What Golf Caravans owners should know

A Golf on the road since the 1970s. Keep yours looking like the day you picked it up.

Golf started out in the 1970s as a Queensland builder of tough vans for the tracks heading north, and today builds the Golf Tourer, Grand Tourer, GTX, Savannah and Maxxi ranges. Whether yours is a near-new Tourer or a Linwood from the 2000s, it'll spend most of its life parked outside in Queensland sun. Book a time, bring it in to our Ashmore workshop, and we'll take it from there.

We protect every kind of Golf Caravans:

Painted aluminium you can't polish back

On a recent Golf, the walls are painted aluminium skins. Once sun and grime have dulled that paint, there's no cutting it back like fibreglass, which makes the first years the ones that matter. A coating applied while the finish is still fresh is what keeps the gloss there.

Older fibreglass Golfs

If yours is an older Linwood or Savannah, its fibreglass walls and moulded front and rear have probably had years of sun. Fibreglass oxidises, going dull, then chalky and faded. How much gloss comes back depends on its condition, so we test a section first and tell you honestly what to expect.

Black streaks and road grime

Runoff from the roof leaves black streaks down the walls under windows, awnings and vents, and road film builds up on the front and lower panels after every trip. On a coated van it comes off with a soft wash instead of a scrubbing brush.

Checker plate and the panels above it

Many Golf Tourers run dark checker plate along the front and lower sides, with the painted panels and graphics sitting right above it. Road grime collects along that edge and streaks upward. We work the checker plate and the panel edge by hand so neither gets marked.

What Golf Caravans paint is really like

How your Golf is finished depends on its age. Recent Golfs use thermally bonded 30mm composite wall and roof panels with an exterior skin of painted aluminium over a closed-cell foam core. That painted aluminium can't be cut or machine polished the way fibreglass can, so it gets a careful wash, decontamination and coating. Earlier Golfs, like the Linwood and Savannah of the 2000s, were built with fibreglass side walls and moulded fibreglass front and rear panels over an aluminium frame, and fibreglass can be brought back by polishing depending on its condition.

Our answer: we prep your Golf Caravans for what its paint actually needs, then lock it in with Fireball.

How the job runs

How We Prep Your Golf Caravans Before It’s Coated

Preparation is the job. The coating is the last hour of it.

  1. 01Full inspection under LED and swirl-finder lighting, with paint depth readings recorded panel by panel.
  2. 02Two-bucket hand wash, wheels and arches degreased, badges and shuts cleaned out.
  3. 03Chemical iron and industrial fallout removal, then a clay treatment to lift bonded contamination.
  4. 04Tape-up of trim, rubbers and sensitive edges before any machine work.
  5. 05Preparation to suit your Golf. Painted aluminium walls on a recent Golf get a careful hand wash and full decontamination, with no machine work on the aluminium. On an older fibreglass Golf, we test a section first to see how much gloss comes back before deciding how far to take the polishing.
  6. 06Decals, seals, badges and checker plate worked around by hand, with extra time on the front and lower panels.
  7. 07Panel wipe with a coating-safe solvent to strip polishing oils and reveal the true finish.
  8. 08Fireball ceramic coating applied by hand, levelled panel by panel under controlled lighting.
  9. 09IR / controlled cure, then a final inspection and handover pack with aftercare instructions.
