I struggle to get just 1 side of our van clean. I have tried all sorts, auto glym resin polish, t cut but nothing works, it looks like a dull finish in parts. I think the paint may be damaged and looks a little rough. Any tips would be great👍

If you used T cut that will have damaged the paintwork! We used Meguirs 3 step to restore our caravan to looking pristine again.

The paintwork looked a bit iffy when we got the van!! I used t cut to try and restore it 👍 I did the entire van but it’s only the one side that doesn’t come up like it should. I will give the Maguire’s a look👍

What part of the van is it. My front is GRP and I tried everything with no joy in the end I had it sprayed
by a body shop now it's perfect.

It’s the opposite side to the door! It looks like it may have been affected by the weather maybe parked in the same spot as the door side comes up fine!

Spraying that piece would be the only option but beware there are lots of different shades of white. The other point is the unit worth spending money on.
