I would really like to know if anybody else has had the same problem that I have encountered this week.Having recently purchased our very first caravan we went out and purchased a outdoort revolution wheel arch cover to use when we put up our porch awning. We only used it for 3 nights and was horrified when we removed it to find that the black suckers that came with it had left 2 black circles on our pride and joy. Firstly i wasn't to worried but after trying soapy water, car polish, black streak remover, caravan cleaner and finally cif i managed to remove about 90 per cent of it only to find that the next morning it was back... has anybody got any ideas on how to remove it and also has anyone else had the same problem.
Seems to be a common problem from what ive been reading on the web.Its a chemical reaction from the rubber(carbon) which is extracted from engine oil.Other than what uve tried was baby wipes or top of the list was furniture polish..not mr sheen..but pledge.Cif might lift the varnish of ur van and was not recomended.One guy said when his van was in for a service he asked the dealer to remove them..which they did with something thats not available on the market ? The paint on ur van is very thin and i would not recommend attacking it with an abrasive like T cut.Ps forgot about lighter fuel to take it off
a good car polish may do it.as paint is only microns thick dont over do it.think a change of suckers is on the cards.black suckers tend to mark where clear ones do not.try bathroom suckers.
------------- the only silly question is the one you do not ask.
The valeters at the dealership where I work use something they call 'tar and glue remover' to get rid of the sticky residue left on the cars when the wrappers are removed. Not sure if you can get it from Halfords, but some commercial valeter suppliers have eBay shops, Trafalgar being one of them. What ever you get try it on something less precious than your caravan first.
