Caravan Cleaning

Caravan cleaning involves:

Exterior

If a caravan is left dirty the surface finish will soon deteriorate. As pollution degrades the gel coat finish. Always make sure the caravan is cleaned sealed, polished and protected.

The 3 stages to maintaining the your caravan

1) Preparation

We carefully check all areas of the caravan for damage and report our findings.

2) Cleaning & Polishing

We use our own Dri Wash product range that will clean and polish to caravan to a high shine. Do not use usual household washing up liquid for this process as they generally contain salt which can harm the aluminium panels and mouldings.

3) Protecting

Once the van has been cleaned and polished our protectant will keep it in first class condition and using our system is an important step in preserving the finish of the fibreglass.

Windows

These are double glazed polyplastic acrylic windows which, when closed seal onto rubber mouldings around the window aperture. These are cleaned with our Dri Wash product range with no harmful effects unlike products such as petrol, acetone or other solvents that will cause damage.

Frequency of our service

This obviously depends on where the caravan is stored. If stored under trees your caravan may require cleaning every month at certain times of the year. In a cleaner environment, cleaning every 2-3 months should be sufficient and if you are in the fortunate position of being able to store the caravan under cover, our service every 6 months should suffice.

If a caravan is not maintained this way the surface finish may deteriorate. The first sign of this is a dulling of the surface finish, which may be more pronounced on the areas where the most wear occurs, ie the front and back panel where all the water running off the roof flows down.

The dulling of the surface is the first sign of an inadequate routine and the caravan should immediately be thoroughly cleaned, sealed, polished and protected. Our product range will place an UV protectant on your caravan, stopping fading.

If you store your caravan under cover when not in use or even just over the winter period, this will help maintain the shine, carports too will help, but the clear type of sheeting which some are made of, will still allow ultra violet light

through, which negates the benefits slightly. A cool dark garage is ideal as it cuts down the cleaning required and keeps the showroom shine on the caravan almost indefinitely. You will also find the life of the mastic seals etc are extended because they are not subjected to the extremes in temperature that a caravan store outside experiences.
