Share your washing routine

Post by grantandash »

Hey all, there's snippets of info all over the board, but I thought it would be helpful (at least for me!) to collect it in one spot.

My girl is starting to look a bit rough around the edges, I usually take her to a self-wash (I don't have a driveway) and use what they have, but I'm wondering what products/devices/methods everyone here uses to keep their rigs the envy of the road!

Thanks in advance!

I used to wash our Rig myself and then wax with Meguiar’s Products for RV (wash/wax/restoration). But for last several years, I have splurged by finding a good auto detail place that now does a full wash/wax in April ($350) and then a wash ($125) in the fall. Works for me!!!!

Thanks for sharing your "routine." I like it. I'm certainly headed in that direction as well.

The one thing I like least about RV ownership is washing it. This is the first time I remember anyone posting a price for outsourcing the chore. I would pay $125 for a full exterior wash in a heartbeat! But that ain't happening around here. Maybe I haven't looked enough.

When I was showing my 68camaro I spent several hours each night for 2 - 3 nights detailing, washing and waxing. I still wash the camaro and only do light wax once a year, but like you I hire out the Chinook wash/wax. I guess I am older and value my time more than cost to farm out.
