Brian GorsethExterior RV Detailing in Meridian, Idaho
Hey guys. Brian here with Limelight Detailing in Meridian, Idaho. It’s a windy day today, but we are doing an RV detail and I just wanted to show you some before and after detailing the sheet metal, the trim on this Keystone fifth wheel we’re working on today. The sheet metal can get faded from:
- Salty Roads
- Lots of Water Spots
- Storage
- Traveling Over the Road
Example of Grime Build Up On An RV
This is an example of one of the parts that we’ve already finished and then I want to show you the back of the RV. You can see on this panel we’ve got some white residue from road salts and grime. This is really common especially with RV travel trailers and fifth wheels, they have this sheet metal along the bottom. Sometimes it’s plastic on less expensive models, but in this example it’s like a ribbed sheet metal material.
Meguiar’s All Season Dressing | Exterior RV Detail
You can see we’ve already washed it, but I’m running my fingers on here and you can see there’s still a lot of this white residue, it’s pretty nasty. Anyway we’ve cleaned it up a little bit, but what we’re going to do is really clean it and make it look good, if we put some All Season Dressing over the top of it, I’m using Meguiar’s All Season Dressing. It’s a great product for:
- Rubber
- Vinyl
- Plastics
- In This Case Sheet Metal
On the exterior of vehicles as well as RVs.
Process for Exterior RV Sheet Metal Detail
Step 1: I’m going to spray a little bit on here. You can already see it starts to look a lot better.
Step 2: Then you simply buff it in and I think if I’ve learned anything about applying dressing to this type of material, you really want to work it in. Get it spread nice and evenly.
Quick Tip: Don’t work too quickly, but just buff it in and as much as you can stay in one direction, like side-to-side or up and down, try to do that. It helps and it’s a lot easier.
Step 3: Then I’m going to take a clean microfiber towel and wipe it in, just to evenly coat it.
Another place you can apply it, kind of a little trick too is use a clean microfiber and just wipe it along these rubber seals up here. In another video I can show you we clean a lot of these areas here, in the corners. These can get pretty dirty as well on RVs.
