Faded caravan paint

[nicholas guest]

Hello
I have an inquisitive question I have a Bailey Vigo 2016 where the paint as faded does anybody know of a product which I can use to bring back to shine.
I have tried colour magic but made no difference, any ideas

Many thanks

Nicholas

Are you sure it's a painted metal surface and not GRP (fibreglass) where the Gel coat has faded ?
If it is GRP then getting the shine back is not a DIY job

If it is GRP as MrPlodd has asked, the the gel contains the pigment in the resin,the gel coat is applied first then it's built upon using various grades of fibre glass material (called laying up),It could well be that the pigment has faded/bleached due to weathering.

The Bailey Vigo of the OP is a
Polar White' GRP bodyshell .

As said by others not much you can do.
But it’s worth giving it a good polish finish with Auto glym super resin polish or Meguires polish.

As DD comments,it will protect the finish and possibly help prevent/slow further fading

This company comes highly recommended. https://www.tourershine.co.uk/

If it is in one area only be careful as it could be a repair that is discolouring differently to the original gel-coat and any abrasive polish could end up making it look worse.

Exactly what some else we use Autoglym super resin or Mer Ultimate shine polish it seem to leave a nice shine

Mer is very good. Used it on an old car and difference was astounding. On the caravan we used Meguairs 3 step. Hard work so next caravan we had it done by Paintseal and in 8 years never had to use shampoo or polish on the caravan. However in this case the bodyshell is GRP so neither polish will work which is why I recommended Tourershine who are experts and restoring faded GRP.
