    With that little time what process did you end up using?

    Was there a space outside the arena where you could actually wash them? or did you go with a wipe down and a QD.

    They sure look show ready.

    I actually dry washed them with a all in one.... I improvised and found out that if you spray an all in one (which contained clay and wax together) and squeegeed it then lightly buffed it out that it worked great! With the enclosure it didn't streak at all - in the cold it takes a crap load of buffing/wiping with a micro fiber. This worked out great though! I was paying roughly $49 an hour in labor + 3 bucks in product an hour, but we were able to finish 5 + Rv's an hour!!!!! so I was making like 150 to 200 an hour! Great system and it worked!!!!! But please remember before doing this that I did most finishing touches and have been that way for years - to ensure a finished quality product!

    Another quick thing to add is that the rims were done with a good cleaning then followed with alcohol to bring a good shine to them..........

    Great work & use of products to make it go so quickly. I would love to try one RV for fun to see how long I would take. I think I would be a little overwhelmed to do as many big projects as you have. Seems like you had a great crew working with you. That makes all the difference.

    Takes me roughly 4.5 hours for a forty footer by myself to clean, 9 hours to polish, 12 hours to do the works exterior only..... My crew has been amazing!!! Seriously, the crew has been great!!! I've been VERY lucky in that department but I think that luck will end soon!

    They look good, but what product has clay and wax together in it?

    And did you polish any of these, or just clean them up really well?

    Didn't have to polish any of them - but for all being 2011 models I was surprised in how many micro scratches that were on them. Ecowash is what I used.... they may have a similar product at autogeek - not sure. I did use Ecowash on an RV yesterday (private) and it didn't work as well as on the newer models...... but it works great on my fleets and on the newer models.
