made drain pipe and colapz pipes. ( ihave videos on these items). We have used these items for years and not had an issue. I find fully serviced pitches quicker and easier to use thus freeing up my time to enjoy my holiday. I hope this helps. Thanks Phil. 👍🙂
