About Lost Palm Detailing
RV Exterior Detailing Experts in Gulf Shores
Lost Palm Detailing
Who We Are
Lost Palm Detailing is a locally owned and operated mobile RV detailing service based in Gulf Shores, Alabama. We specialize exclusively in exterior RV detailing for motorhome owners who want expert service delivered with care, precision, and professionalism.
Founded by Will Dethloff, Lost Palm was built with one clear mission: to offer a better, more focused alternative to general auto detailers. With a passion for clean lines, high-quality finishes, and attention to the smallest details, Will saw a need for an RV-only detailing service that prioritizes long-term protection and visual results.
Today, Lost Palm Detailing proudly serves RV owners throughout Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, Foley, and surrounding areas, providing on-site, mobile exterior detailing designed for performance and convenience.
Our mission
At Lost Palm Detailing, our goal is to help RV owners protect their investment and enjoy their journey. We believe that a well-maintained RV is more than a clean vehicle — it's a sign of pride and a way to extend the life of your rig.
We take our work seriously and treat each vehicle with care and respect. Whether it’s a simple wash-and-wax or a full roof cleaning and weatherization service, every detail is done with skill and purpose.
Our approach is built on:
- Dependable service
- Honest communication
- High-grade detailing products
- Consistent results
- A focus on RVs only
Why We Focus Only on Exterior RV Detailing
There are plenty of detailing companies that offer a little bit of everything. At Lost Palm, we believe that focus creates better results. That’s why we work on exterior RVs only — no cars, no boats, no interiors.
RVs have specific materials, finishes, seals, and design features that require the right approach. Our tools, products, and methods are all selected for exterior RV care. That specialization allows us to deliver higher quality outcomes and longer-lasting protection for your vehicle.
We also know how valuable your time is. That’s why our services are completely mobile. We bring the same professional quality you'd expect at a shop right to your driveway, storage space, or RV pad.
