- Keeping windows on your tourer or motorhome clean and relatively scratch free is no easy task. This video 9sorry about the length!) hopefully helps you keep your windows clear and also easy to keep clean. With sunroofs and large window areas its so easy for these to become badly scratched over time. If you have a new tourer - look after the windows to keep them looking good and offering clear vision.

Thankyou andy for a great tip on cleaning the window on our caravan I always use auto gym. Trued numinous cleaners polish etc but will be using what you say .I've been caravaning about 6 years you have a lifetime experience in caravaning do a massive thankyo Andy from terry and Emma.
Hi terry
Thank you so much
You actually instigated that video !!! It was on back burner idea but thanks to you it got me on the go - I am always learning too
Glad that you both are enjoying the caravan too if you see me knocking about - usually at shows please come and say hello thanks for comments and watching the channel 👍
Thank you Andy, I enjoyed this as I do your other videos. You do make me chuckle! 😊
Ha ha thanks Lisa I try and just keep it light hearted as I normally chat to folk and thank you for watching the channel I don’t do diy not to be encouraged these days but some other cleaning stuff may appear - cheers Lisa
I particularly chuckle when you get your words mixed up which is a trait I have myself! I am laughing with you not at you! I like anything to do with caravanning so keep them coming and I love your used reviews in Practical Caravan
@@lisabryant9670 you are right I get it wrong should be edited out but what the hell ha ha glad you like my stuff look out for some classic restored caravans coming soon oh please tell the editor of pc 😄
Thank you for taking the time to comment too!
Andy I’ve just cleaned my windows your way yes it works look out is far better will always do it your way. Thank you.
That’s brill Colin I will come round and inspect 👀 glad I was of help thank you for watching
Great tips And advice I always use auto glym glass cleaner and finesse cleaner. I pick up a brand new pheonix 640 in 2 weeks so first job is polish my windows. Your van looks amazing
Window polish by a glim us great but I use it on the car glass but good glad your going to attack those windows to keep on top of them 😊 also enjoy your new Phoenix too and thank you for your super comments about the ranger and vids 👍
Good video, great to see people sharing experience gained over a lifetime.
Your van looks to be in as new condition, sadly vans of that era are starting to get B&Q makeovers now.
Ha ha it’s an 09 usually older when they get the diy treatment 😊mine was new and so looked after but thank you for watching and hope you enjoy more videos going to do one on cleaning wheels on your tourer
Hi Andy. Which auto finesse graphite product did you use. There seems to be so many different ones to choose from.
Its the Graphite Dennis - its got a slight cutting agent plus adds a wax - its good on black cars it doesnt smear - apply sparingly in dry conditions then buff off - it beads well and makes cleaning easier with a wax coating
Always look forward to your videos. It's a losing battle keeping mine clean as we have to store it and the caravan club site make it such a faff to get it out to the wash bay. I pay through the nose to constantly get it covered in oak sap!
Good tips about the windows. I was really weary when I first bought our Bailey as in 2006 there were loads of issues with the windows crazing with micro-fine cracks. We had a couple replaced under warranty but it was a battle to get them to accept it. They tried to say it was down to the incorrect cleaning product which it wasn't. At that time we'd been so paranoid that we'd only used their recommended products. Since them I've used all sorts with no issues, but agree that Autoglymm are hard to beat. I've also used the resin extra protection, but it's a bit hard to polish off. Seen they've also started doing rapid ceramic spray so might give that a go too.
Ahh tree sap that is a problem even parked for a week by trees your right
I remember that now on the cleaning thing personally a tie up I think with the manufacturer and bailey at time yes ceramic is next big thing I was never keen on autoglyms gloss to watery for me to use
I have ceramic stuff but turtle wax not a big fan as it isn’t easy to get off thank you for watching and your encouraging comments too !
Hi John a question see the front windows you are cleaning how do you clean behind the panels as mines has dirt behind the front panels ??
Hi to be honest go over with a damp cloth then again use a polish dont do when its damp though - you will be surprised the amount of muck coming off them which reminds me I must do ours!
Really enjoyed your video on cleaning windows sad aint I ha .I use a squeeze but wipe it of evertime I use it but after what you said I'm not going to use it just incase .I also use a battery operated jet wash just perfect for caravans not cars it's got just the right pressure for caravans .for washing I use dayplus 21v very good I also gave those chamois very good so thankyoy very much for tips .because caravans ate your home so need looking after take care terry and Emma cleaver and will say hello at the show if we see you ta again
Hi terry
Thank you for your great comments
And you ain’t sad it’s called looking after your investment 😊
I too bought a battery washer very handy as you say and ok pressure in fact I am looking at a vid on battery washer as a great way to rinse your van
Hope I bump into you at the shows and say hello to you and Emma and thank you for watching the video it was a tad long !
Are you saying that it's safe to use polish such as Autoglym resin on acrylic caravan windows
Yes I have used such since oh late 80s when autoglym was trade only
Who does this guy think he's talking to, honestly cleaning window tips, really !!
err!! what to use basically to bring that new look and reduce scratches as most use a cloth that further scratches the surface and its a shame you didnt take the tips 😆
