A 21 year old lady popped over today for a detailing

[finerdetails]

I`d already pre-inspected this job, so wasnt going to be hit with any surprises. Apart from trying to clean it on a very windy day.



The motorhome is a Coachbuild and currently has 21 years between its date of registration and today. No spring chicken, and certainly not been as well cared for in the most recent years.



Here`s the beauty:





No joking, its very heavily stained by the weather and standing water.







Anyone who has cleaned/owned one of these will know the worst place is always the roof!





So, out with the foam gun on the karcher, the ladders, my extending brush and hope I don`t get blown away like a kite! Washing was great fun in the wind, had a couple of `squeeky bum` moments as I had to reach for the roof or find myself lying a~$e up on the floor some feet below.



Once cleaned I let it dry (the wind does have some uses), and then moved it into the unit I arranged for the day. How glad was I to have done this! :@ :@



Once inside, and all dry, out with the Porter Cable, a wolfgang polishing pad and Meguiars Cleaner Wax. Below are some half and half shots of work in progress on the roof:







Covered the whole vehicle, and left to cure whilst I had a brew and some fruit. Then back round removing the wax with MFs, applied AG Bumper Gel to the plastics and Poorboys Bold n Brite to the tyres.

The afters:











and thats why it says Vehicles on the van, and not cars! :smash:





Not an easy day, and the tripping around to take custie home, bring him back etc meant things had to be well organised.



Thanks for reading

We all know by now you do FINE work, but where are the pics of the chick!!! LOL



Yeah I know you mean the camper but I was hoping for a real chick!



Nice work as always!

Hehe, yeah I was expecting some very different pics for the title, lol! Excellent work noe the less! Cool to see a Benz cab on a motorhome too.

No interior pics?

Very nice work! I`ve done a few oxidized older motorhomes so I know you had your work cut out for you.



Meguiars Cleaner Wax did a better job than I would have expected on the gel coat, normally, I`d use their RV/boat product line.

It looks like it would make a pretty cool surf truck. Most cabin rigs over here 20yrs+ are full of trash; Yank pikeys and their debris. Nice job.

+1 for some interior shots



Great job though on the exterior.

I`ve done this a few times now with these type of vehicles and the cleaner wax is always good :waxing:

Sorry guys, no interior pics, the home belongs to a Widower in his 70s and the inside is in greater need of a full job than the exterior.... (read between the lines )

The paint looks great...but that`s still one UGLY vehicle.
