The DIY Guide To RV Detailing
As a proud RV owner, you know that taking it out for a spin is rewarding. There’s nothing better than packing your things and taking your family on an adventure. However, nobody likes hopping inside a dirty, dusty, rusty RV. You’ve probably washed it a couple of times on your own, but it still doesn’t look as great as it used to when you first got it.
To renew your RVs appearance, we’ve put together the essential steps to detailing your motorhome in this blog. Taking care of every little detail is what we’ll give you for your desired result. Let’s check out how it’s done.
Washing & Waxing The Exterior
To begin your RV detailing, clean the exterior of dirt and debris. You can either do this by hand or use a power washer. Just ensure not to use too much pressure as it may damage the paint.
Once that’s done, you’ll need to apply a wax solution on the exterior. This will help protect your RV’s paint from the elements and keep it looking new. Make sure you wax both sides of your RV, along with the roof and around any trim pieces or features.
Cleaning Wheels & Tires
After waxing the exterior, it’s time to move on to the wheels and tires. Start using a wheel cleaner to break down dirt and grime for the wheels. After that, rinse them with a hose or power washer before wiping them off with a dry cloth.
As for the tires, you want to apply a tire dressing. This will help keep the tires looking glossy and give them extra protection from dirt and grime.
Oxidation Removal
Now it’s time to tackle the oxidation formed on your RV. Direct sunlight, heat, air pollutants, and too much water are usually responsible for this. Luckily, there’s a solution for this.
You’ll need an oxidation remover, which can be easily found at auto stores. Apply the product with a polishing pad and work in small circles for the best results. Be sure not to apply too much pressure, which can damage the paint. Once you’re done scrubbing, use a clean cloth to wipe down any remaining oxidation and add a glide coat for extra protection.
Cleaning All Doors & Windows
Once you’ve finished the oxidation removal, it’s time to move on to the doors and windows. Start using a glass cleaner and paper towels to remove dirt or debris. For stubborn spots, use a small brush for better results.
Polishing
Do you want that new RV glow back? Polishing is the key. Due to dust, time, and use, your RV’s outside might look dull and unappealing, but this can be solved with a nice, good polish. This will help give your motorhome an extra shine and provide another layer of protection against any external elements. Polishing also smooths down paint correction jobs and makes it look more natural.
