I am repeating this question from the technical section:
Here goes!
I know this is a perenial question but can someone confirm that Brasso or similar will take the stratches off the windows of my Bailey Auvergne? I'm not keen to experiment 'till I see the opinions. I thought I was being very clever when I had a fantastic "stone guard' made to fit over the entire front of the 'van. The manufacturer even fitted clear see through plastic (or whatever) windows to the guard so that I could see through the 'van when towing.
Trouble is there seems to be some kind of reaction between the plastic of the stone guard and the acrylic windows which is leaving a miriad of little "scuff" type marks all over the front windows where ever there is direct contact. The plastic is the same as is used in awning windows. I haven't spoken with the maker yet as I'm still on holiday (summer in the antipodies you see)but wonder if any technical buffs in the UK might have an answer for me. I don't think it is "movement," although there could be a little, as the stoneguard is mounted via the awning rails on each side and pulled tight with adjusting straps.
I am looking at the possibility of putting a "spacer" between the acrylic and the "plastic" of the stone guard. I need the protection for the windows as there is no spares backup here in NZ should I damage a window and consequently a big wait while shipping one out from the UK.
