Thanks Wills for the pricing info!! I would recommend everyone do an RV at least once in their life. No matter what you charge by the time you're done you will still feel like you haven't charged enough!

RV details are the coolest, so much to improve. Great turnaround, it looked really gnarly when you got it! :goodjob2:

Naw rotary with Meg's Marine/RV 1 step compound, then waxed with the cleaner wax, wanted to use just the pure wax but couldn't find it in big bottles :(

Opti-coat, is what it needed, or a repainting! There were spots where it was just raw fiberglass sticking out which works wonders on polishing pads :) I'm trying to make Winnebago's into Ferrari's but its not working....tell me your secrets!

Nice job man...that was a really nice turn around. I woulda loved to have seen how your pad looked after taking off all that oxidation..must ahve been nasty.

What kinda pads did you use and about how often did you have to clean, or switch them?

I think you should tell everyone about the story with the bees lol...that shoulda been worth a tip right there! I bet they love how their RV looks now...hope it bring you more business!

I was using Meg's soft buff 2.0 pads, only used one since it was slowing eatting it, I'll take a pic of a new one and the one I used side by side and you will see the difference :) Had to clean them pretty much every couple feet, it was really gumming up with fiberglass particles and paint.

As far as the bees I guess I'll share, Wills sent me a PM saying that the job looked like it really busted my a$$, which was funny since the 3rd day I was doing the job there were a ton of honey bees in both the ac units on the roof of this RV. Since this was being done out on a ranch the owner said he would "mix up something" to kill them. He said trust me it will kill them on contact! Well I went up the ladder with the sprayer with a ton of bees flying around and go to town spraying, but the bees weren't dieing :( Guessed they didn't like it either since they headed straight for me, well as I got stung on the leg I try to rapidly go down the ladder...btw big mistake, and missed one of the steps, which lead to me hitting my knee and that threw me backwards right on my butt. I ran like a girl for a bit to get away....ahh fun times!
