Good product for plastics is aerospace 303. Great for bringing up the cab, bumpers etc. protects them from uv rays. Meguires tyre gel is also great for your tyres, put on with a micro fibre sponge. Do a wee bit of detailing and I’ve found these to be great. Bucket with grit guard plus a micro fibre wash kit will also prevent scratches. Anyway shut up Jason. 😂

[@2planks]

love that forever black stuff, made my 15 year old disco look brand new. lasted about a year before it started to go patchy, but one coat and it’s back to new again.

[@adamsquibb2316]

Colin invest in a snow foam lance and use something like Autoglym Polar Blast to wash off your dirt without using a sponge which can cause scratches and swirls. Apply to a dry, wait about 10 minutes then jetwash off and finally microfibre clothes to dry off. Ideally don't do it in the sun either. Great video again

[@robgardner6399]

Quality video, love the table idea!

[@daveknibbs4046]

Great product review and nice to see someone else other than me cleaning a van!! Brill content Colin 👍👍

[@davidbloomfield4135]

Great video mate, the shelf behind the seat is so simple and great added space you normally wouldnt use....great job mate ACE

[@Wheres_wanda_wandering]

Thank you for the link to the folding table. The van looked beautiful. Take care Gill

[@CamperVanya]

I wish I’d know the fridge front is removable. I put vinyl on mine but it looked more like bubble wrap when I’d finished 😆

[@pgbricks911]

Another quality video 👍

[@PixiesChannel12345]

Vans looking great looks like you have done a lot of hard work to the van a huge like from me.

[@caspervanlife8466]

Your cupboard shelving idea is exactly what I’m doing at the moment. Like you say, utilising ever inch of space for storage is key 👍 thanks for sharing as always…

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Awesome, i will look forward to seeing what you do in your next vid ;)

[@mikepalmer7687]

Excellent vlog thanks

[@jamesholland8129]

Another good video and great shelf solution Colin, but I didn't like the price so got 2 foldy brackets and a bit of silver coloured shelf from B&Q and it looks the nuts! Thank you for the inspiration 😀 Jim

[@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot]

Great mods mate, and enjoying your vids while we can't do any, all the best 👍 😀

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Ah thanks buddy, I have noticed a lack of uploads lately, hope all is ok buddy!

[@MrDods26]

Great Vlog Col, I'll get some of that black restorer 👍.... "Also wear gloves" 🤣 🤣 🤣

[@parkay3560]

arghhhhhhh.. you are a bad man Colin......All this van DIY. I just spent two days blowing led lighting in mine. Thankfully they were only a fiver on ebay LOL. That under sink cupboard fettling was inspired though.... I shall go forth and fettle some whittling wood and make some shelves for mine. BTW.... the roaming Radfords are now using your catch phrases-as am I. great video. see you on next week's

[@derbyjohn972]

Love the new mods. fridge wrap with you 😥😥

[@logothaironsides2942]

You would have hated pantone sheets then. In my job(photo industry) We used to lay them on white background . They are see through and really easy to tear and once you put them down, they are almost impossible to lift without tearing something. It always looks so neat and clean in your home and in the van.

[@petesmith4907]

Get yourself a drying towel it's a game changer so much easier

[@bobhead6243]

Hi Colin , Interesting Dog Toy , 😂 , I hate sticky back anything , never goes on right , until about the tenth try ,🤣😂 , the van is looking good mate , Love to the Family , until next time . 🙂❤👍🦴

[@a1paulh911]

Hey Colin, when are you ceramic coating the van?? ...It'll look stunning for longer between washes - and washing will be so much quicker and easier too!!!

[@terrymoreland3814]

Van looking brill Colin, you really do take pride in it 👍but spending money on it all the time....you sure you're a Yorkshire Man??🤣

[@peakyparttimers9362]

You remind me of Will from wills whereabouts 🤣😆👍. Very entertaining and funny! Nice one 🤗👍

[@ScottishVanTrips]

Love those edits at the start! Call of duty mobile is one to check out! Nowt wrong with PS3!

[@hunglikeadonkeybutnotassmelly]

Peanut butter works for blacking the plastics up. and as a bonus your van tastes smashing. Bet you think I'm kidding don't you ! ( peanut oil is easier though)

[@steve_and_lolas_hikes]

I used the black stuff on the side steps....lasted a few weeks 😏

[@irenedale5256]

Thanks for another interesting video - I wish I was as handy as you - love all your mods esp. where fablon is concerned 🤣. I thought my valeting bag (aka box) was extensive but tiny compared to yours! Looking forward to your next vlog. 💕🐾

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Haha thank you! The valeting box was a 40th birthday gift 🍻😂

'Love your Videos Colin Mate... Question: Did you ever change the DVLA classification from panel van to motor caravan, (is it worth doing and if so why, apart form the additional 10mp? ) Cheers. Diplomacy and the need not to upset these geniuses at the DVLA preclude me from reviewing their amazing change over criteria..... Maye you made a vid about it but i can't find it...? Take care.

[@garywatkins5954]

Hi Colin, love your videos. My wife wants to know what vacuum cleaner you have! Random I know. Cheers.

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Haha as far as random questions go, that's the winner 😂😂... We've had it a few years but it's a shark (the animal one, think it's called anti hair wrap from memory)

[@Ivorbigaone]

Just my opinium but front bumper would look better colour coded white. Van looks mint as it is tho

[@colinwestwood1162]

Excellent video as usual, can forever black be used on the dashboard/doorcards??

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Cheers bud, I don't see why not. There have been a few I have seen put it on yhet doors!

Nice video as always. But me thinks you could do with a new pressure washer. Lol. 👍🤣 If you need it ceramic coating give me a shout.

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Haha even that one was donated by the in laws 😂😂

[@andyknight8108]

Did you move your gas safety vent in the floor as well?

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

There was already one there matey, that's where the bottle originally was so all's good buddy!

[@stevezodiac491]

Just use tyre wall black on your bumper, you already had some ?

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

I have been buddy, it only lasted a week or so and I got sick of reapplying it 🤣🤣🤣 so far so good with the new stuff! Still looks black and lovely

[@joetallon8196]

Hey Colin, what cameras do you use to film your KZbin stuff? Cheers.

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Hey bud, I use the Sony ZV1 and DJI Osmo Action ;)

[@angusdavies8582]

Hi Colin, sorry to be a kill joy but is that round white plastic thing not a gas vent in the bottom of the cupboard under the sink? Isn’t that supposed to be under the gas canister for safety reasons? I only ask coz I am just at the point of converting a very similar van and scratching my head about fitting such a vent. Totally love your videos buddy by the way 😊

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Yep you're 100% correct matey, I have another in the other cupboard as that's where the gas used to be when I first built the van... A good point well made though.. ;)

[@apppbbbb]

How has the black bumper dye lasted Colin? Looks fresh on your newer vids, but I'm wondering if it lasted before I do mine :)

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Hey Ash, it's been great on the bits I cleaned properly... The bits I missed, not so great but that's totally user error... My advice, clean first, then clean again and then clean once more just to make sure all the residue has gone

[@apppbbbb]

@@Yorkshirepoptopadventures top man. No doubt I'll miss loads!!

[@Okorblimey]

Does your tambour door rattle like mad when travelling? Drives me mad!

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Yep, absolutely drives me mad, I usually stick a bit of cardboard in the sides if we are going far ;)

[@helentinkletoesadvsfromacb]

no point trying to do anything but go to otley show really. suppose you could bob down to yorkshire trading for more "dog toys" 🤣. Bit of feedback from one of the twins "needs more cat shots" apparently cats are far better. Not sure branston or our meg would agree tbf

Would the Forever Black help with grey hair? Asking for a friend! 🙄😂

[@tomwhittaker1558]

Hia, how are the bumpers holding up? Did the black last? Cheers

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Hey Tom, where I'd cleaned the bumper properly (99% of it) it has stayed on fine... The other 1% has started to come away..... Next time I'll make sure it's cleaned to within an inch of its life :)

[@tomwhittaker1558]

@Yorkshirepoptopadventures thanks for the reply mate. Gonna be tackling it in the next couple of days so wish me luck 🤣

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Haha good luck matey and if I can give you any advice... Once you think it's clean, clean it again ;) enjoy

[@DS-cf1zc]

Man revs jigsaw as passing unlucky black cat passes by. And you moan about being OCD - and those wires in the back of the cupboard are driving me nuts, they need to buried in channels, and concealed from view. 🤣 The only observation I would make - (and just saying) - the gas air vent is now in the cupboard that doesn't hold the gas cylinder.🤔 Not sure if that is a clever idea or not. Burst out laughing when you felt it necessary to indicate the dog toy - what else could we have believed it was? 🤔 Careless Branston.

[@DS-cf1zc]

And I forgot to add, I always wondered who bought those Auto Glym sets - now I know...

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Haha brilliant... Also, just got your email, must be a conspiracy, yours went to my junk folder too 😲! Thanks re: the gas drop out, I have two (there is already one in the other cupboard as I didn't know where I'd be putting the gas when I first installed it so all is safe ;) ) Couldnt believe it when I was editing the video, 😂 the dog toy looks well suspicious 😂😂😂
