I do ours 2x a year, and it's coming up in a few weeks. Day 1 I wash it, Day 2 I get one side and either the front of back, Day 3 the other side and front or back, which ever one I didn't do on day 2. I also do the fiberglass roof on either day 3 or 2... up there avto I use a spray wax so it only takes a little while.

That's why I get $500 poorer every time the RV needs to be washed and waxed.


Mine is $330 each time ($10 a foot), but he does an awesome job. Looks rubbed out when he's done, and 6 months later it still looks good. However, he's coming today as I got into a swam of lovebugs here in Florida last Monday, and had to use a light scotchbrite pad to get the bug's remains off some of the painted areas in the front. So he's going to rub out the painted ares and rewax. The lovebugs this year have been Epic. I've been in Florida since 1990, and this is the worst year yet.

Yep. have done ours several times. Always so glad when it's done. Takes me about 3 days. Much much easier if you have scaffolding , which I have had once. Easier on the body.

Thanks guys. This thing was kept indoors or undercover because it was really clean and shiny when I got it. I just used Meguiars wax on it. I clay barred the rear because thatโ€™s where all the grime collects. I buffed the front diamond shield because it had some fading. It looks better but there are a lot of imperfections in the material. It will need to be replaced but Iโ€™ll live with it for now.
Sport though guys! I donโ€™t have e time to do your rigs. I still have the other half to do, and the wifeโ€™s Explorer. Otherwise I would love to wash and wax everyoneโ€™s RV!
