Polish / wax Carthago compactline

Hi all what polish is best to get water lines off Moho please

I'm having great success in removing black streaks with Silky paste. First time I've used it and it is working a treat.

I'd avoid Fenwicks Caravan Cleaner. I bought some but TBH it was no better at removing dirty streaks than the v poor results when using Fairy liquid.

I tend to agree, I have never achieved the claimed performance of Fenwick's products. Yes, they work but no better than much cheaper products, in my opinion.

A good quality polish to get the traffic grime off make sure there is no silicone in it as you must not use silicone on GRP areas.
Then finish with Colinite 476S wax.

I love the way that the fenwicks team at the shows used to demonstrate their products. I worked right up to the night before going to one show and the van was filthy outside having been under trees for months. Sitting outside having a beer and a break at the show and a chap came over and asked if he could demonstrate a new wonder product for me. Anyway, he cleaned an area about a foot square and asked what I thought. Lovely I said, but by this time a crowd had began to build up watching. Then the heckling from the crowd started..."bet it won't clean off those black marks?" So he did those too and on it went for an hour or more until the entire van was cleaned

I bought a bottle and so did loads from the crowd, but I bet he had no intention originally to clean the whole van. The spectacle even got mentioned at the closing ceremony for the show. Certainly did the company no harm with the excellent advertising

You can buy specific polish for GRP.

Do not use T Cut

Colinite is a very good wax as said above.

Would not recommend washing up liquid as I believe it strips the wax. I use a marine grp polish harken mclube hullkote, works for me, it removes black streaks as you polish, bloody expensive but a tub last me a couple of years. Always seams a waste of time to me as the first time I use it, always ends up filthy before i manage to pitch.

So is that a wax or polish as wax doesn’t normally remove stuff just layers over.

edit just had a look it’s a polish

I've never waxed mine in ten years. The black streaks are from roof run-off and drips from the bottom of windows. I suppose it would be easier to remove them if I did wax the body but the m/h is the same as my car which is at its cleanest the day I buy it and the day I sell it.

Just amended original post, always thought it was a wax, only by chance (laziness) I tried it on the streaks without cleaning them off first, I do use a shampoo and wax as well. It has jumped up from £28 to £45 so I may try something else.

Lots make the same mistake with other products

Nothing wrong in a good polish, a good wax or sealer is needed after though

 

[CazPaul]

Star Brite marine cleaner wax to get rid of them then star Brite marine polish with ptfe

Good stuff
