No matter how well you look after your caravan or motorhome it can sometimes be impossible to avoid minor damage. When navigating your way through roads with overgrown hedgerows, parking in narrow storage spaces or battling against the worst of the British weather, your windows might become scratched. In this blog we are going to give you some practical advice on how to remedy this with caravan window scratch remover and show you how to clean caravan windows without scratching the surfaces.
If the scratches are only minor, then you may be able to treat them with a window polish or paste - just make sure you buy one that is suitable for acrylic windows and use a microfibre cloth to avoid creating any further scuff marks.
If the scratches are deeper, then you might need to use a product such as Fenwicks caravan window scratch remover.
Caravan window scratch remover
Fenwicks Windowize is a caravan window scratch remover that can also treat hazing on your acrylic windows. Try to avoid treating your window on a very hot and sunny day as you'll be creating heat in the treatment process, so operating under hot temperatures could exacerbate the problem and cause further damage to your windows.
Here are a few simple steps to follow to ensure you get the most from this product:
- Clean your window using a suitable cleaning solution designed for acrylic windows such as Fenwicks caravan or motorhome cleaner.
- Once you’re left with a smooth groove, apply a small amount of caravan window scratch remover like Fenwicks Windowize and use a circular motion to rub in the product.
- Finish by using a microfibre cloth or lens cloth (like the ones you use for cleaning glasses) to polish the overall area.
- If using this product to restore hazed windows, apply a small amount to a microfibre cloth and buff in a circular motion, using enough pressure to remove the scuff marks and hazing and wiping away any excess.
Once you have restored the window to its previous state, keep your scratch remover handy for next time.
Whilst products and techniques like this offer great results, doing what you can to avoid scratches will minimise the amount of time you spend maintaining your caravan or motorhome windows.
