@cornish boy thanks for the quick reply.
Looks like I’ll stick with what I do at the mo with my vehicles then.
It amazes me how many people get sucked in by the main stealers with their car coat add on and the cost.
Thanks again
Thanks for the info @cornish boy.
The van is only 3 years old and I only use AutoGlym shampoo and polish on it. The front cowl is a bit of a bugger to get at so doesn't get the attention that some other parts get. It has been polished a couple of times with AutoGlym Super Resin Polish and then topped off with their Extra Gloss Protection. I realise that the Gloss Protection isn't a wax and seems to be some sort of spirit base. Could that have damaged the GRP finish?
Would a couple of hand polishes with SRP and finishing with Colinite wax do the trick do you think or do I need something more specialised?
I really do appreciate the advice.
Richard.

@jezport I took delivery of these two products today so made a start on one side of my MH. Once I got used to the characteristics of them both I was able to steam ahead with a DA polisher. I managed to do the top half of one side from ladders in a couple of hours but have stopped for the evening. Am I pleased with the result so far? See for yourselves...PS. This is my first go with a polisher.We use this, and have sold it for many years
Its mild cutting action means that you wont immediately damage paintwork. We also do a resin wax

Would the Menzerna be ok on the Hymer metallic paint before waxing as I have always used SRP before ?AutoGlym SRP is one of the lowest cut polishes on the market. So it will take longer and be harder to achieve good results. It’s a polish that is popular with car dealers as it contains fillers which hide swirling marks but not for long.
Try a different polish but still use a low cut one. Have a look on Ebay at the Menzerna range of polishes. Not the cheapest but excellent. I use only Menzerna when polishing. It’s a quality German brand. It maintains cut and is predictable and easy to use.
Edit.
This would be the one you want.

Beware. Always do a test on a panel out of sight before polishing on ALL MH surfaces.

I will be doing it by hand I think so might take a whileYes. But as always take care and do a small test area never go to rapid. That applies to all polishing.
The SRP is just about the lowest cut polish you can buy. The Menzerna I reccomended while still a low cut and therefore safe does have considerably more cutting ability.
A couple of observations.
Your metallic paint will have a lacquer over base finish. This is Good. Should be easy to polish and will come up fantastic.
German paint on say Audi’s and BMWs is notoriously hard. Whether your Hymer will have typically hard German paint I’m unsure. Either way softly softly cachee monkey.
@jezport
Are you doing the malvern show & taking any of these with you ?
