Picked up 16 RVs/Traiers - maybe 28!!!!

[Bates Detailing]

Ok.... feeling the pressure here! 16 Rvs that need to be cleaned by tuesday for an RV show here in Nashville (may be bumped up to 28!). The problem is that monday is supposed to snow - so basically 16 done by tomorrow! Luckily I've got a crew of 4 to help me bust them out but I am going out of my realm here and doing the whole wash with soap and bucket. I have always used a drywash system, but the quantity and filth has pushed me to get some buckets, brushes, etc. Plan on tossing a spray wax on them afterward as well and do some more detail oriented steps, but this is what I have so far (way worse than they look!).


I'll have pics tomorrow night of the finished products (if Im not to tired)!!!

Make sure you preach safety to your employees if they are going to be on and off ladders.

Its gonna be alot of work but should be good pay.

DEFINITELY!!! Safety is always my number one and they know that!! Also safety for the RV..... drop a rag- toss it in the truck, don't dare let the brush touch the ground, etc. They are all real good guys and great workers.... I'm totally lucky there. Im loosing one guy in 2 weeks because he got an aircraft mechanics job, and another because he got an accounting job. These are the types of guys that I get out there - but I may be running out of employee luck if I loose my last 3!

Look in your local newspapers classifieds under Auctions/Building materials

I'm pretty sure you may be the hardest working detailer in the world, ha. Buses, planes, RVs...that's nuts! Where do you even find this work?

Are you buffing all these RVs out? Or just washing them down and spray wax?
