Product Review - Mud Buster

As many of you will know, I spend a bit longer than most people do when it comes to cleaning the motorhome. I have a certification from Auto Glym and mainly use their products but I tried this product today after a recommendation. I am sure many of you will already be using Mudbuster products but there could well be Motorhome owners on this forum who have never heard of them or have seen them but not considered buying.




On the MudBuster Caravan and Motor Home Cleaner bottle it says, washes, waxes and removes black streaks so I thought I would see how good it was.

I followed the instructions buy adding a small quantity (probably a little too much) to a bucket of warm water and washed the motorhome from top to bottom with a sponge. Black streaks literally wiped off. In areas where the black streaks were more stubborn I rubbed a bit harder and it removed them.

This was much easier than with many other cleaning products I have tried in the past.

After rinsing with the hose (no power washer) I dried the whole van off with a chamois and was very surprised with the final shine.

I would usually spend about 5 hours preparing the outside of the motorhome for a trip but on this occasion I spent about 90 minutes and am going to leave it as it is to see how it looks after a week on the road and how easy it is to clean next time.

I was pleased to see that the Mud Buster range is owned by a local company in Magherafelt County Londonderry. So buying these products is keeping it local which must be a good thing at the moment.
I would say these products are well worth trying. I know I will be carrying this spray applicator in the van wherever we go.

I am not surprised as it must sell very well.

He doesn't seem to be listed as a stockist on their site yet.

Sorry he is but under another name

how does it compare to say Fenwicks, and do the instructions say not to use a power washer or was that your own decission Mark

It beats the socks of Fenwicks, I have both here.

I think that was just for speed on Ronnie,s part ,personally I would not use a pressure washer on mine at any time no matter how dirty it was.

how did the wax go?

Seems good, nice shine, I done the car and Motorbike with it also, which left some white marks, but it does say to chamois it afterwards. Can't noticece them on the Motorhome though

I've just been on the website, watching the videos and although I'm happy to accept you guy's recommendations & give it a try, I wouldn't be convinced to buy it just by watching the vids. The only thing that was really mucky was the bike, and the power washer took virtually all the muck off that.
From what you lads are saying, the vids don't do it justice and they ain't doing it any favours.

BTW. Guess where the only English stockist is

I have stopped using Mud Buster, despite what the guy that makes it says, it contains caustic in my view.

Can anyone recommend a good campervan cleaner? something that can remove glue/adhesive marks off it

also the cab portion paintwork is very oxidised/dull, i want to bring back a shine to it.

any recommendations would be appreciated.

See if you can get Auto Glym tar and adhesive remover for taking sticky stuff off.

Farecla gel coat restorer and polish is good of your body is GRP and dull. You need to be careful on the edges and high spots. Remember to use a polish then a wax immediately afterwards. If you don't it will oxidise again quite quickly.

Silky is also good but again must be polished and waxed to seal your work...
