scratched caravan windows

[glenk]

hello to all,just recently i have taken off my cover after the winter, all my windows appear to be slightly scratched by the cover moving about, they are not really deep and the onlyway i can describe them is to say that they appear to look like hand prints on the windows, but when i treid to clean them the marks were still their.

has anybody had this before and what kind of products are available to hopefully get them off

thanks to all for the anticipated replys glen

I bought a cover 4 years ago and used it once, same happend to me (after washing polishing van) could never get the grase marks off no matter what I used. Needless to say I never used it again

Hi Glen.

Use Fenwicks Windowize. Its a thick emulsion that comes in a small tube and is not cheap

Hi,

I use a bit of Brasso on a soft cloth and use circular motions until the Brasso is rubbed in. works a treat,

Cheers,

Jim

You could try toothpaste on a damp cloth - very mildly abrasive and complete with fresh minty smell!

I would agree with Jim - used Brasso on the plastic rear windows of both my Zephyr convertable and A.H. Sprite and it worked a treat - brought the windows up as new.

Brasso was always the polish of choice for acrylic when I was doing me 'A' Level design - though I'm sure the other products mentioned here are just as good, if not better.

I read somewhere that one way of preventing caravan covers from scratching your windows was to first put cling-film on the windows before applying the cover.

Sounds like a bit of a pain in the proverbial to me, but I thought I'd pass it on to those who have a cover.

why not try the stuff decorators and builders use to protect carpets. Its a bit like clingfilm but harder wearing and easier to use.

Never ever put cling-flim on acrylic windows, as you could end up with fractured windows.
