I seem to remember that advertiser and if I am correct I think they were on this forum many years. I think one of their claims was that if you used any other product on a Bailey caravan it invalidated the warranty on panels?I had a 2005 S5 Bordeaux and did pretty well what Bluetonic posted. When I sold it in 2014 the buyer commented on its excellent condition. I seem to recall that during my ownership Bailey promoted a separate cleaning manufacturer and that manufacturer in their adverts stated they were approved by Bailey.
I remember this being bought up on a previous post. I checked my handbook and it doesn't say thatInterestingly, Bailey is quite insistant that car shampoos are not used to clean their caravans and indeed make reference to the use of carnauba wax also not being used
Washing up fluid is brilliant if you want your caravan to look like a zebra crossing! LOL!The manual also states that you should use mild dishwashing detergent which I would never use
My manual definitely does Not include the use of diluted washing-up liquid, but does include the reference to NOT applying carnuba-based wax. My manual is 2018.Washing up fluid is brilliant if you want your caravan to look like a zebra crossing! LOL!
We had a Bailey for a number of years and used nothing but car wash and wax shampoo to clean it ,no detrimental effects ,did a good job.Interestingly, Bailey is quite insistant that car shampoos are not used to clean their caravans and indeed make reference to the use of carnauba wax also not being used.
You make a very good point about the finish, and as a newbie and also someone who is used to using such materials, your advice and previous experience have been invaluable. So I think I will be disregarding their advice.
