Shauntheowl Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Hi, I've just purchased a 2009 Swift Challenger. The paintwork on the front is dull compared to the rest of the van The front panel is plastic as is the rear but the rear is fine really glossy Just wondering if anyone has had the same problem or any advise on how to get the front looking like the rest of the caravan? Cheers Shaun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravon42 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I, and many others, have the same problem. Try very fine polishing compound.

Phil O Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 It is a 1st class service offered from a company based in Leicestershire, obviously I've not used them myself as I offer similar services but I don't travel as far as these lads do. They've a website so google 'tourershine' and you'll get them. From their reviews on here they're obviously very good at what they do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridgetown Caravans Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Hi, I've just purchased a 2009 Swift Challenger. The paintwork on the front is dull compared to the rest of the van The front panel is plastic as is the rear but the rear is fine really glossy Just wondering if anyone has had the same problem or any advise on how to get the front looking like the rest of the caravan? Cheers Shaun The rear panel will probably be ABS, ABS is much more whiter and high gloss. The front panel is made from GRP and unfortunately do tend to go dull and have a creamy colour. You will be able to machine polish the panel but you will be lucky to bring it back white. Hope you get somewhere with it.

I was told that they contain petroleum distillate and break down sealants and affect Abs panels. Carver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
