    That’s a great way for them in between cleanings. I’m from Iowa and I do some washing and detailing on RV’s in the off season at a park N of Tampa. I really recommend having a good full detail done at least once a year. My washes include the roof awnings and sides. I have seen many clean the roofs with high pressure which is a BIG NONO! Everything should be washed with very low pressure and some elbow grease. Most of my customers are elderly people and they never go on their roof. So when I wash their RV I always do a roof inspection for them for free. I check for any damage or any potential problems that may arise, such as how the dicor around vents,pipes, and skylights look. I’ll take photos to show the customer what’s going on. I’m probably one of the very few that does this but the most important part of the RV is the roof. I also recommend having your roof rubber membrane roof conditioned after it has been cleaned. So I know how you said it’s a little expensive having the detail crew come out and clean it but it may save you $ in the long run by having someone on the roof cleaning and checking for potential problems in the future. Like your channel by the way!

    I've used the Blue Beacon truck washes. Typically stopping at the last one near my destination. They're great and surprisingly affordable.
    As for the Wash Wax All, we use that at work for keeping our helicopters looking good. Among other things, it allows us to wash them in the heated hangar, instead of a wet wash outside in the cold. And you can just do the sections that need it.

    Thank you for the review! We like Blue Beacon -- used the one in Eloy, AZ. Pretty reasonable in our opinion, but can't beat your own hand detailing. We were using the RV Wash/Wax, along with the Protect-All Rubber Roof Treatment. Pretty labor intensive as it took a few days to complete the job on our 30' GD 5ver. The rubber roof treatment was a challenge due to my acrophobic issues and hubby (although a Fireman) had some issues on the roof. We will certainly try that Wash Wax All.

    I second the wash and wax kit. But I do think that the quick extend retract function of the pole can’t be overstated. I looked all over for a pole that worked as well and couldn’t find one. It gets tiresome loosing and tightening a collar on most extendable poles. We have had our kit for over a year and it still works great. High quality set up! Great video

    Love the info in this video. It was funny hearing about the live bugs. When I was owner operator, Louisiana completely drained the swamp that you go across on I12 in 2003 I believe. You literally had to stop on either end of the bridge and clean your grill and windshield as the truck started running hot. My red truck turned black with love bugs.

    We purchased this last summer and love it. Like you, we sprayed on the surface then wiped and buffed. We later learned that it is better to spray the wet pad, scrub then buff. You use much less cleaner and it doesn't dry too fast. We haven't tried that yet but will the next time we wash.

    An acid wash works great, but I would only use it on the front of the truck, and the nose front of the trailer. The secret is to not just spray it on and wash it off after using a brush. I do smaller sections, scrub, and rinse. Leave it on for 15 minutes and your paint will look oxidized. We used it in the Bakken and the Class 8's would come in covered in oil from all of the big engines running while fracturing. The stuff we used came from a chemical manufacturer in Utah, and the oil would come right off.

    Our visit to a Blue Beacon included the option of having our class A dried. One price for the windows

    the two workers go above and beyond by also drying the wheels and spraying dressing on the
    tires. They got a big tip from us !! I will be looking for the Wash-Wax All. Thanks for all the good info!

    On the truck washes... Pride in Frankfort is horrible, but one in Shepherdsville is ok, one in Hobart IN is great! After 400k miles best wash I’ve ever found is Danny’s in Phoenix. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 Amazing services, staff are friendly, and they offer full detail under a covered 3 bay area. On the “acid”, you need to say “NO BRIGHTENER”. That what they call it because it “brightens” the aluminum on the semis. Lastly, when using these you need to ask if their location recycles their water. If so you need to make sure you get the fresh rinse and towel dry the truck.
    Do it yourself... best products I’ve ever found is Adam’s wash, wax, and detail sprays. Be careful using waterless washers. If you have too much dust on the rig you will wipe it into the clear coat. You do NOT want to have to clay bar a RV! 😣 Lastly, I will use Castrol’s GT super lean on my rims and tires. It’s just harsh enough to get rid of the brake dust, but not harsh enough to harm paint or aluminum.
