Detailed: 2006 Springdale Camper

[justin_murphy]

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.......

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.

wow...really nice job...i cant wait to use your gun..i have 6 RV's to do in a few weeks...so...a little clearity...after you sprayed the wax on ...did you dry the rv..or let air dry and just dry spots that didnt really dry as much?

I let it completely air dry.

[scottgt]

oo..ok cool...man that seems like a really good process for the rv

[devst8]

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

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

[justin_murphy]

The possibilites are endless! You will be wanting to foam everything!!!!

[Gary Sword]

It came out looking very nice and clean.

[pirex]

Very nice. Its shines :D

[DavidJ021]

Wow. I might even start doing RV's once I get my gun :D

[Driven Auto Detail]

Looks great!

Justin you need to change your name to something like Mr. Innovative. You think of more new ideas than I can dream of! Fantastic work!

[Nica]

Very nice Justin, to think no towels required to dry and to buff....nice.

Looks really good thanks for sharing.

[Dust2Glory]

justin, first off.... where can i get a gun? second, can you come up with a solution for boats? i live by a pretty big lake have access to alot of boats, but they take up too much time. if there was a foam solution and a spray on wax solution that would be the bomb!!!

[JAF06SE]

Definitely going to try this method with my travel trailer I just got. I doubt the soap mixture would be needed once it is maintained but definitely a nice weapon for a neglected one. Love the "wax" method too. I bet it would work on cars too for a nice barrier in between waxes.
