maintainance on soft covers
« on: October 01, 2013, 04:00:26 PM »
Does anyone treat their soft covers and with what?

Occasionally the tarp comes off and before you know it, along come the crows and maggies and do their thing. Pain to get clean if left on for a day or two.

Not only that but UV protection whilst traveling or just a good old way to keep the cover in tip top condition.

Appreciate your thoughts.

We have been using "Vuplex" on the soft cover of our camper.... found that it took out the ingrained red dust and leaves the cover shiny and pliable.  Originally produced for use on cafe type plastic windows/boat windows (clears) it works a treat!  We get our supply from boat supply places and I'm not sure where else would stock it or similar (Plexus is another brand).

A bit of amoral or similar does the job as well.
