FIRST WASH IN OVER A YEAR!!! Cleaning & Protecting Your Caravan!!!

[@GMDetails]

Have YOU been injured at Home or Work 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Best intro ever!!, in fact it was the best caravan cleaning video I’ve seen, Certainly more to it than you’d think! Very well explained and demonstrated and it seems that’s what spray sealants were invented for !! 👍 Oh and Happy Birthday to your Dad’s 70th 🎉🎂🎈

[@SparkleanAutos]

🤣🤣 glad you liked the intro mate, I think most people thought it was a genuine ad 🤣🤣 Tbh, I don't even want to think how long it would take to apply a paste wax over the whole thing, doesn't bare thinking about 🤣🤣 I'll pass on the birthday wishes 👍🏼🥰 thanks Graeme.

[@adrianlawrence7224]

I thought the intro was for a genuine commercial. Then I realised he's doing comedy again. Gave me more than a few laughs.

[@SparkleanAutos]

😇🤣🤣

[@davidburgoine1612]

Very good video , Thank you I kept thinking you had missed bits but it was my dirty screen !!

[@SparkleanAutos]

🤣🤣 I've done that many times 🤣🤣 Thank you David 👍🏼

[@paulquickmire4140]

Great to see something a bit different Mark, it's all about the transformation and the owners face to see the sheer delight that you have cleaned their pride and joy, no matter what it is. Well done 👏 👏, Happy birthday to your dad too 🍻🍻

[@SparkleanAutos]

Thank you Paul, really appreciate that... And I'll pass it on 😁😁👍🏼👍🏼

[@istvankovasznai2300]

Woow. This was fun to watch. I used to wash my cars the in the same way. We just bought our first caravan (Elldis Avante 462) and I'm really looking forward to wash it. It gives you lots of joy, isn't it? Nice video any way. Well done.

[@SparkleanAutos]

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Yes, caravans really can be great fun to have! Thanks again 😊👍🏼

[@pmbrowny]

What a fantastic refreshing video! Who knew that watching a caravan being cleaned would be so satisfying. Excellent techniques used throughout, I would maybe consider using a paste wax applied with a polisher but not by hand! 🤣 No wonder you went for a spray sealant. Excellent Matador footage and thank the lord your dad was there to help you out. Please pass on my sincere birthday wishes to Mr Kerr senior. 👍

[@SparkleanAutos]

Thank you Paul, I'll be sure to pass it on 🤜🏼😁 I think if I was going to apply a paste wax, I'd need a week off work!! I know there are professionals out their who wax caravans & boats etc on a regular basis and hats off to them, that is hard work to be doing day in day out 🙌🏼 Glad you enjoyed the change, back to cars next week though 🤣🤣

[@florencekerr4542]

Loved this ...our wee caravan is still looking very clean. So pleased with what you did Mark..lots of remarks how good it looks. will need a redo probably in late Oct time ..😜🥰👍thank you..x

[@SparkleanAutos]

Just try and keep it clean until then 🤣🤣👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@florencekerr4542]

Will do..😛🙃

[@matthewwebb8206]

Hello, I'd really like to see a video on window restoration on the caravan windows please. Top video and I'll be following your content. Cheers, Matt

[@SparkleanAutos]

Thank you Matt, that video is planned - it'll probably be over the winter when the caravan is back at my parents house! Thanks for the comments and kind words, I hope you enjoy the channel 👍🏼👍🏼

[@Senna-xi1gr]

Am using a similar product on my car as your ceramic snow seal. It’s called Gyeon wet look. A get good results.

[@SparkleanAutos]

I've used Gyeon Wet Coat before, excellent product, you're not wrong there 👌🏼👍🏼 I must actually make a video on that one lol 👍🏼

[@shinychariotdetailing9707]

Good man Mark as i have one to do as well so i picked up a few tips here.

[@SparkleanAutos]

Just remember to turn on the pressure washer before going up the ladder!! 🤣🤣 👍🏼👍🏼

[@gillywash1487]

Happy Birthday Daddy Kerr 🎉 Some good tips. I think keeping those joints clean is very important as I’ve seen on my parents one dirty looking water marks dried on which must be from running out of those areas, and a snow sealant is definitely the way to go I definitely wouldn’t want to be trying to reach all over and getting in all the nooks and crannies with a wax or anything.

[@SparkleanAutos]

Thank you Nick, I'll pass it on 😁👍🏼👍🏼 Definitely spray sealants are the way forward... Id even be prepared to do that once every couple of months rather than applying a wax even once a year!!!

[@stevenjones19-m8i]

Hello Mark,what a great video,a bit of a task this caravan was to clean,and the results are brilliant,the clarity on the window is awesome.hsppy birthday to your Dad

[@SparkleanAutos]

Aw thank you Steven, I'll be sure to pass it on 😁😁👍🏼👍🏼 Yeah I wouldn't be taking this on as a business unless it paid well enough, quite the undertaking to do day in day out!!!!

[@Just_Bald_Chris]

Love your style of videos. I would be interested in the polishing of the caravan windows.

[@SparkleanAutos]

Thank you Chris, really appreciate that! A few people have responded so looks like I'm gonna be polishing some caravan windows soon lol

[@briandefreitas5008]

A very interesting video this time would definitely watch more like this especially the window polishing process ie what compounds and polisher where used..

[@SparkleanAutos]

Thanks Brian, I like to try and make a few different things, even if they don't always do well... If get bored just washing the same car week after week 'testing' different shampoos!!! A caravan window polishing video is definitely on the cards now, quite a few requests ☺️☺️☺️👍🏼👍🏼

[@briandefreitas5008]

@@SparkleanAutos look forward to this ..

[@SparkleanAutos]

Thanks Brian, appreciate the support ☺️👍🏼

[@DavidMcBay]

Great video and great demonstration of how to safely clean a caravan mate. If you get it wrong and go with to much pressure you can break through all kinds of seals on them. Would be interesting to see an update on the ceramic sealant a year later mate.

[@SparkleanAutos]

Cheers Dave 😁👍🏼 Well unfortunately the caravan is parked up for the year on a site 80 miles away do that won't be possible 🤣🤣 next time I'm cleaning it though I'll definitely keep track of it 👍🏼

[@thedetailinghobbyist]

Great video 👍🏻 Always interesting to see other things than cars being cleaned, and the different challenges they pose! I’d definitely be interested in seeing a bit more with the plastic buffing/polishing if you’ve got plans for that 😁

[@SparkleanAutos]

👍🏼 thank you mate, I appreciate it 😁 and yes, it is something I've planned on but just wanted to see if there was much interest in seeing it - as you say, it's good to have a bit of variety!!

[@fat-shotgolf2937]

Hi just found your video. Great job. Not sure if you can help, but I'd like to see any vids on cleaning the interior of the caravan, particularly the seating cushions. Thanks 😁

[@SparkleanAutos]

Hi, thank you! To be honest, caravan cleaning isn't something I specialise in but I imagine if your search for interior cushion cleaning or car interior shampoo videos you might find something that helps 👍🏼

[@ObsessiveCarDetailer]

Top video Mark & Happy Birthday Dad 🎂. I know how hard work cleaning a caravan is Mark as we have a static van in Devon and that takes me a whole day to clean. As Im nearly the same age as your Dad (6 months younger) then you can clean mine on my birthday 🤣. I think a few more videos with the polishing machine would be great. Well done mate👍

[@SparkleanAutos]

Haha I'd gladly clean the static for you Martin! I'm gonna have to get the polishers out quite a bit now, a few people have been asking about it! I'll pass on the birthday wishes, and I'll try to remember yours in 6 months time 😋😋🎂🎂 Thanks Martin, your support is always appreciated mate 👍🏼

[@alangligor]

Well health and safety?!?😂😂 A bit different.. but very well put together!! Nice one Mark!!

[@SparkleanAutos]

Thank you Alan...and I didn't fall 🤣🤣 Something different indeed... It won't be a regular thing but more interesting than using a different shampoo every week!!

[@alexlomas1424]

Surgery video, whitty comments were great too. Is there a type of protection that could be applied to the underneath do you know?

[@SparkleanAutos]

Thanks Alex... I'm not a caravan expert so probably not the best person to ask (I don't want to give you bad information!) but I've read from numerous sources that you shouldn't 'seal' the underside of a caravan - not with the likes of Waxoil etc that people would use on a cars underbody! Apparently this is because the underside of the wooden floor/frame needs to breathe and the wood is treated anyway. But to be honest you would be better speaking with a caravan expert, something I most definitely am not 🤣👍🏼

[@alexlomas1424]

Thanks for the reply, “surgery” was supposed to say “superb” by the way haha That makes sense now you’ve said it, I just hear horror studies of rotten boards underneath but maybe they are the lesser or two evils

[@SparkleanAutos]

@@alexlomas1424 haha I assumed 'surgery' was an autocorrect word, my phone does that every day! Like I said I'm no expert on caravans, certainly not underbodies, but I have read that the underside shouldn't be sealed the same way you would a car, for that very reason! 👍🏼

[@andykerr415]

That’s the inheritance right there.... least it’s 1/2 of a clean caravan now... Cracking video, what’s the opinion on the snow sealant? Durable? Nice finish? Still apply a QD after?

[@SparkleanAutos]

For this type of job it's perfect, and on the caravan it should last a couple of months at least.. I wouldn't even bother with a QD, only washing the caravan 2-3 times a year so if just use a spray sealant every time, for all you're using and all the time it takes 👍🏼

[@Senna-xi1gr]

Hi mate great video & oh happy birthday Dad 😀👍🏆. I have found Autoglym motor home & caravan cleaner the best to bring all the plastics back to bright white & rid that yellowness they sometimes take on. I have one question though- after getting the van lovely & clean what do you use to get it shiny again & stop it dulling? Cheers again. 👍

[@SparkleanAutos]

Thank you, really appreciate the kind words and I'll pass on the birthday wishes lol 😆 I'm getting my hands on some dedicated 'lesiure' products (for caravans & boats lol) in the next couple of weeks, one of which is specifically designed to treat that yellowing effect so I'll be making a few videos on those 👍🏼 make sure you've subscribed so you see them (shameless plug I know lol)

[@SparkleanAutos]

As for getting it shinny, once it arrives at a site it's generally given a very quick wash, and followed up with any car Quick Detailer spray 👍🏼

[@dieseldog289]

Hello matey, not sure if you did the video but what product did you use on the windows?? Cheers

[@SparkleanAutos]

I never did get around to the video, well not yet but I do plan on it very soon - the products I actually used there was Meguiar's Ultimate Polish but any decent polishing compound should do it. I would just always recommend testing on a less noticeable area first (bathroom window for example 👍🏼)

[@dieseldog289]

@@SparkleanAutos thanks buddy! Got quite a few light scratch’s to get out, seen a video with g3 before but was worried that was too harsh

[@SparkleanAutos]

Will you be doing it by hand or by machine??? If by hand then it will be a lot more work but will massively reduce the risk of doing any harm whatsoever. By machine and the risks obviously increase but so long as you don't overwork it, keep the speed low and don't apply much pressure - remember it's a soft plastic so it will heat up quite quickly. Do little bits at a time if you're not overly comfortable/experienced. Always better to do it gently 4 or 5 times than go crazy with 1 attempt and go too far!!!

[@downtownlix-5264]

Hi I'm after some advice for black lychen spots on caravan roof, I don't like heights and looking for easy to use for a middle aged lady 🙂

[@SparkleanAutos]

Hi Connie. Unfortunately unless you're in a caravan site near me I won't be able to help lol any chemicals you use would need to be thoroughly rinsed and unless you're happy/confident to go up a ladder then I'm afraid you might have to find a helpful/willing person to do it for you ☹️ As for which products to use, well I've actually recently been sent a lot of caravan/motorhome etc. dedicated cleaning products to test out/review so I will hopefully have a video uploaded on those early summer which you might find interesting - if you're subscribed that is! - I haven't used them yet so can't say if they're any good or not!
