Whether your RV is covered in salt air, road grime, or tree sap, a professional wash and wax will remove contaminants and apply a durable layer of protection that restores shine and shields your exterior from UV damage.


We bring this service directly to you — wherever your RV is parked in Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, Foley, or nearby areas. No driving, no drop-off, and no water hookup needed.


Just clean, professional, on-site RV care from a trusted local business.

Why Wash and Wax Matters for RVs

Mobile RV detailing means we provide complete exterior cleaning and protection services at your RV’s location. Our mobile units are fully equipped with water, power, tools, and supplies to perform full-service exterior detailing without requiring anything from you.



It’s the same level of service you’d expect from a high-end shop — but delivered wherever your RV is parked.

Our detailing includes:

  • Exterior RV hand wash using RV-safe soaps
  • Bug and tar removal from the front cap and windshield
  • Wheel and tire cleaning
  • Trim and seal cleaning
  • Spot-free rinse and drying
  • Optional add-ons like wax, roof cleaning, or window care

Every RV gets a full visual inspection before we begin. We take the time to do the job right, and we never rush through a service.

What’s Included in Our RV Wash and Wax Service

Our mobile wash and wax service is customized for your RV’s size, surface type, and condition. We use RV-specific soaps, premium waxes, and soft applicators to ensure every finish is treated properly and safely.

Here’s what the service includes:

  • Complete hand wash using RV-safe cleaners
  • Bug and tar removal from front cap and windshield
  • Tire and wheel cleaning
  • Hand-drying with soft microfiber towels
  • Application of high-quality wax or sealant (based on finish type)
  • Final wipe-down and gloss inspection

We work section by section to ensure full coverage, even in hard-to-reach areas around awnings, storage bays, vents, and ladder mounts.

This service is often paired with roof cleaning, weatherization, or window detailing for full-service protection.

Wax Options and Surface Types

Different RVs require different approaches. We tailor every wax service based on your surface type:

  • Fiberglass or gel coat exteriors
  • Painted aluminum panels
  • Decals and vinyl graphics
  • Slide-out sides and trim
  • Awnings and seals (cleaned but not waxed)

We select waxes that offer both protection and shine without compromising older finishes or delicate decals. If your RV has a specialty coating or past ceramic application, we’ll assess its condition before recommending a product.

How Often Should You Wax Your RV?

The general recommendation is to wash and wax your RV every 3 to 6 months, depending on usage, storage, and exposure. For full-time RVers or those storing vehicles outdoors near the coast, quarterly waxing is ideal.


We’re happy to inspect your RV during the first service and recommend a schedule based on what we find.

Frequently Asked Questions

Two speech bubbles, one with a question mark.

How long does the wash and wax take?

Depending on the RV’s size and condition, it typically takes between 3 to 5 hours. Larger motorhomes or heavily oxidized units may take longer

Do you use machine buffing or hand application?

We apply wax by hand or with a dual-action polisher, depending on your RV's finish and condition. Most jobs do not require high-speed buffing.

Will waxing help prevent black streaks?

Yes. A proper wax layer helps repel water and reduce streak buildup. Regular waxing can significantly reduce black streaks over time.

Can you wax over old decals?

Yes. We use products safe for vinyl and painted graphics. If decals are cracked or lifting, we’ll work around them carefully.

Is this service mobile?

Yes. All wash and wax services are performed on-site, using our own water and power when needed. You don’t have to move the RV.
