They said 'Treat it like a car, get every nook and cranny'- so I did. Usually a job like this takes me 7-8 hours and anyone who does RV services will agree that we use a broad stroke method rather than a detail brush method. Meaning that if it's cleaner than when you started and you take care of the 'big stuff' most customers are thrilled, but the owners of this Teton 40' wanted me to really take my time.
Everything 2' down from the roof got ONR after using the pressure washer to clean the seams and roof. 35 gallons is alot for me to do an RV, usually I use roughly 18-25; that's a good way to gauge how dirty it was.
Removed the A/C and Sat covers to get around the bases better.
Frankensoap on the roof, car wash mixed with APC and usually using a long handled boars hair brush. But this one I got in there with a short handled soft bristle wheel brush around the raised components.
You can usually hit these vinyl canopies with an APC and pressure wash them clean, this time I had to hand scrub them to get decent results. The white spot is discolored due to the puddling- should even out in tone once the UV hits it again.
Best hand job in the state. Most trailers get 'detailed' by a pressure washing company with spray on/spray off cleaners. This is hand applied Collinite Insulator, used about 3/8 of a bottle and 8-10 microfibers to remove it. Square footage like this will clog a towel up quickly.
All the brightwork- ladder, rub strips, cubbie latches, roof rails, etc- got polished with a Lake Country wool polish ball.
And there was a large tree overhead of the RV that I had to duck under and around. While kneeling it was less than a foot above me and a bird decided to swoop in and flutter his wings so close that I dam near fell off in sheer surprise and fear of losing an eyeball or earlobe. :rofl
There were alot of mobile homes in this park, had a few people stop for pricing inquiries. Found out my price is almost double what a power washing company would- guess the difference between us is in the details.
