Your RV or trailer isn’t just a vehicle — it’s a mobile home, often exposed to sun, road grime, and harsh weather.
Regular RV detailing protects your investment, keeps surfaces clean, and ensures your trips are enjoyable and stress-free.
At CarBuffs, we’ll guide you through the best practices for RV and trailer detailing and explain how to find verified mobile detailers via MobileDetailing.io.
RV detailing is a deep cleaning, restoration, and protection process for large recreational vehicles, including:
Exterior surfaces: fiberglass, paint, decals, and trim
Roof and awnings
Windows, mirrors, and lights
Interior: floors, cabinets, upholstery, and appliances
Detailing goes beyond washing — it removes tough stains, oxidation, mildew, and other damage caused by road use and weather.
Pre-Rinse & Surface Cleaning
Remove loose dirt, dust, and debris from the roof, siding, and wheels.
Exterior Washing & Decontamination
Use RV-safe soaps and microfiber brushes to wash all surfaces. Remove oxidation with polish if needed.
Roof & Awning Care
Clean roof vents, solar panels, and canvas awnings. Apply protectants to extend lifespan.
Windows, Mirrors, & Lights
Clean all glass for streak-free clarity; protect seals and trim.
Interior Detailing
Vacuum, shampoo, and disinfect floors, cabinets, and upholstery. Remove odors and mildew.
Wheel & Tire Care
Clean wheels, dress tires, and protect undercarriage components.
Protective Coatings
Apply wax, sealants, or ceramic coatings for long-lasting exterior protection.
