Detailed: 2006 Springdale Camper

This one has been sitting in my Photobucket account for about 2 weeks now. I know this is RV/Camper season so I thought I'd post this to help anyone out that has their own to do. This was a new process to me and took me about 3 hours. Now, after doing it, I could easily do the same camper again in half the time.

Here's the process....

Wash Cycle:
(Camper Cleaning solution via pressure washer and Detailing4U Foam Gun)
Ok, here's my camper solution:
1/3 Purple Power, 1/3 Tilex, and 1/3 water.......all in a 32oz. bottle. I then connected it to my foam gun and went to work.......if that's what you call it!!! I stood at the front and easily did an entire side without moving. This was an easy 20 ft. The foam stayed on the camper's panels for at least 10 minutes. It slid down very slowly. This combination of detergents and mildew killer did the job. After letting soak for about 15 minutes, I took a wash brush to the panels. Everything came off when I rinsed. I did not need to go back a second time. This included the dreaded black streaks.

Protection:
(2 ounces of Souveran spray wax, a few ounces of Meg's Last Touch, and water via the foam gun)
This really brought a reflective luster to exterior panels. I foamed the solution on and let soak for about 10 minutes. I then rinsed. I intentionally let it air dry to see if any spotting occurred. None did. Even in full sun.......even on the glass. After drying, the panels felt soft like a hand wax had been reapplied.

This process allowed me to keep the cost down for the customer and the time down for me. This way, there was profitability for the both of us. The waxing may only last a month, but this inexpensive service has my customer coming back to me monthly now!

Total time:
3 hours

Payment:
150.00

Befores.......









Foaming.......




Foaming and chemicals working.......

New process to me. But sounds nice, and especially if it works. Keep us updated on it's durability.

Maybe another nice one would be using Duralgoss AW.

My friend just bought a camper, I guess I will have to try this when my detailing4U foam gun arrive

Great idea for the QW/Megs FT mix, seams to have worked like a charm!
