Hi we have just purchased a MH. The cab is white but the paintwork on the body is slightly yellowish compare to the cab.
Trying a small area out of sight is an extremely good idea. I can't quote the 30 years but for the last four years I have valeted motorhomes and caravans only and as others have pointed out panels can vary in colour ( even from new) so you may well loose your bet. Oxidation or discoloration can be different on adjoining panels (different GRP or gel coat), but the worst is generally at the front of the vanTry polishing a localized area preferably out of sight and see what happens.
I have been into detailing for over 30 years and have machine polished anything from cars to caravans and even jet skis .
My bet is it will polish out.

Hi we have just purchased a MH. The cab is white but the paintwork on the body is slightly yellowish compare to the cab. Is there any way of getting this back to white? I have tried TCut but no joy. thanks in advance
Just so that people do not get confused, most coachbuilt cabs do NOT have the paintwork that Charlie describes, it is a very thin single coat of colour with no lacquer. As for motorhomes having a thick gel coat this can vary between makes and models. I have seen gel coats worn through in six months by a breathable cover. So like most things in life please use caution when polishing.If your coachwork has changed colour. By that I mean faded or yellowed it can be polished out.
If it was/has been like it from day 1 then its unlikely you will get the desired results.
Car paint is built up of two layers 1 is the base/colour coat. 2 Is the lacquer which is what we polish. If a detailer polishes through the top/lacquer coat its disaster as this area would need re painting to reinstate the finish. We use a PTG or Paint Thickness Gauge which is an ultrasonic measuring device to eliminate this happening.
Fibreglass or composite bodywork is quite different. The colour is in the make up resins used to manufacture and it then has a thick (by automotive standards ) Gel coat on top. This gel coat will take one hell of a lot of polishing with no danger !

If the discoloration is in the gel coat you can definitely polish it out. If its in the base coat then you cant. Try polishing a localized area preferably out of sight and see what happens.

If you are at a show I don't mind giving you a sample. Sold over 500 bottles with a money back guarantee and only refunded once. My frankia had yellowing on the corners between the cab and coach body. It is now white. You would probably need a litre.You would say its good you sell it . Is 500ml enough to restore an A class??

I have tried several special cleaning products and have admitted defeat. it is yellow and the cab is white. I was wondering if my plan B of getting the cab resprayed grey (to match side decals and trims) would be doable? the cab has a few rust patches and scratches so could do with one! anyone ever had a respray done in their cab and know of the rough costs involved

Looks mint to me mate given that's it's 7/8 yrs old, you obviously take care of it you could end up chasing your tailView attachment 67988 This is what is currently looks like. Do you think it would look better with a grey cab and bumper the same colour as side grey decals and trim? Or other ideas what I can do?
