MER Polish

 ·  Posted: 22.11.2012  ·  #1
Have been using Mer Car shampoo & polish since the 1980's. Does exactly what it says and you only need to use a capful per wash and lasts for ages.
Got our motorhome in March 2012 & have now used MER on it. Has come up fantastic. Removes black lines without effort. It took 2 days from the rooftop down.
Our 2008 van looks brand new out of showroom!
Halfords stock Mer advanced shampoo €8.49 @ 500ml & Mer polish €19.99 @ 1 ltr
Happy Polishing :-) :-) :-)

Meguiars do a boat polish and wax which is supposed to give excellent results on the plastics, I have it but haven't had a dry enough perd to get polishing

Mer has always been very good for motorhomes. I use their gel for the plastics as it is less messy than some of the others.

I've always used Mer polish on the bikes cos I'm lazy. It's "easy on-easy off" gives maximum results for little effort :-)

And for times I dont have Mer, I use Pledge furniture polish... it also works a treat. 8-)

DAZ washing powder is great for black streaks :) - probably any washing powder.

It is very easy to spend that sort of time cleaning the van.
I have spent over 9 hours on the roof alone and it wasn't too bad to start with.

You don't need to polish a motorhome anymore. wash it with Mudbuster rinse it with water .Spray Mudbuster liquid wax all over , leave for approx 10mins and hose it off again .Your Motorhome will be gleaming and not much elbow grease used
