    does size matter? :))

    yes it does... 2 people took around 3h and a half for just washing and wax this thing , no polish or interior... and no roof.
    is the first one i did so far, so was a learning curve. i did use some extensions with the brushes and a leader. for windows i use a blade to remove the water faster.
    i do feel i didn`t charge enough on it , but the next one will have the "bonus".

    Nice. Although your vehicle looks like a toy next to it.

    Excellent time on the 42 footer.
    I stated in a shinetime thread, "...everybody loses out on their first rv".
    As much a fact than not.

    Keep on grinding

    EDIT: OAN, if you adjust the air suspension/leveling jacks on three corners so that the water rolls off the slide-out awning; or close the slideout, then reopen before drying vehicle - it will keep you from contaminating the end product with gallons of dirty water when the vehicle is closed upon completion.

    Tour buses are tons of work for sure - You said wash and wax.....very little paint, tons of stainless - what wax did you use?!?!??! We usually do tour buses in that caliber with EcoSmart in 2 hours PUSHING IT - but only charge about 150 give or take...... 3 hours or so on that beast isn't that bad - 50 to 100 an hour depending on time and quality is sufficient
