I have a Chausson Welcome 85 , registered in 2008 , so getting on a little now.
The last couple of years I have noticed the finish on the main outer surfaces starting to discolour and get slightly dirty looking.
Viewed from afar it doesn't look too bad but close up there are many micro cracks in the surface and a grey 'ground in dirt like' appearance.
I have tried normal polish like super resin polish for cars , no real effect.
I have tried mild oxalic acid like the Silky product in the pictures , no real effect. (I used to own a fibreglass boat and this and similar products worked well on waterline stains etc.)
I have also tried the fibreglass restorer pictured, this does work but very very slowly. I would estimate days of polishing with an oscillating power mop.
It's worst at the rear , I've tied picturing it.
Am I missing an easy way or product for this problem. ?
The same or similar polish on my boat worked very well and very quickly. I'm aware the gel coat on a motorhome is much thinner than a boat so maybe I'm being too gentle with it.
I've considered trying my headlamp restoring products on it but this may be too aggressive. ?
TIA
