An RV’s size and materials require different care than a car. Regular attention to the exterior prevents damage and keeps it looking great. Our expert tips help you maintain your RV between professional details.
Effective Washing Techniques and Products
Use a pH neutral RV wash and the two bucket method to avoid scratches. Always work top down in sections, rinsing before soap dries. Use a non abrasive soft bristle brush on the roof. Avoid household detergents and automatic truck washes as they can damage the surface.
For tough spots, gently scrub with a microfiber cloth. This method ensures a thorough clean without harming your RV’s exterior.
Roof Care and Seal Maintenance
Check the sealant around vents and skylights regularly. Roofs can be EPDM, TPO, or fiberglass, and each requires a specific cleaner. Never use petroleum-based products on rubber roofs as they can cause damage.
Safety is key when working on the roof. Always stay tethered to avoid accidents. Regular checks prevent water leaks and extend the life of your RV’s roof.
Protecting Your RV’s Finish
Southern California’s sun can cause oxidation and sun damage. Regular waxing every few months protects the finish, enhancing longevity. Choose a wax suitable for your RV’s material for the best results.
RV ceramic coatings offer long-lasting protection, reducing maintenance needs. While they don’t eliminate waxing entirely, they provide an added layer of defense against the elements.
