Oxidation Removal & Polishing Services
RV fiberglass and gelcoat oxidize quickly. When that happens, a simple wash and wax won’t restore shine — polishing is required.
Below are the typical time ranges for a 35‑foot fifth‑wheel, shown first for a 1‑person crew, then a 2‑person crew.
Important Note
Time ranges shown below are based on a 35‑foot fifth wheel. Smaller RVs (20–28 ft) typically require significantly less time (30%-40%) due to reduced surface area, fewer slide‑outs, and less ladder work. Final time depends on oxidation level, RV size, and overall condition.

RV Detailing FAQ
Q: Does RV Size affect polishing time?
A: Yes. The time ranges listed are based on a 35 foot fifth wheel. Smaller RVs (20–28 ft) typically require significantly less time. Final time depends on oxidation level, height, number of slide outs, and overall condition.
Q: What does the RV Wash & Wax include?
A: A full exterior wash, APC pre soak, foam cannon, hand scrubbing, bug removal, rinse, dry, hybrid wash and wax product, wheels/tires cleaned, and exterior windows cleaned.
Q: Is the RV Wash & Wax the same as polishing?
A: No. A wash and wax is similar to washing a car and applying a spray wax. Polishing is a machine driven process that removes oxidation and restores shine.

A: For a 35 foot fifth wheel:
One Step: 10–14 hrs (1 person)
Two Step: 16–20 hrs (1 person)

Q: How much does RV polishing cost?

A: Yes, as long as space and water access allow.
Q: Can you remove black streaks?
A: Yes. Black streak removal is included in the wash process. Severe streaking may require polishing.
