Beware Propeller/chequer plate polishing


Rod and Mavis

Recommended Posts

Greetings all.

The manufacturer of our new van dropped a bomb shell on us at the Brisbane show just finished yesterday.

He informed us that the propeller /chequer plate aluminium on the side and back of the vans is anodized with a clear finish.

This could explain why I spent nearly two weeks trying to polish our old van with alloy polishes like Purple and others and wondered why it took so long to achieve a gloss finish.

His suggestion is to only use microfiber cloths to wash the plate and also to rub a gloss back onto it if minutely scratched by use of the wrong cloths.

To all of us that have polished the plate so sad aint it, once you do polish it ya gotta do it forever for a good look :blink:

Would it not be nice to be told these very important points when we pick up our vans????? :angry: .

Best regards to all.

Is this a recent development? My van is into its third year. It doesn't look to have a coating (unless it's been worn off by abrasive bulldust!)

Cheers
