Thanks Vic, Peeled what we could with fingers then used Eucalyptus Oil to get rid of residue. Will delete that other one, thanks. Never know how to do that. Wombat, Myrtle's metal polished.

Gday...
I can ACTUALLY hear the bubble of enthusiasm in your voice ..... looks great and after the trials and tribulations, you and she will become very firm mates.
Well done - and it won't be long now before the HW to actually be HW'ing again.
IT will make her go faster , as she will slip through the air with the greatest of ease!Its nice to see here going, anyway.Hope to be down your way this summer. Bill

I'm jealous HW! We started this trip with a clean shiny tug and a new clean shiny caravan. Not any more! We have taken the tug to a car-wash place which got some of the Pilbara dust off, and I've managed to keep the caravan ok inside (just!) but outside its a mess. It seems washing of caravans isnt allowed anywhere we go!
Enjoy your shine and still enjoy when it gets a bit muddy, thats what happens when you are adventuring on new roads.

HeadnHome, don't worry those stripes were baked on too, 30 years ago at least. Takes a bit to get them off but just keep persevering. I am very pleased with the finish especially when comparing the before and after photos, really shows just how much of a shine Ken managed to get. Oh , Ken also did a few maintenance jobs too I didn't know needed doing. Found one brake light was blown, replaced that. Rivets in the bottom of number plate and some grease on the sliding door. What a man! have picked out some very nice orchids and will deliver soon, Lyn will love them.

You've both done a great job Marj, and Ken has my vote for GN of the Year !!
Myrtle has been cut and polsihed to an inch of her life. Looking very shiny.
Have also stripped off most of the ugly brown stripes down the side which were tacky and broken.
Thank you to Ken Thomas for all your hard work today.
Can only get one photo up at a time. Tried more and it wouldn't go through.
She's looking good Ken!!
Myrtle before. The closest photo I could find to the first one on here. Can certainly notice the difference.
Rosie
She's certainly looking good lilly and Rip & Rosie. Very pleased.

Have laid new lino and carpet, very clean.
Thats just a bit of sunlight shining on the carpet.
Looks very nice Marj, what did you use to get rid of the brown stripe?
Here's one of the back of your van with the rego blotted out if you want to delete the other one and use this.
