Owning an RV and using it to scour the country is one of the
most impressive experiences we can live, however we do need to maintain and
detail our vehicle if we want it to work properly in the long run. So follow
along as we show you how to detail your RV the right way!
Exterior Detailing
1. Pressure wash the roof
The best way to start detailing your RV is from the outside.
You will first need to pressure wash the roof. But as a word of warning, if your
RV has aged many years you should to avoid having too much pressure, as this
can easily damage your vehicle since the roof is directly exposed to sun and it
can become brittle over time, so be gentler and avoid bringing too much
pressure at once.
2. Clean the side
Use a special spraying formula and combine it with foam.
Once the foam is placed on the side of the vehicle, use a good, high quality
brush that will allow you to rinse the dirt off. The foam will remove all dirt
so you will have a much cleaner RV in the end. Remove the water with a special
towel, which won’t remove or damage the paint, this is very important to keep
the RV in great condition.
3. Waxing
You need to get a dual action polisher and a good quality
wax. Shake the wax and place it onto the pad then push it in a little bit. Start
with a lower speed, but don’t turn the tool on until it’s placed directly onto
the RV. Also, don’t lift it until it’s finished. Try to do this to the whole RV
and take your time, it’s a time consuming but very important step when it comes
to detailing your RV.
Aside from the single step approach we mentioned, if you
want a more professional looking job you can also opt for the 3-step approach
which allows you to use 3 different types of wax, the one that helps remove
dirt, one that brings an intermediary layer and the last one which is set to
provide your RV with that nice shine you want.
4. Clean the tires
You will need a special type of wax created for the engine
which will enable you to restore the dark color to you tires. Put it on the
sponge, spread it with your finger and then apply it directly on the tire. Spread
the solution on the tire with your sponge. You need to put a second coat if you
want an even darker look.
5. Restore shine to the wheels
The aluminum wheels will oxidize, and because of that you
have to remove this oxidation with the help of a polishing solution, a
dedicated polishing system and your own drill.
Those are all steps for the outside of your RV, but you should also focus on detailing the inside of your vehicle as well.
Interior Detailing
·
Detail your engine
Here you will have to wet the area and then spray the
degreaser so that it removes all the grease from the mirror backs, rocker
panels and the wheel wells. You will then need to pressure rinse in the reverse
order, then repeat the process as many times as needed to remove the whole
grease.
·
Shampooing
This process requires you to shampoo or steam the carpet,
vacuum it and also shampoo the seats, a procedure that can differ based on the
material. This helps you with the overall seat conditioning.
·
Extra cleaning
The last portion of interior detailing requires you to focus
on cleaning the cabinets, door panels, curtains and the living area, which will
provide you with a much better RV as a whole.
