general cleaning

[ScouterMom]

my camper is old - and while most of the windows are clear, the big one is slightly fogged.  Don't know if it's permanent or temp - I haven't attempted to clean it yet.  

Any suggestion on what to use that might polish it up a bit? where would I find the products you mentioned above?

I will be cleaning the canvas, inside and out - have taken all of it off, (since I'm doing a major overhaul anyway, the canvas is in the way)  so I can wash both sides, re- waterproof, repair one screen, etc.

It's filthy - not too stained but very dusty - especially the screens. mostly I have used oxyclean and water (letting them soak in a kiddie pool) and scrubbing any stains on the canvas with a soft brush and some commercial RV canvas cleaner.  Rinse really well and hang to dry on the line.  For 35 yrs old it'snot looking bad, and it SMELLS loads better!   some of the stains - especially what appears to be grease marks, doesn't come out, but as long as it doesn't set off my families allergies and I can re- waterproof the canvas - I'll be happy.

But I'm open to any suggestions for the isinglass or waterproofing.

The isinglass usually goes foggy for 2 reasons.

1... too much sun exposure (probably not the case).
2... harsh cleaning solutions, like Windex, bleach or powdered cleansers.

There's not much that you can do once it gets foggy. Some polishes help slightly but replacing it is the real answer and it's not hard to do.

What type of cleaning supplies do you use and which parts of the pup do you use them on?  How frequently do you clean the outside?

I use Turtlewax car wash soap on everything on the outside including the tent ends.Spray Wax As You Dry on as I dry it off .I finish the tent ends with Westlys Interior Exterior Revitalizing Protectant.Everything looks shiny and smells great.
