Hi Phil, another interesting video. Many of the products I already use but it’s useful to hear what other products are available.

[@lostweekendscaravan]

Thanks Noorman. I think buying the Carplan cleaners in bulk does save money over a period of time. I am on my second crud buster this year. Many thanks Phil.👍🙂

[@paulandsarahcaravanlife]

Hi phil. I do use some of those products already and must agree with you that they work perfectly. Wheel cleaner high wax brilliant 👏 thanks for sharing. Paul and Sarah

[@lostweekendscaravan]

Hi Paul. Thanks. The Crud Buster is great fro green nasty bits. Carplan also make a tyre shine which is good too it doesn't leave a sticky mess when applied. Thanks Phil.👍🙂

You have a great assortment of products there Phil 👍. In your line of work I guess you need only the best ! I just use plain water and microfibre cloths to clean our caravan exterior but I think after 11 and half years our Glamour Shield paint protection isn’t quite as effective, even though it’s stored in its garage. I have to polish out the annoying odd black streak after a rainy holiday. It’s worked a treat on the soft furnishings and carpets though. Cheers and best regards, Rob & Gail 😀

[@lostweekendscaravan]

Hi Rob n Gail I hope you are both well. I often wonder about ceramic coatings but having read another comment on this video I may look at another product instead. Shield protection coating can last a longer time if applied properly in the first place clearly yours was. Thanks Phil.👍🙂

No Probs BB. Thanks Phil.:)

Hi Phil another brilliant video, I’ve been working my way around my caravan using a couple the Aldi products for black streaks and for the windows, good results. However one thing that I did come across was 3 lines of scratches on the side window which I have rubbed across some overgrown bushes when last towing. Remembering one your previous videos, I used T-Cut and the scratches disappeared. Your tips are great please keep them coming…. All the best 👍

Caravan Magic! Great choice Phil! Zoflora- we use for a clean fresh smell in our toilet block on the caravan site, although we use Caravan Magic power cleaner to disinfect 100%. Keep up the good work!

[@lostweekendscaravan]

Thanks for watching. I told you I use crud buster. You will have to send me some Caravan Magic Power Cleaner and I will give it a go. Many Thanks Phil.👍🙂

Hi Phil Thanks for the video. As an AVID car detailer and caravanner here's a few things i do.... Caravan dealers typically charge £500ish to ceramic coat your (new) caravan however... once you've cleaned your caravan give it a rinse with GYEON WET COAT. This adds a protective ceramic layer to your caravan with extreme beading so it stays cleaner for longer. You can buy it for around £10 simply spray on your cleaned caravan and rinse off...no wiping..repeat about every 3 months...longer lasting ones are readily available now. You also missed the tures...which can crack with sunlight and look poor when dirty ...again a ceramic tyre dressing takes no time to apply and protects the rubber from those UV rays and water beads straight off. Alternatively there are products which add a ceramic coating which last longer eg Autobrite Hard Coat but these need to be sprayed on and wiped off as opposed to spray on and rinse with the Gyeon Wet Coat Re the acrylic windows...i use Autobrite Vision Plus which can be used on acyrlic windows...again it adds a ceramic costing so dirt and water bead off leaving no water spots...great on car windows to ...dont even have to use wipers (disclsimer ...i dont recommend not using wipers..LOL!)...you can also use it on shower screens and interior glass Thumbs up and looking forward to the next one!

[@lostweekendscaravan]

Thanks for your detailed comment. When you clean as many vans as I do sadly the Gyeon Wet Coat although great costs too much and folk will not pay for it. I have ordered the Autobrite Vision Plus for my own and will give it a whirl. On the car I tend to use Rain-X but I will try the Autobrite Vision Plus. many thanks for your product tips. thanks again Phil. 👍🙂 PS I highly recommend the Crudbuster.

[@colinrimmer789]

Hi Phil I’ll give the alloy wheel cleaner a try 👍

[@lostweekendscaravan]

Hi Colin it is very good. I don't use it on black painted wheels. There Tyre Slik is good too as it doesn't leave a sticky film. Thanks Phil.👍🙂

[@Mike-ip8hg]

Loving your videos mate, just a quick question I was always under the impression that you’re supposed to use the correct cleaning products for the caravan i.e. car wash car shampoo can eat into the silicon because they’ve got different chemicals in. Is there any truth in that.

[@lostweekendscaravan]

Hi Mike good question. The Car Plan Shampoo is quite mild but effective as is the wax rinsing agent. I have used this on my own van for years and have had no issues what so ever. Most Caravan Cleaning product are car cleaners with a different name and price. It is more down to the end user. Also no pressure washers though. Thanks Phil👍🙂

[@M..R....]

Just make sure the shampoo is pH neutral...a ceramic car shampoo is best as it adds a layer of SiO2 ceramic protection to your caravan and you can get these very reasonably now

[@Jammyhorse]

@@Mike-ip8hg the main thing is to avoid abrasives and acidic cleaners which will damage you caravan and silicone seals. Caravan Magic products are specifically designed for caravan care as they are non abrasive and ph neutral- and can therefore be used on cars and motorhomes too.

I have just used Jennychem caravan cleaner for the first time to say I’m impressed is an understatement.
