restoring shine to Front GRP panel
Can any one give us a hint on how to restore the shine to a GRP front panel on a 4 year old Geist? it belongs to our friends and they remarked how much duller their front panel looked compared to ours. We think the previous owners may have used it abroad a lot and it might be due to the sun? The...

I don’t think WD40 is good for bodywork!!!!! (I may be wrong) but if it’s that bad you need to go and get it done by a professional polisher who knows what they are doing, it does cost a lot of money about £300 give or take on size of Mh but well worth the money in the resulting beautiful finish. I had mine done last year (Sep) and it’s still lovely and shinny !!!!!!!
although you live up in north wales area you may want to consider having a little jaunt away to Nottinghan area where LG polishers are a chap called Liam who takes pride in the finish of his work and has been doing mhs fir over 10 years so he knows a bit or two about the game. I will forward his contact details if you want ok Good luck

Hello, and welcome. In my experience W.D. has many useful qualities, but as a lasting lustre liquid is lacking longevity.
In the trade it's also known as LBS, or liquid bull s%$t. The top oxidised layer of paint has to be removed,not to fiercely, just enough to let the old girl sparkle again. Good luck.
