RV and Motorhome Detailing in Gibsonton, FL

RV and motorhome detailing in Gibsonton, FL. Exterior wash, oxidation and fiberglass care, and interior cleaning where your RV is parked.

Exterior wash, fiberglass and paint care, and interior cleaning, where your RV is parked.

An RV is a house that lives outside in the Florida sun. The fiberglass caps chalk up, the decals fade, and black streaks run down from every seam on the roof.

Short answer

What does RV detailing include?

RV detailing covers the exterior and the interior of a motorhome, camper, or travel trailer. The outside is washed and black streaks removed, oxidized fiberglass and paint are polished, and the finish is protected. Inside, the living space is cleaned. Doctor Detail comes to where your RV is parked.

What's included

  • Full exterior wash
  • Black streaks cleaned from seams and siding
  • Oxidized fiberglass and paint polished
  • Wax, sealant, or ceramic coating to protect
  • Wheels and tires cleaned
  • Interior living space cleaned

Fiberglass oxidizes like a boat

Many RVs use fiberglass caps and gelcoat, the same material as a boat hull. In the sun it oxidizes the same way: dull, chalky, and faded. The fix is the same too. The chalk is polished off, then the surface is protected so it does not come right back.

The Doctor does the same oxidation work on boat hulls, so RV fiberglass is familiar ground. Read more on oxidation removal.

Those black streaks

Rain runs over the roof, picks up dirt and residue, and drips down the sides from the seams and the gutters. It leaves black streaks that ordinary soap does not lift. They need the right cleaner and some patience, and then protection so they do not stick as hard next time.

Inside the coach

The interior of an RV is a small home: a kitchen, seating, floors, and windows. After a trip or a long time in storage, it needs a real clean. Interior work covers the surfaces, floors, and glass so it is ready for the next trip.

The roof and the seams

The roof of an RV takes the most sun and holds the most dirt, and it is where many of the black streaks start. Dirt and residue collect on the roof and around the seams, then run down the sides with every rain.

Keeping the sides clean starts with keeping the roof clean. When you book, tell the Doctor about the roof material and anything you have noticed, so he can plan the job.

Before and after a trip

A detail before a long trip makes the RV a nicer place to live on the road and protects the finish from the miles ahead. A detail after a trip, especially after time near the coast, removes road grime, bugs, and salt before they set in during storage.

If the RV sits in the sun between trips, protection matters most of all. Wax, sealant, or ceramic coating keeps the fiberglass from chalking up again.

Size and scheduling

RVs come in every size, from a small camper to a large motorhome. Size and condition decide the time and the price, so the Doctor quotes each one after he knows what you have. Tell him the length, the type, and where it is parked. Detailing takes a 30% deposit when you book.

RV and Motorhome Detailing FAQs

Do you come to where my RV is stored?

The Doctor comes to where your RV is parked. Some storage lots have rules about outside work, so check with your lot, and tell the Doctor where it is when you ask for a quote.

Can you remove oxidation on RV fiberglass?

Yes. Oxidized fiberglass and gelcoat on an RV are compounded and polished the same way as a boat hull, then protected.

Do you detail travel trailers?

Tell the Doctor what you have when you call. He details RVs and motorhomes and quotes each one by size and condition.

Can you protect my RV from fading?

Yes. After washing and polishing, the finish is protected with wax, sealant, or ceramic coating to slow fading and oxidation.
