Hi everyone!

We dug out our good old relaibale outwell montana 6 from storage last weekend. Its been in its bag 2.5 years. Luckily it was still in great condition but the windows seem really dirty. I cleaned them with soapy water, wet wipes and kitchen wipes but they are so smeared still. What can you clean tent windows with to get a good finish?

Thanks

I read somewhere that the window cleaner used for convertible car rear windows is the stuff that works best.

Halfords or any motor spares type shop - we have one called AutoSpares that stocks similar car stuff to Halfords but tends to be a little cheaper. ( They're local to Scotland I think, so depends where you are)
