I clean RVs professionally and respect your video but don't ever use a turbo nozzle on the RV. You can easily cut a hole in the roof membrane and force water into the RV.

@TheDetailingBusiness Год назад

I’ve tried just about everything on those roofs to get them clean. As long as I’m not stupid about it, the turbo nozzle does the best without any issues. In fact, if you have a recommendation, I’d take it

@NicolasLetang-Kingsberry 5 месяцев назад

Same here! And even there... Too much pressure just blows the soap off instead of really having less pressure and a better rinse! Also the brush is too wide, its harder to control when cleaning tall RVs and tight spaces, you might end up scratching something!

You can go to oriellys and get what is called formula 4 spray wax Dilute it 1/10 in a spray bottle. Once vehicle is washed you can spray it and rinse off as desired within 1 seconds it should be ready and beads off and is not suppose to leave any water marks. I haven't had luck with that but does help when it comes to drying the vehicle

Great video even in 2022. Loved the prep work on seals. I did have a couple of questions. Did you do roof same as sides: Hyperwash followed by Hydro2? Also, when doing sides I saw some overshoot onto the roof. Do you just ignore or run up and rinse after that side done? Thank!

@TheDetailingBusiness 2 года назад

On a roof that is nasty and black, I’ll fill the foam cannon full strength with Meguiars all purpose cleaner and scrub. I may cautiously use a rotating nozzle on the pressure washer also. Then rinse and follow with the hydro 2 and rinse. The overspray is inevitable. Once Im done on the roof I don’t go back up, but I will try to overspray onto the roof from the ground to try to rinse

What does a 5th wheel wash like this cost in your area?

@costacheiulian6561 3 года назад

Nice method to wash the RV. Please, can you detail the steps for the washing process. What quantity of Meguiars I need to put in the foam cannon? What quantity of Hydro 2 Silica I need to put in the foam cannon? Can I combine both and apply on the same time and rinse? or, I need to apply individual and rinse every time? It's enough 1 gallon bottle for Meguiars and 0.5 litre bottle of Hydro 2 to wash a 27ft RV? Thank you very much.

@TheDetailingBusiness 3 года назад

The meguiars wash soap is great for breaking loose the grime but it doesn’t have a wax in it. The hydro 2 is the ultimate final wash and rinse. I don’t think you can combine the two but I’ve never tried. Usual I put one or 2 ounces of meguiars wash soap topped off with water in the foam cannon and wash and rinse. Then I follow with one or 2 ounces topped off with water of the hydro 2 in the foam cannon. Spray the foam on and rinse off quickly

@adamg.3138 3 года назад

What’s up brother. Thanks for this video! I got a call from a customer about cleaning their 2020 Milestone Trailer. How would you go about just washing? I’m ordering the foam cannon you have listed and was wondering if I should purchase the brush and pink stuff?

@TheDetailingBusiness 3 года назад

You’ll likely need a brush and definitely soap. You can use a wash and wax soap. An ounce of 2 in your foam cannon topped off with water. Something like meguiars wash and wax soap will work. The pink stuff doesn’t have a wax. Just soap

@TheDetailingBusiness 2 года назад

I’ve encountered this if I use it in the sun, allow it to dry before it’s fully rinsed off, or using hard water. Unfortunately I have to buff those areas out. You can try diluting it in a spray bottle and reapplying to those areas and hand buff it with a towel. It should reactivate the dried sealant

I recently purchased 2014 coachmen trailer that was parked under pine tree for a few years. It has black spots that looks similar to mold but don't think it is. Not afraid to use elbow grease.... what would you use to remove something like this? Thx.

@TheDetailingBusiness 2 года назад

It’s likely something called artillery fungus. Google image the term and see if that is what yours looks like. It actually is a type of mold from trees. There are a few home remedies online using a vinegar or bleach solution. But being a detailer, I would probably start with meguiars all purpose cleaner sprayed on and let it sit for a minute but not let it dry and maybe scrub with a bug sponge in a bucket of hot water and then rinse. Let me know if those images match your situation. If not I’ll get more details from you to better diagnose the issue

@reidcorbett895 2 года назад

I don't think it is artillery fungus as spots are not raised and don't have texture. Spots on my trailer are 1/4" diameter, plus or minus. I will try maguire soap first though. I'd take a picture of it but trailer over 2 hrs away. I have a few gray spots on old trailer that Vim removed so I will try that also.

@TheDetailingBusiness 2 года назад

Might try a cleaner wax also.

@ronaldphillips8750 3 года назад

How concerned does a person have to be about decals when using different types of foam and a pressure washer? What precautions should be taken? Thanks for the video?

@TheDetailingBusiness 3 года назад

Decals and graphics are always a concern. I’ve actually talked directly to meguiars about this topic. The main precaution is to make sure your soap is a dedicated quality car wash soap. PH balanced, non caustic, nothing that can dry and crack vinyl graphics. Most quality automotive soaps serve this purpose. Another is to be sure your not blasting the graphics with your pressure washer. Just take it easy around them and don’t get to close with the spray head. Meguiars suggested to me using a spray wax on graphics after a wash for added protection, particularly Meguiars D156 synthetic spray wax.

@TheDetailingBusiness 2 года назад

Yeah those bottom skirts are usually a rough finish and can’t be waxed with anything that will leave a white residue. If you have all purpose cleaner you can try that, or a 50/50 alcohol/water spray and wipe with a towel. If nothing else you can try a rag in a warm bucket of water with a little dawn dish soap mixed in. Use a quick detailer spray for a little protection and no residue

Nice work with the pre wash inspection! I’d love to see a video on buffing and waxing an an oxidized rv and how to deal with graphics. It’s been a mystery weather or not to go over graphics or to avoid them

@TheDetailingBusiness 3 года назад

Oxidized RV's are tough. I've done a few and now I usually turn them down. Once they are at that point, there is very little improvement that can be done and usually the customer is expecting a miracle, which isn't possible. Buffing on graphics can be done, but it is risky.

@JBrownVidz 3 года назад

It does take a lot but is very possible to bring back a shine. Worth the bill , and the bill is worth the job , once they pay it too. Have to have a good eye , mask, and eye protection for sure. I can show you some before and afters of what I’ve done .

@lxrydtl 2 года назад

I just completed a 36ft RV with heavy oxidation and was able to bring it back to life! I avoided the graphics as much as I could during my rotary step and went over all the graphics with my DA at the end. Came out great! Took forever but the customers were beyond pleased!

@Mike-qo4kp Год назад

I restored a winnebago adventurer that had been left in the sun over ten years it was a 2001 and I restored it about three years ago. The graphics you want to avoid, if you can get replacement decals from the manufacturer do so that makes it much easier. If not you'll have to pay a print shop to make new ones. From there an eraser wheel will get the old ones off quick. You don't want to hit decals with rubbing or polishing compound but you can hand wax them. As for restoring the gel coat use marine grade rubbing compound on a good stiff wool white wheel, at a pretty high speed. Avoid using anything but a rotary buffer, Dewalt makes the strongest one. After you will want to use marine polish (maguires makes both they come in blue bottles) and a foam pad setup. You can use a DA if you want. Don't go crazy with the speed. Like this video mentions look at all seals check all windows especially double paned glass. You can and should use cleaner wax by hand after you polish. On a good sized rig expect the job to take at least a weeknif younare a pro two weeks if new to doing the work. Mask off the area where you are working trust me it helps. Also faded black decals you can if you are careful and have a good spray gun setup you can use black spray paint. Remember to get a uv protecting ClearCoat over any painting that you do. For example the winnebago had a bunch of panels for storage that I repainted and bumper pieces and the black decals that looked sad I repainted. It took me months honestly, to restore that rig. Got 25k for it tho. Good luck.

How long does it take you to clean 5th wheels and travel trailers?

@TheDetailingBusiness 2 года назад

Depends on how detailed I go but a typical wash and wax takes about 1-2 hours on larger trailers

@valiantatom7289 2 года назад

@@TheDetailingBusiness I work for Campers Inn RV and we are give and hour on travel trailers and 1 an a half on 5th Wheels. Those times include inside and outside detailing.

@@TheDetailingBusiness That's the time for by ourselves. There are 3 of us, each on our own camper with those set times for the 14 to 16 foot we get 30 minutes inside and 30 minutes outside. For the 5th Wheels we get an hour inside and 30 minutes outside.

What kind of Psi do you use on RV is 1800 ok ?

@TheDetailingBusiness Год назад

I have an 3500 psi industrial pressure washer for RV’s. It’s probably a little overkill. 1800 psi will work but might take more time due to less volume off water especially when rinsing the soap off. But it is much safer than 3500 psi

To be honest, you need more experience on washing. I know this cause I do it everyday.

Someone should make a video about how awesome you are at doing something that everyone can do. Still wondering why your searching “how to wash an rv” if your so awesome at it. You must be young. That’s ok. Beat up on the old guy if it makes you feel tough.

Do the products you use remove pine sap?

Unfortunately no. Might try rubbing alcohol first

What did you use in the foam for on the roof? The Meguiers or Hydro2? Was there a reason you brushed to bumpout roof but not the main roof?

@TheDetailingBusiness 2 года назад

Typically I will start off with Meguiars Hyper wash on the roof, brush, then rinse. Then follow with the Hydro 2 then rinse. I remember having audio problems that day with my wireless mic and had to redo some shots of washing the roof. Didn't use the brush in the second take.

@kiwideann5632 2 года назад

Ok thanks. So didn’t brush the roof? I got the sprayer and hydro from your link last year. Finally getting around to wash it today.

@kiwideann5632 2 года назад

Sorry. I miss read. I see you brushed. Thanks for the quick reply!!

Not really if you have basic knowledge of electric, plumbing, and general maintenance of something. Compared to boat detailing this is much better.

@TheDetailingBusiness Год назад

Do it by hand. Every inch. And when your done, do your neighbors by hand. Then get up the next day and do it again. Repeat that every day, then let me know if your comment is still true. Not a broom by the way.
