found this fantastic new product for protecting my motor home
Puts a coating over the paintwork, the water just beads off and it can be easily refteshed.
You basically spray it with a fine spray over the whole of the body, uses about 200 ml for my Kontiki
Then wash off using a power wash, this spreads the product over the body
I know it's not great to power wash, but no needs to go close with the lance, it just spreads the product
That's it leaves the body shiny and protected

If there is a slick surface over the paint and the water beads off, the dirt dosent stick to the paint, and it is easier to clean
The black streaks don't stick as much and they are easier to clean
Detailing is car cleaning to a high standard.
Washed mine yesterday after applying this and the muck came off a lot easier
The demon shine works ok, but it's a wax, not a polymer, so no where near as long lasting or effective
Good short term results though

Thanks for that @easygirl
And presumably this stuff is safe for moho materials as well as cars? (I watched some other vidoes from the same firm for other products & not sure they would be!)

... or the windows, rubber seal?
I noticed on one of the videos the rubber seals had been masked off.

Thanks for the heads up ,but for time being I will stick with Fenwick's motorhome cleaner and Bobby dazzler. Which seem to do the same job.however I will watch this thread and see how it works out after funsters have tried it .

Been using Bobby Dazzler for years, it really is a fantastic product, it contains surfactants that just make the rinse water roll away BUT you must leather it off after applying it or you will get streaks.

safe on rubber and plastics, gives it a nice finish
No problems with the windscreen
I really rate it
Not the same as fenwicks , which I also have used, and is very good
But the Gyeon is much better

You use a garden broom on yiur paintwork, really?

I must admit I'm very particular about cleaning motorhome, so do like it looking smart.

Be careful, wash up liquid strips the wax off the vehicle and can lead to rust!

I did clean the van with a brush and Fairy Liquid.......... the van coachwork is 'dimpled' aluminum and the (24 year-old) instructions say 'do not polish' .............

If this lasts for the time stated its probably far better than some of the other products mentioned. Its a bit expensive for me to use it for my customers vans but will wait for feedback before using it on my van. Personally I cannot see why anyone would use Bobby Dazzler, Demon shine is far cheaper and gives a better shine.

Its a bloke thing

If i explained you wouldnt understand :D

A bit like why do women go to the toilet in two,s or more type thing :)

A professional car/vehicle cleaner both interior and exterior is a valeter, a detailer is a different animal all together a sort of OCD cleaner :)

Well I know a lot of blokes like CLEAN and SHINY when it comes to cars (of course if it's anything else it's a case of "Oh you do it dear, you so much better at it than I am") but I watched the detailer's video, & he was really going for it "Ooooooohhh just LOOK at that beading!!!!" Hunh??? o_O OK it was nice & sparkly, is it rufty tufty bloke compensation for not being allowed to wear sequins??? :whistle:
why do women go to the toilet in two,s
Don't ask Why - ask Why not??? :LOL:
